This book discusses the changes in the regional infrastructure within the European automobile industry. It is based on the increased competition between the European automobile industry and its suppliers, which has several causes: the intensified activities of Japanese competitors in Europe, leading to faster adaptation to new production concepts in European companies (lean production); concentration of suppliers in connection with these new concepts; new opportunities and competition as a result of the home market and the opening of Eastern Europe.

They possessed a deliberate intent regarding the most suitable method of encouraging others to achieve...
