Just completed in early 2012, my report for the US National Auto Dealers Association (NADA) on Factory (OEM) Facilities Programs, and how one might evaluate their economics. A recent piece on the surprisingly slow pace of consolidation among automotive suppliers, here. A presentation on the advantages and disadvantages of OEMs pursuing "downstream" business opportunities in the automotive marketplace. Another presentation, this one on the challenges facing Chinese OEMs seeking to enter the North American marketplace. I did this in 2008 but I am (perhaps foolishly) proud enough to say it seems to be holding true today, still! Palgrave published a book a few years back by the research group GERPISA, on recent developments in various OEMs worldwide. I did the Ford chapter. They plan to update the book in 2012: my new chapter on Ford (in draft form) is here. | ||||||||
