A I Cipher Automotive Patent Trends 2019 provides a strategic overview of patented technologies in Foreword the sector. Patent intelligence is critical at a time when there is an accelerating shifrom conventional technologies to connectivity, autonomy, shared services and electrification. It is not only the OEMs and their suppliers who are investing billions in automotive R&D, but an entire network of technology companies and a vast swathe of start-ups that are now able to participate at a time when barriers to entry have been lowered. These dynamics are placing increasing pressure on legal, intellectual property and R&D teams alike. We have now reached the point where there are over two million new patents published a year, and it is harder than ever to understand whether the patents you own are the ones that truly serve your business objectives. Advances in AI have made it possible to access information about who owns patented technology. The analysis of technologies and companies in the pages that follow were generated in less than 4 hours - by a machine that does not tire, drink coffee or take holidays.

  • Volkswagen Cars, Politics, and Culture in the Post-1978 China: the Social Construction of Success
    Volkswagen Cars, Politics, and Culture in the Post-1978 China: The Social Construction of Success Xiaolan Qiu Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Science and Technology Studies Timothy W. Luke (Chair) Daniel Breslau Ellsworth Fuhrman Saul Halfon February 13, 2012 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Volkswagen, Shanghai-Volkswagen, technology policy, sociology of technology, China Volkswagen Cars, Politics, and Culture in the Post-1978 China: The Social Construction of Success Xiaolan Qiu ABSTRACT Volkswagen (VW) is one of the first foreign carmakers that made direct investments in China after 1978. From its entry in the Chinese market to the year of 2009, VW enjoyed popularity, high reputation, and undisputed leadership in the Chinese passenger car market, and achieved a great commercial success. Most previous accounts attribute VW’s success in China to VW’s wise business operation or Chinese government’s support. This study guided by the methods and theories of technology studies, especially the actor- network theory (ANT), takes into account technical, socioeconomic, political, or cultural factors simultaneously. By selecting one of VW’s successful joint ventures with China – Shanghai Volkswagen (SVW) – as a case to do in-depth investigation, it examines the relationship between heterogeneous actors (both humans and nonhumans) and the pathways of SVW development, and has found that all of the SVW establishment, production, marketing, and development were shaped by a range of diverse social and material actors, including the central planners, local government, VW, local suppliers, Chinese consumers, and VW cars, and depended on Chinese particular political and cultural context; VW’s success in China presents a story of co-construction of power and actor-networks.

  • Internationalization and Distribution Strategies of the Chinese Automotive Sector: the Case of Colombia and Peru
    Internationalization and distribution strategies of the Chinese automotive sector: The case of Colombia and Peru ABSTRACT When the Chinese auto industry decided to stop supplying the local market and expand to the western market, it had to evaluate the best alternative to market its brands. This article develops, on the one hand, from a conceptual approach, the modes of entry and the forms of distribution follow the automotive brands; and on the other hand, from an applied approach, the internationalization and distribution strategies of the Chinese brands (Changan, Great Wall, Haval, JAC and BAIC) of light vehicles present in Colombia and Peru. In this second part you can know the history of each of these brands since they arrived in each of the countries chosen as a case study, its evolution and its current behavior. KEYWORDS Internationalization - Distribution - Automotive industry - Chinese brands - Colombia - Peru 1. INTRODUCTION The automotive sector, in the countries where it is a big business, is one aspect of development for the benefits that it represents for its economy, among them, consumption, employment generation and foreign exchange income, but also in improving the quality of transport of its inhabitants. Although the industry is well developed in the United States, Europe and the Asian continent, it is expected that it will also develop in Latin America, a region that already represents the fourth largest market in the world. Speaking of Latin America, it shows that in this region three groups of countries are distinguished. The first one, consisting only of Brazil, which, due to the size of its population, consumes almost all of the vehicles it assembles.
