This book examines the dramatic increase in automotive assembly plants in the former Socialist Central European (CE) nations of Czechia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia from 1989 onwards. Enticed by relatively lower-wage labour and significant government incentives, the world’s largest automakers have launched more than 20 passenger car assembly complexes in CE nations, with production accelerating dramatically since 2001. As a result, the annual passenger car production in Western Europe declined by more than 20% between 2001 and 2015, and alternatively in the CEE it increased by nearly 170% during this period. Drawing on case studies of 25 current and former foreign-run assembly plants, the author presents a rare historical account of automotive foreign assembly plants in the CE following this dramatic geographic shift. This book will expand the knowledge of policy-makers in Europe in relation to their pursuits of FDI and will be of great interest to scholars and students of business, economic history, political science, and development.

This book chronicles the divergent growth trends in car production in Belgium and Spain. It delves into how European integration, high wages, and the demise of GM and Ford led to plant closings in Belgium. Next, it investigates how lower wages and the expansion strategies of Western European automakers stimulated expansion in the Spanish auto industry. Finally, it offers three alternate scenarios regarding how further EU expansion and Brexit may potentially reshape the geographic footprint of European car production over the next ten years. In sum, this book utilizes history to help expand the knowledge of scholars and policymakers regarding how European integration and Brexit may impact future auto industry investment for all EU nations.

This book investigates the role that foreign direct investment (FDI) in central-eastern and southern Europe has played in the post-crisis period, comparing patterns across countries and sectors. An overarching objective of this publication is to assess the extent to which FDI can still be seen as a key driver of economic development, modernisation and convergence for Europe’s low- and middle-income economies, taking into account also the risks and limiting factors associated with FDI.

This book offers a critical analysis of recent developments in the automotive industry of East-Central Europe (ECE). Economists, industry specialists and national governments have considered the rapid development of the automotive industry in ECE in the past twenty years an unqualified success. This rapid growth has been based on large inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) from Western Europe, North America, Japan and South Korea, and it significantly contributed to GDP growth, created thousands of new jobs, and completely transformed the previously existing automotive industry in the region. This volume offers an analysis that goes beyond uncritical celebratory accounts of this rapid growth. It is based on original, detailed firm-level research conducted by the author in Czechia and Slovakia between 2009 and 2015 that covered assembly firms and the networks of component suppliers. Theoretically and conceptually, the analysis will draw on the global production networks and global value chains perspectives. Drawing on the original empirical data and on additional available information, this volume concentrates on several important questions related to the development of the automotive industry in ECE in the 2000s:• The role of FDI in the rapid development of the automotive industry after 1990 and particularly in the 2000s.• The upgrading of the automotive industry in East-Central Europe through FDI• The position of ECE in the automotive industry research and development (R&D)• The effects of the 2008-2009 economic crisis in the automotive industry of ECE.• The role of state in the rapid development of the automotive industry in ECE in the 1990s and 2000s.• The effects of FDI on domestic firms in the form of linkages between foreign-owned and domestic firms and spillovers from foreign-owned to domestic firms.

IFC Discussion Paper 21. Much research has been conducted on the automotive industry in industrial nations, which formerly accounted for nearly all auto production worldwide. Little attention has been given to growth of the industry in the emerging markets of Central and Eastern Europe, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America. In 1993 these economies accounted for approximately 19 percent of global vehicle output, with vehicle sales growing by at least 30 percent annually. This paper focuses on the automotive industry in developing countries and reviews the main points of the roundtable discussions organized by the IFC in Brazil, Hungary, India, and Indonesia. The discussions cover business aspects of the industry, as well as related government policies. The study also makes far-reaching suggestions. For example, component manufacturing can thrive and help generate foreign exchange, whereas car assembly may not succeed. The authors identify the major changes that have occurred since the roundtable discussions and identify the implications for developing countries. This volume is useful for private entrepreneurs considering automotive investments and for policymakers working with unresolved policy agendas.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Mainz, course: European Integration, language: English, abstract: If there is a term which can best subsume current trends in development of politics, society and economics it would be globalization. Major drivers of the globalization process are multinational companies (MNCs). The value of their foreign direct investments (FDI), as part of internationalization strategy, has enormously increased in the last decades. This development allows for their continuous strive for competitiveness through opening up new markets or lowering their costs as a result of economies of scale or a beneficial business environment in the target countries. Thereby the degree of international division of labor shows an upward trend underpinned by the increasing permeability of borders in regard to goods, services, capital and people. Above all lower communication barriers facilitate the operation of cross-border production networks. As the thesis will state Central European Countries have experienced a tremendous increase in FDI inflows in the last 10 years which definitely contributed to a faster privatization and deregulation process. Their attractiveness to foreign investors has increased in that way that locations in Central Europe take an important part in the production network of MNCs. The key question of this thesis is: What are the major reasons for multinational companies to invest in Central Europe through foreign direct investment and which role do production networks play for an international company? This question will be examined by regarding the example of Continental AG - a German component supplier to the automotive industry. The hypothesis is first that Continental AG has established a multinational production network. Secondly it is to be proven that locations in Central Europe play a significant role for Continental AG due to cost-based as well as marketbased considerations.
