Today, some suppliers have grown increasingly powerful and in certain cases, earn revenues that rival or even exceed that of their automaker clients. In the preglobalisation period, automakers wielded absolute power over their significantly smaller suppliers. This book reveals the upending of this relationship, with the gradual shift in the balance of power from automakers to their suppliers in this era of globalisation.The book examines how suppliers in the global tyres, seats, constant velocity joints (hereafter 'CVJs'), braking systems and automotive semiconductor industries have evolved into powerful oligopolies through a mix of acquisition and organic growth strategies. It also highlights how joint ventures could be strategically deployed as springboards to acquisition, as they enable firms to familiarise themselves with their partners markets and operations. Moreover, the book analyses the disruption stirred by the entry of wellresourced technology titans into this industry and their inevitable clash with the traditional incumbents.This book is an invaluable reference for anyone interested in learning more about the automakers and now their suppliers relentless quest to create marketdominating intelligent driving systems.
