Spatial organisation and company performance: a comparison between two models in the motor vehicle industry

Andrea Bardi and Giuseppe Calabrese

International Journal of Automotive Technology and Management, 2007, vol. 7, issue 1, 88-107

Abstract: This paper compares two completely different regional production systems – Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna – both characterised by marked specialisation in the motor vehicle industry. The former traditionally focuses on the automotive sector, while the latter is broadly differentiated into the manufacture of buses, trucks, motor cycles and agricultural equipment. The comparison is based on financial statements and is viewed from different perspectives: growth, productivity and profitability.

Keywords: local productive filieres; motor vehicle industry; ratio analyses; automobile industry; regional production; Italy; spatial organisation; company performance; industrial development; economic growth; productivity; profitability; regional development; economic development.
