| Abstract: | As of 1 Jan 2006 all automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and component manufacturers operating within the European Union will need to comply with the End-of-Life Vehicle Directive (EU ELV). This article employs Rugman and Verbeke's (1998) strategic matrix of firm response to environmental regulation to examine qualitative details of the strategic reponse of automotive component manufacturers and OEMs in the UK to the demands of the directive to judge the volume of offsets generated. |
