The Automotive Media: Last Bastion of Sanity in the World of Political Correctness Welcome to the automotive world, the last holdout in the battle against political correctness.

In the automotive media, it is still acceptable to represent men in business suits driving luxury vehicles, and to show mothers driving their kids in a minivan. There

Just like the other industries such as apparel, electronics, and consumer goods, the automobile industry has accelerated its foreign direct investment, cross border trade and global production. The automobile industry has increased outsourcing and bundled value chain activities in major supplier chains.

Much emphasis has been placed on globalization in the automotive industry as a result of the rapid increase in automotive exports. The role of government somewhat distinguishes the automotive industry from other industrial sectors, by means of policy implementation steering its development(Lamprecht 2009:7).The assist of government through the motor industry development program(MIDP),first established in 1995,has acted as a driving force in the promoting of competitiveness and export expansion.The

Since 2004 the automotive manufacturing industry in Australia has seen a steady decrease in the production volumes and profitability for manufacturers (Industry, June 2014 Automotive Update, 2014). Many governmental schemes have been introduced over time to increase efficiency and facilitate international competitiveness with varying degrees of success, however despite these attempts by the Australian government to increase and sustain international exports of automotive products, local firms still
The Australian automotive manufacturing industry has experienced substantial structural change (“Productivity Commission”, 2014). This has been in response to changing market and competitive conditions overseas and in Australia, and reduced levels of assistance from governments (“Productivity Commission”, 2014). Following similar decisions by Holden and Ford, these factors have led to Toyota’s decision to abandon manufacturing in Australia by 2017. AMWU National Vehicles Secretary Dave Smith said
For the last two years, the car industry has experienced constant changes in the world political conditions, economic climate, socio-cultural transformation and technological advancement. Today’s carmakers have been astonished by the increasingly growing demand in the developing world, and also struggled to meet all the demanding environmental regulations in most countries in the world. In addition, the new development of mega cities, and the emergence of new technologies have urged automakers to

This model describes the competitive environment
In the early 1960’s the Canadian automotive industry faced a growing crisis of a seemingly uncontrollable decline in the production and sales of American brand vehicles, which was a major industry in Southern Ontario. Several domestic and international factors had contributed to this economic crisis and the task of stabilizing it fell upon the shoulders of the federal government. Official inquiries were established and several economic policies were put into place to help remedy the situation, but
The Automotive Industry The automotive industry is involved in the manufacturing and distributing of cars and specific car parts such as car bodies, drivetrains, engines and transmissions. Car companies in the industry manufacture these cars in their factories often using parts purchased from specialized companies (ex: company only producing transmissions) or parts produced in their own factories. These cars are then purchased by car dealerships (independent franchises selling cars to consumers)
Australian Automotive Industry. It identifies and describes the five force analysis developed by Michael Porter, and applies this framework to the industry in order to analyse the impact of profitability. Economic analysis is conducted to help support the framework and explores a variety of concepts in order to determine the potential profitability in the industry and whether it is growing or declining.
