But the Brazil of the early C21st is a country with a lot to offer. Geographically, Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world, covering over 3.3 million square miles. This makes it bigger than the whole of Western and Central Europe, and the largest territory in the Southern Hemisphere. Within its borders, Brazil enjoys an abundance of natural resources. It has more arable land than any other country, and accounts for almost 14% of the world‟s total reserves of drinking water. This profusion of water also offers plentiful hydro-electric power. Proven oil and gas reserves are also growing. Brazil has been self-sufficient in oil since 2006, and new offshore discoveries hold out the prospect of substantial future exports. Brazil also ranks No 5 in the world for size of population, with around 190 million citizens. This figure places it some way behind China and India but comfortably ahead of Russia, the fourth member of the BRIC grouping. Whilst there is still considerable poverty in Brazil, the 30 million people moving upwards into socio-economic classes A, B and C is a firm indicator of increasing wealth and spending power. Conveniently, from a business perspective, 75% of that purchasing power is concentrated in the south and south-eastern states. Sadly, Brazilian bureaucracy can seem to match the country‟s natural features, in both size and diversity. This presents considerable challenges to business. One multi-national vehicle maker reported that they had a team of 33 staff employing on tax issues in Brazil, whilst in their European head office the same work was handled by just three people ! Overall, the tax burden in Brazil is reckoned to equate to 38% of GDP. International trade is also hampered by historically high import duties and slow customs clearance procedures. Brazil ranked a lowly 87th in a recent World Economic Forum listing of “countries most open for trade” and her share of world exports/imports lags behind that of other BRIC countries. 5 In the automotive sector, Brazil also offers scale and variety. Its vehicle parc is the tenth largest in the world, and contains a diverse range of vehicles of American, European and Japanese parentage, to which interesting local variants have been added. Currently, China and Brazil are the two brightest lights in the global auto industry. Meanwhile, of course, Brazil is still the world‟s top coffee producer – over 40 million bags in 2008 ! THE IMPORTANCE OF BRAZIL’S AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR Curiously, the automotive sector does not appear among the Brazilian government‟s six key industries, through which it is planned to drive exports and economic growth. Foreign ownership of the major manufacturers may be the reason why it is rated behind the aviation, meat, metal-working, mining, paper/pulp and petroleum industries in government priorities. Nevertheless, the sector accounts for almost one quarter of the country‟s manufacturing GDP, and is a substantial source of both foreign investment and local employment. Internationally, Brazil already enjoys a prominent position in the global league tables. In 2008, total vehicle production reached 3.22 million, making Brazil the sixth largest producer in the world. It is by far the largest automaker in the Southern Hemisphere. Despite the general economic malaise, and a sharp downturn in vehicle sales in many international markets, Brazilian production fell by only 1% in 2009. This is a testament to the strength of the domestic market which grew by 11.4% to 3.14 million, enabling the local industry to weather a collapse in export sales. Overseas shipments, as reported for the first nine months of 2009, dropped by 43% percent, with the truck sector particularly badly effected. The resilience of Brazil‟s domestic auto market has certainly attracted global attention, but it has also posed some new challenges. The local component sector seems to be struggling to match current levels of demand. In 2008, Brazil became a nett importer of automotive components for the first time in five years. Vehicle development programmes for the Brazilian market also face the conundrum of matching engineering solutions to local tastes and cost expectations. 6 ABOUT THIS REPORT Recognising the fact that Brazil is currently one of the “bright spots” for the global motor industry and at the same time remains a country with limited business and cultural ties to the UK, SMMT has undertaken this study to offer UK-based companies a clearer view of the Brazilian automotive sector, the conditions under which it operates, the opportunities which it may offer, and the sources of help/information that may be available. The report is based upon a series of interviews conducted in Brazil in late 2009, and supported by supplementary desk research. The figures quoted are accurate at that time. By its very nature, the report can present only general advice and information. However, during its compilation, SMMT developed contacts with a range of key players in Brazil, both inside and outside the automotive industry, who may be able to assist with specific questions and enquiries. Whilst every care has been taken to ensure the accuracy of the report, SMMT cannot accept any responsibility or legal liability for the accuracy, completeness or value of the information that it contains. 