“…4 O' Sullivan et al (2013), along with Andreoni (2015), identify shared characteristics of Networked Industrial Policy in Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, focusing on manufacturing policies in the post-2008 crisis period. 5 A recent report found that the US automotive industry could benefit from the recently established regional intermediaries part of the Network for Manufacturing Innovation designed to address needs that emerge as a product of the growing sophistication of manufacturing (Galvin, Goracinova, and Wolfe 2015). In a similar vein, the UK government has put forward a High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Strategy, a centerpiece of which are the Catapult centers meant to aid in commercialization.…”

“…More recently, Detroit development officials have adopted the express goal of helping the region diversify by promoting a cluster of advanced battery technology encompassing the entire supply chain. There has been ongoing recruitment of battery pack manufacturers and vehicle electrification programs, along with the development of a comprehensive strategy, including investments in R&D, generous tax incentives, extensive training programs, and public-private partnerships between universities, industry, government agencies, and the US Army (Galvin, Goracinova, and Wolfe 2015;Wessner 2012).…”

Dans le sud de l'Ontario, où se trouve un pô le industriel automobile, des politiques permettent de soutenir de nombreux projets de recherche portant sur l'application de technologies habilitantes. Toutefois, ces projets ne répondent aux besoins que d'un faible pourcentage d'entreprises, les fournisseurs très novateurs, et ne touchent pas la base manufacturière traditionnelle. La situation est pourtant très différente dans d'autres pô les industriels automobiles, comme Detroit, au Michigan, les West Midlands, au Royaume-Uni, et le Bade-Wurtemberg, en Allemagne, où les projets de recherche appliquée concernent l'ensemble des entreprises de la chaîne d'approvisionnement. Dans cet article, nous avançons que l'Ontario doit tirer d'importantes leçons de ces nouvelles formes de coordination industrielle afin d'empêcher l'érosion des capacités d'innovation des entreprises de sa base manufacturière automobile traditionnelle.Mots clés : pô les industriels automobiles, recherche appliquée, coordination industrielle, politiques en matière d'automobiles Policies for the southern Ontario automotive cluster support multiple collaborative research projects designed for the application of enabling technologies. However, these initiatives cater to a small percentage of highly innovative automotive suppliers and exclude much of the traditional manufacturing base. This stands in contrast to automotive clusters in Detroit, MI; the West Midlands, United Kingdom; and Baden-Wü rttemberg, Germany, where applied research collaborations target the entire supply chain. With respect to policy implications, we argue that new forms of industrial coordination emerging in competitor regions may offer critical policy lessons for Ontario on how to stem the erosion of innovation capabilities in its automotive supply base.

“…Although SR&ED and other programs are useful in covering some R&D costs, they do little to overcome the significant technological and training challenges involved in technology transfer (Council of Canadian Academies 2013). There have been relatively few systematic policy initiatives aimed at facilitating technology transfer to SMEs through the kind of strong institutional support that exists in Germany, Japan, and even the United States and Mexico (Britton 1993;Galvin, Goracinova, and Wolfe 2014). Most automotive R&D is performed not in Canada but elsewhere in the corporate value chains of global automotive suppliers.…”

Dans cet article, nous analysons un sondage que nous avons mené, auprès de dirigeants d'usines canadiennes de pièces d'automobiles, qui portait sur des questions liées à l'innovation et à l'influence des politiques gouvernementales sur les stratégies et la performance des usines sur le plan de la concurrence. Nous examinons trois questions : a) Les politiques contribuent-elles au succès des usines, ou le freinent-elles ? ; b) La situation des usines appartenant à des intérêts canadiens diffère-t-elle de celle des usines appartenant à des intérêts étrangers ? ; et c) La situation des usines de petite et de moyenne taille est-elle différente de celle des grandes usines ? Nous menons d'abord notre analyse dans le contexte de l'ensemble du secteur automobile et des récentes politiques canadiennes manufacturières et de l'automobile, puis nous concluons en montrant les implications de nos observations sur la mise en place de futures politiques. Mots clés : industrie des pièces automobiles, politique manufacturière canadienne, politique automobile This article reports on a recent survey of Canadian automotive component manufacturing plant managers that focused on issues related to innovation and the influence of public policy on plant-level competitive strategies and performance. Three questions are addressed: (a) Do public policies inhibit or contribute to plant success, (b) does the experience of Canadian-owned plants differ from that of foreign-owned plants, and (c) does the experience of small-and medium-sized plants differ from that of large plants? The analysis is first situated within the context of the industry and recent Canadian automotive and manufacturing policy and concludes with the implications of our findings for public policy development.

“…The use of special automotive decrees was the instrument used by policymakers to attract FDI (Galvin, Goracinova and Wolfe, 2015;Carbajal, 2015). The country's trade openness at the end of the 80's, the implementation of the socalled North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994 and the introduction of sectoral development policies promoted the relocation of automobile plants to new regions, such as the area known as Bajio.…”

Objetivo: este artículo analiza, críticamente, el desarrollo de la política industrial (PI) en Guanajuato, México, a través de la reconstrucción de su trayectoria y la evolución de su enfoque. Se centra en los instrumentos de política diseñados para promover la industria automotriz en este estado, la que recientemente ha desplegado un gran dinamismo, medido este a través de la inversión extranjera directa atraída por la región. Metodología: la información presentada es el resultado de un análisis cualitativo e interpretativo de los planes y programas especializados. Para analizar la evolución de la política industrial se reconstruyó su trayectoria a través de la consideración de, lo que llamamos, hitos legales, y del tipo de los instrumentos de política diseñados y aplicados (pasivos / activos). Resultados: se identificaron dos etapas y enfoques de política que denominamos: 1) Establecimiento de las Condiciones Básicas-Enfoque Pasivo y 2) Condiciones de Largo Plazo-Enfoque Activo. Durante la primera etapa, la PI se enfocó en la atracción de IED y en la construcción de infraestructura básica; en la segunda etapa, con una visión de largo plazo, se han desarrollado e implementado intrumentos activos de PI que buscan promover la construcción de infraestructura especializada, el encadenamiento, la capacitación y la transferencia tecnológica. Limitaciones: la obtención de la información fue a través del análisis de documentos oficiales. Para futuras investigaciones es importante llevar a cabo un análisis crítico de los resultados de los proyectos establecidos en los planes y programas analizados, a través de estudios de caso o de estudios de correlación entre variables clave (p.e. IED y empleo, IED vs inserción de empresas locales, etc.). Conclusiones: los instrumentos de política que se han implementado en Guanajuato han fomentado la consolidación de la industria automotriz en la región. Algunos indicadores económicos que dan cuenta de esto son: mayor empleo, avance en el desarrollo de proveedores locales, programas de capacitación, entre otros. Sin embargo, su influencia en el desarrollo local es débil, por lo que la política industrial debería enfocarse en la construcción de capacidades locales de absorción para que exista un beneficio generado por las externalidades de la IED.
