| Tiivistelmä: | There are 29 automotive (hereafter as: a-m.) firms in the worlds largest 500 firms. Yet none of these are "global" firms, defined as having at least 20 percent of their sales in each of the three regions (here as: regs. for 'region' as: reg.) of the broad "triad" of the EU, North America and Asia. Indeed 23 of the 29 auto and auto parts firms are home-reg. based, with an average of more than 60 percent of their sales as intra-regional (here as: i-regl). These are representative firms across the 500, as the average i-regl. sales for all manufacturing firms is more than 61 percent. There are a few special cases, especially Toyota and Nissan of firms being active in two regs. DaimlerChrysler and Honda are "host-region oriented". Seven cases are discussed in some detail to explore the reasons for the lack of globalization in the world a-m. business. |