7 Brazil’s automotive industry is heavily concentrated in the south and south-eastern states of Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Parana and Rio Grande do Sul 8 POLITICAL & ECONOMIC INDICATORS THE POLITICAL BACKGROUND The economic data for C21st Brazil is in stark contrast to the depressing figures posted for most of the preceding decades. This turnaround, instigated by the plano real fiscal reforms of President Cardoso, co-incides with – and is largely attributable to – a period of stable democratic government. It is a balance that most Brazilians are eager to maintain. When Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva, founder of the left-wing Workers‟ Party, won the presidential election in 2002, many feared a return to political and economic instability. But today there is widespread agreement – even amongst automotive executives who personally remember him as the radical leader of the Metalworkers‟ Union – that “Lula” has steered a moderate course, largely adhering to the policies of his predecessor. A new president will be elected in 2010. Whilst many Brazilians appear unenthusiastic about the potential candidates, there is a general expectation that whoever comes to power will continue with the economic strategy which has performed well for the past fifteen years. GENERAL ECONOMIC INDICATORS Brazil has successfully weathered the global financial crisis of 2008/9. A combination of a closely regulated banking sector (banks operating inside Brazil have long been required to lodge compulsory deposits with the central exchequer), a growing domestic economy, strong commodity prices and substantial currency reserves has proved sufficiently robust to sustain economic expansion. Official figures project a further 5% growth in 2010. Inflation In 2009, inflation ran at slightly below 5%, and is expected to fall further in 2010. In the last five years, the rate has remained consistently below 8% - a remarkable achievement for a country which 9 was recording 800% inflation as recently as 1994. Brazil out-performs the overall inflation rate for Latin America. GDP For the last five years Brazil has sustained a steady rate of GDP growth, ranging between 3.2% - 5.7%. In the first quarter of 2009, the rate briefly turned negative, but positive growth was restored by the end of the year, and current estimates for 2010 indicate an increase of 3.5% – 5%. Brazil‟s national per capita GDP of $10,200 is still lower than several of her Latin American neighbours. However, the countrywide figure obscures the much greater wealth of the south and south eastern regions that account for 75% of overall spending power. Share of GDP, by state Sao Paulo Rio de Janeiro Minas Gerais Rio Grande do Sul Parana Bahia Santa Catarina Distrito Federal Other 19 States Exchange rates The Real, adopted as the official currency as recently as 1994, has attained a level of stability to which its seven C20th predecessors could never aspire. In recent years, the Real has appreciated steadily against the major international currencies. The movement against Sterling has been particularly sharp, with a 43% fluctuation over the last five years, whilst the US Dollar and the Euro have both lost around one third of their relative value.

  • LABOUR and TECHNOLOGY in the CAR INDUSTRY. Ford Strategies in Britain and Brazil
    LABOUR AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE CAR INDUSTRY. Ford strategies in Britain and Brazil Elizabeth Bortolaia Silva Thesis submitted for the Degree of PhD, Imperial College of Science and Technology University of London May 1988 LABOUR AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE CAR INDUSTRY Ford strategies in Britain and Brazil ABSTRACT This thesis looks at aspects of recent changes in international competition in the car industry. It examines the implications of the changes for the relationship between technology and work and it considers how strategies of multinational corporations interact with different national contexts. It is based on a case-study of the Ford Motor Company in its two largest factories in Britain and Brazil, Dagenham and São Bernardo. Chapter 1 describes existing theoretical approaches to comparative studies of technology and work, criticizes technological and cultural determinist approaches and argues for a method that draws on a 'historical regulation' approach. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 describe the long-term background and recent shifts in the pattern of international competition in the motor industry. In particular they look at important shifts in the late 1970s and 1980s and at Ford's changes in management structure and product strategy designed to meet these challenges. Chapter 5 considers recent debates on international productivity comparisons and presents a fieldwork-based comparison of the production process at Dagenham and São Bernardo. The description shows the importance of issues other than technology in determining the flexibility and quality of production. In different national contexts, 2 different mixes of technology and labour can produce comparable results. Chapters 6, 7 and 8 look at the national and local contexts of industrial relations in the two countries to throw light on the different patterns of change observed in the factories.

