Strategies of Internationalisation of Automobile Firms in the New Century: a New Leap Forward?

Chapter 3 in The Second Automobile Revolution, 2009, pp 38-65 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The automobile industry presents a paradoxical situation. It has a century-old tradition of internationalisation. Together with electronics/electrical equipment and petroleum exploration and distribution, it dominates the list of the top 100 largest transnational corporations ranked by their foreign assets established by UNCTAD, with twelve automobile firms in 1990, and still eleven firms in 2005. But despite this strong presence, these automobile firms were initially much less internationalised than the average.
