| Tiivistelmä: | The authors have found that Brazil's automobile component parts industry shows that vertical integration and scale economies endure within flexible production systems; Recent neoliberal economic reforms propelled vehicle assemblers to adopt flexible modes of production and subcontract component manufacturing. They evaluate the strategies of finished vehicle and subsystem assemblers to install lean automobile production systems in Brazil, focusing on Dana Corporation, Bradesco Bank, and British Tyre and Rubber Corporation - firms that assemble chasses,engines, and body systems, respectively. Empirical analysis (1990-97) captures the effects of trade reforms and a drive by vehicle assemblers to become more flexible. |