  • Car Firms' Strategies and Practices in Europe
    1 ♦ Car firms’ strategies and practices in Europe Michel FREYSSENET (CNRS, Paris) Yannick LUNG (Bordeaux 4 University) GERPISA international network The automobile sector is often presented as the archetypal global industry. In this view, car business is one of the main driving forces behind the homogenisation of the world, both because of the firms’ internationalisation strategies (mergers-acquisitions, establishment of facilities in emerging countries, world cars, international division of labour, etc.) and as a result of the social practices enacted by them via their organisation of work and their influence upon lifestyle (automobile civilisation). Regarding the case of Europe, the present article is an attempt to deconstruct a representation that neglects the heterogeneity of firms and spaces, the great diversity of strategies pursued, and the inherent contradictions of the competitive process. For doing that, we will use the analytical approach of firms’ trajectories elaborated by us during the first and second international programs of GERPISA (Boyer, Freyssenet, 2000). Growth modes, profit strategies and productive models Analysing car makers’ trajectories and performances over the course of the 20th century allowed us to renew our understanding of the two essential conditions that are prerequisites for profitability. The first is the relevancy of the “profit strategy” to the “growth mode” that typifies the countries in which the firm is deploying its activities. The second is the “company government compromise” between a firm’s principal protagonists, a meeting of the minds that enables actors to implement means coherent with the profit strategy pursued—in other words, to invent or adopt a “productive model.” Profit strategies are combinations of profit sources in compatible proportions.

  • American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information
    American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information 1956 Statesman and Ambassador 1956 Statesman Gets a New Look The 1956 Nash Statesman received a major facelift. The front and rear fenders were restyled. There were larger front running lights and new taillights. A revised hood ornament was used and one- piece rear windows replaced the three piece '55 unit. The chrome side stripping now included a shallow 'Z' shape on the side and outline moldings on the hood and rear fenders. A 12-volt electrical system was used for the first time. Statesman was being phased out, - so the only Statesman model available for 1956 was the "Super" four-door sedan. Surprisingly, even though its days were numbered, the Statesman engine was redesigned to fit an overhead valve cylinder head and a 1956 Statesman 4-Door Sedan. two-barrel carb. This did increase the power to 130 hp, ten more than the two carb L-Head had produced, and more importantly 15 more foot-pounds of torque. It also allowed the compression ratio to be reduced to 7.47:1 letting the Statesman return to regular grade fuel. This motor was shared with the Rambler, albeit there with a one-barrel carb and ten less horsepower. 1956 Ambassador Ambassador for 1956 still offered the 6 and 8 cylinder variants, though the six mimicked the Statesman in that only one body style was offered; the 4-Door Super. It too shared all the styling changes of 1956 Statesman, but on the seven inch longer wheelbase of the 1956 Statesman 4-Door Sedan.

  • CSE1322 Assignment 3
    CSE1322 Assignment 3 Background: A rental car company has hired you to build an inventory system to keep track of their vehicles. The company, Acme Car Rentals, rents 3 classes of cars: Economy, Midsized and SUVs. Each rents for a different price. Their initial inventory is as follows: Type Make Model Color Current Original Rental Mileage Cost Rate Economy Nissan Versa Blue 105 $14,500 $25/day Economy Toyota Yaris White 8422 $17,500 $25/day Midsized Dodge Avenger Green 15720 $15,000 $45/day Midsized Ford Focus Yellow 2368 $14,500 $45/day SUV Toyota Rav4 Silver 432 $26,150 $80/day Classes you must create: ● Define a Vehicle class. ● It should have attributes for make, model, color, current mileage, original cost, and a boolean that keeps track of whether the vehicle is currently rented. ● It should have getters/setters for each attribute. ● It must have a constructor to set all attributes. ● It should have an override for toString or ToString which returns a string similar to: ○ Available: Blue Nissan Versa with 105 miles ○ Rented: Blue Nissan Versa with 105 miles ● Define an Economy_Car class. It should inherit from Vehicle. ○ It should have an attribute daily_rental_rate. ○ Create a constructor which takes in make, model, color, current mileage, original cost, and daily rental rate. ○ Create an override for toString/ToString which prints: ■ Economy Car: Rented: Blue Nissan Versa with 105 miles ● Note most of this is just the text that your parent class prints. ● Define a Midsize_Car class. It should inherit from Vehicle. ○ It should have an attribute daily_rental_rate. ○ Create a constructor which takes in make, model, color, current mileage, original cost, and daily rental rate.
