The Toyota Way and the Crisis: A New Industrial Divide?

Arnaldo Camuffo and Davide Riccardo Weber

Chapter 3 in Sustaining Industrial Competitiveness after the Crisis, 2012, pp 57-103 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is clear from the evidence that the whole automotive industry in Europe has been facing years of deep crisis and that this situation is likely to last far into the future. This is indeed a fact. A thorough analysis of the whole industry may be excessively complex, thus in this chapter we have decided to focus on a case study representing the benchmark for the whole automotive industry (and more!): Toyota. However, a brief overview of the general European framework will also be necessary.
