There is little emphasis within the industry and its consultancy and analyst supply network on the broader social and economic impacts of automobility and of the sector that provides it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Global Automotive Industry\u003c\/i\u003e addresses this need and is a first port of call for any academic, official or consultant wanting an overview of the state of the industry. An international team of specialist researchers, both from academia and business, review and analyse the key issues that make vehicle manufacturing still the world's premier manufacturing sector, closely tied in with the fortunes of both established and newly emerging economies. In doing so, it covers issues related to manufacturing, both established practices as well as new developments; issues relating to distribution, marketing and retail, vehicle technologies and regulatory trends; and, crucially, labour practices and the people who build cars. In all this it explains both how the current situation arose and also likely future trajectories both in terms of social and regulatory trends, as the technological, marketing and labour practice responses to those, leading in many cases to the development of new business models.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a global overview of the automotive industry, covering its current state and considering future challenges\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains contributions from international specialists in the automotive sector\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents current research and sets this in an historical and broader industry context\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers threats to the industry, including globalization, economic and environmental sustainability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Global Automotive Industry \u003c\/i\u003eis a must-have reference for researchers and practitioners in the automotive industry and is an excellent source of information for business schools, governments, and graduate and undergraduate students in automotive engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Nieuwenhuis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 111880239X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781118802397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.70w x 0.70d","brand":"Paul Nieuwenhuis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43924135575807,"sku":"9781118802397","price":128.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f6737707-72cd-4d7a-b71f-8c9bfb42d5be.jpg?v=1681068687","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-global-automotive-industry-paul-nieuwenhuis-9781118802397","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
