“…Since its early days, the automotive industry has been permeated by innovation, driven primarily by product differentiation and process efficiency, the pillars of its value creation and the key parameters of competition between automotive companies. Automotive companies distinguish themselves in terms of the products, relations and operations that define their global value chains (Sturgeon, Van Biesebroeck and Gereffi 2008) As demographic and institutional changes reshape the world's landscape, many urban areas are starting to become a hostile environment for automobiles (Zegras 2015). If we take a closer look, however, it becomes clear that this is not (only) a matter of product inadequacy because merely replacing the current vehicle fleets in cities with environmentally friendly cars would not solve the challenges of congestion, gridlock, and parking space.…”

This work would not have been possible without the support of IESE Business School and its annual meeting of the automotive sector, IESE AUTO. The meeting was launched by Professor Pedro Nueno and Joan Llorens, the former chair of SEAT. Special thanks to both of them. Many colleagues at IESE, research assistants Cecilia Simkievich and Luis Herrera, students and managers in the automotive industry have contributed indirectly to this compilation of facts and the accompanying reflections. We thank them for their support and hope that readers will find this compendium useful. Most of all, we hope that the automotive industry will continue to be what it has been during the past century: "the industry of industries." We want to thank IESE Industry Meetings for their support and financial contribution to this work.
