The automotive industry constitutes the backbone of the world's
economy and employs the greatest share of the working population.
It has been contributing to the growth of modern society by
satisfying everyday mobility. However, it has been accused of
affecting the environment and public health, and thus finding new
methods of propulsion for automotives is currently a subject of
intense debate. In this volume, the concept of sustainable
development has been correlated with the main theoretical framework
of production analysis and managerial economics, that is:
manufacturing and architecture theories; theory of comparative
advantage of design location; design driven and design thinking
theories; concepts-knowledge models; rule-based and innovative
design regimes; path dependency theory; literature on breakthrough
and disruptive innovations; studies on technology competition;
reasoned action and planned behavior theories; institutional
theoretical approaches; firm growth theories; smart grid paradigm;
business model innovation; definition of scenarios through analytic
hierarchy process models and consumer framing.
The Greening of the Automobile Industry is one of the products of
the research program "Sustainable Development and Automotive
Industry," run between 2007-2010 by GERPISA (the Permanent Group
for the Study of and Research into the Automobile Industry and its
Employees). GERPISA is a French-based international network of
researchers in economics, management, history, and sociology, all
studying the automotive industry. The GERPISA was formed in 1992
and is made up of 400 members from 27 different countries.
