Today, some suppliers have grown increasingly powerful and in
certain cases, earn revenues that rival or even exceed that of
their automaker clients. In the pre-globalisation period,
automakers wielded absolute power over their significantly smaller
suppliers. This book reveals the upending of this relationship,
with the gradual shift in the balance of power from automakers to
their suppliers in this era of globalisation. The book examines how
suppliers in the global tyres, seats, constant velocity joints
(hereafter 'CVJs'), braking systems and automotive semiconductor
industries have evolved into powerful oligopolies through a mix of
acquisition and organic growth strategies. It also highlights how
joint ventures could be strategically deployed as springboards to
acquisition, as they enable firms to familiarise themselves with
their partners' markets and operations. Moreover, the book analyses
the disruption stirred by the entry of well-resourced technology
titans into this industry and their inevitable clash with the
traditional incumbents. This book is an invaluable reference for
anyone interested in learning more about the automakers' and now
their suppliers' relentless quest to create market-dominating
intelligent driving systems.
