Abstract: The paper presents the GERPISA international network's new research programme (2000-2003) on the coordination of competences and knowledge in regional automotive systems. After defining a theoretical approach to the issue of coordination, the paper analyses the three main factors underlying the structural changes that are taking place in the auto industry the emergence of new types of knowledge, globalisation trends and the redefinition of social compromises. It then discusses the automotive systems' reorganisation changes in the productive organisation (modular production) and the increasingly immaterial nature of automotive activities (services). An agenda for future research is briefly outlined in the conclusion.
