We start by tracing how innovation shaped the first century of its history. We then examine the industry's shifting footprint in Europe and North America, and the rise of new producers, particularly China. Succeeding chapters emphasize the role of suppliers in what is now a high-tech industry. We describe new forms of collaboration that challenge traditional supply chain relations, analyzing regulation as a driver of innovation, and the enabling role of the materials science revolution, such as the shift of steel from a commodity to a highly engineered product. We cover innovations in management, from computer-aided engineering, roadmapping, and just-in-time methods to the evolving role of workers and public policy. We finish with an overview of electric vehicles, shared mobility, and autonomous vehicles, concluding that they will not prove disruptive. 410 0$aIndustry profiles collection.$x2331-0073 606 $aAutomobile industry and trade 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAutomotive 610 $aEnvironment 610 $aIndustry 610 $aInnovation 610 $aSupply Chain 610 $aTechnology 615 0$aAutomobile industry and trade. 676 $a338.476292 700 $aSmitka$b Michael$0962841 702 $aWarrian$b Peter 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157524003321 996 $aA profile of the global auto industry$92183240 997 $aUNINA
