Abstract A historical financial data base was developed for the four major U.S. auto- mobile manufacturers, focusing on the specific operations associated with production and marketing of automobiles and light trucks. The years subject to analysis were 1967-1976. The principal accounting and reporting policies of each manufacturer were examined. The accounts selected for analysis were 1) property, plant and equipment- annual capital investment; 2) special tools — annual capital investment; 3) mainte- nance, repairs and rearrangements--annual operating cost; 4) research and develop- ment-annual operating expense; 5) depreciation and amortization of assets annual operating cost. Using a process of successive disaggregation, the consolidated corporate financial statements for each manufacturer were analyzed to develop estimates of the specific automobile - and light truck-related amounts. Data and information to assist in the disaggregation process were collected by means of a literature search and discussions with industry analysts. the accou rto future change An examination of the sensitivity of each of of was also performed. department transportation MAR 9. 7 1979 library 17.

Little, Inc., for the U.S. Department of Transportation, Transportation Systems Center (DOT-TSC) presents an analysis of historical financial data of the U.S. automobile manufacturers, focusing on the microeconomics of automobile production. Specifically, the microeconomic examination was concerned with develop- ing historical information on the several critical investment and expense items which might face an altered risk environment as a result of regu- lated or legislated product design modifications. Part I of this report presents the results of an analysis of current generic problems and controversies in financial reporting, leading through a progressively more specific analysis to an evaluation of the published financial statements of the automobile manufacturers as to their utility in gaining further insight on this problem. Part II presents the results of financial analysis of the specific accounts deemed appropriate for examination. The analysis was performed for each of the four domestic automobile manufacturers, focusing on the years 1972-1976 but with background information developed and analyzed for the period 1967-1976. The Appendix presents a bibliography of information sources and a discussion of the utility of various sources for the problem at hand. The most current financial report available for this study were those of fiscal year 1976. !

  • Genesee and General Motors' Outsourcing
    New Automotive Markets: Genesee and General Motors' Outsourcing Prepared by: Michael S. Flynn and David J. Andrea of the Office for the Study of Automotive Transportation Transportation Research Institute The University of Michigan January 1990 Under a Sub-contract from the Industrial Technology Institute for a Contract from The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction This report seeks to identify potential market opportunities for Genesee County within the automotive economy, but external to General Motors. Through a combination of interview, survey, and archival data, it identifies product markets with three characteristics. First, demand from suppliers is likely to increase due to increased sourcing rather than manufacturing by the automotive assemblers. Second, capacity levels in the independent supplier sector are unlikely to be adequate to meet those demands. Third, the skills and product-experience of the GM labor force in Genesee constitute an available, trained workforce. The report also identifies companies, including domestic and transplant suppliers, that are likely beneficiaries of the increased outsourcing by the manufacturers; are likely to be capacity- constrained; and are likely to seek new locations. The ultimate goal of the study is to provide some direction to Genesee's efforts to find near-term replacement activity and jobs for expected losses at General Motors. The strategy reflects a recognition that Genesee's immediate attractions are its location with respect to the automotive facilities of the manufacturers, and a workforce both acclimated to the industrial culture of the automotive industry and experienced and skilled in its work requirements. In the final analysis, Genesee must diversify away from its heavy reliance on the automotive economy, but diversification within that economy is an important step, both to alleviate the impacts of the coming losses at GM and to achieve a diversified economy.

  • The Effectiveness of Sanctions Revisited: an Empirical Analysis Using a Bargaining and Enforcement Framework
    THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SANCTIONS REVISITED: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS USING A BARGAINING AND ENFORCEMENT FRAMEWORK Bo Ram Kwon A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science. Chapel Hill, NC 2013 Approved by: Navin A. Bapat Mark J. C. Crescenzi Layna Mosley Tom Carsey Lars Schoultz 2013 Bo Ram Kwon ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BO RAM KWON: The Effectiveness of Economic Sanctions Revisited: An Empirical Analysis Using a Bargaining and Enforcement Framework (Under the direction of Navin A. Bapat) While extant research on economic sanctions have identified various state-level variables that affect the effectiveness of economic sanctions, this study examines sanctions success by incorporating the role of the firm. I argue that imposing sanctions creates an enforcement dilemma for sanctioning states or senders. Namely, unlike the decision to impose sanctions, senders often have disincentives to enforce their sanctions policies on their firms, given that the restriction on economic transactions with targeted states may undermine their competitiveness. Following a strategic bargaining framework that consists of a sender, its firm and a target state, I propose that sanctions are more likely to succeed when the sender's firm retains a moderate share of the target's market relative to its foreign competitors. Also, I argue that due to strategic interaction, sanctions are more likely to be imposed when the conditions do not favor their success. The detailed case illustration and large-N quantitative analysis support these predictions and suggest that sanctions enforcement is indeed critical in determining sanctions success.
