Abstract:This paper explores the manner in which global automotive forces combine with local institutional influences to drive, shape and restructure the trajectory of the South African automotive industry under the hegemony of the `German connection´. It is shown how and why the German corporations, unlike their American and Japanese counterparts, were able to successfully integrate their global value chains with local institutional and policy conditions and profit from it.
