Abstract

The automotive industry is one of the stereotypes for academic research. From sociologists concerned with changing working practices and labour management relations, through geographers with interests in the spatial distribution of industry and employment, to economists concerned with questions about levels of integration, scale and scope economies, and macro-trade issues — all these disciplines draw on the automotive sector. The continuing fascination of the sector is perhaps due to the way in which it is seen as a paradigm of wider social and economic phenomena. There are three main reasons why the sector is of continuing significance: (i) economic; (ii) organisational; and (iii) environmental. It is for these reasons that we make no apologies for returning to the automotive sector here.
