The car industry, developments in China and implications for Latin America

Due to its dimensions and global scope the car industry is in the center of investment promotion policies, insertion strategies for productive chains, and transfer of technology. This industry currently combines three important elements, (i) it is the leader in productive globalization (electronic commerce, subcontracting, and commercialization), (ii) the production of vehicles in China and in East Asia is adding dynamism to the market and provoking strategy changes, and (iii) the division between original producers and suppliers is consolidating the number of main producers but multiplying the number of subcontractors. These new tendencies that include productive globalization, China and the new production chains require the formulation of a production strategy on behalf of the private companies and an adequate promotion on behalf of the governments.China, Latin America, Car Industry, Production Networks, Globalization

Análise de acordos institucionais e programas de desenvolvimento produtivo em América Latina e o Caribe: Proposta metodológica e resultados de prova

Este documento apresenta uma contribuição para o desenvolvimento de análises de programas de desenvolvimento produtivo (PDP). A proposta metodológica do Mapeamento e Índice de Desempenho Institucional (MIDI) constitui um esforço para quantificar e mensurar os aspectos institucionais que contribuem para um melhor equilíbrio entre o custo e os benefícios dos PDP. O objetivo do MIDI é avaliar a qualidade dos programas e dos acordos institucionais que os sustentam e que influenciam sua capacidade de alcançar os resultados esperados. A partir dessa perspectiva, fica evidente a importância de se formularem métricas para a análise das funções de concepção, execução e monitoramento desses programas, bem como dos acordos institucionais que os abrigam.Política Industrial, Business Development, SME, Public Administration & Policy Making, política empresarial; avaliação institucional; política institucional; políticas de desenvolvimento produtivo; estrutura; alcance; desempenho do Governo

The automotive industry, developments in China and implications for Latin America

Due to its dimensions and global scope the automotive industry is often a subject of debate when investment promotion policies, insertion strategies for productive chains, and mechanisms of technology transfer are being discussed. The automotive industry combines three important elements: (i) it is leading the globalization of production (e-commerce, subcontracting, and commercialization), (ii) the production of vehicles in China and East Asia is vitalizing the market and provoking changes in strategies, and (iii) the division between original producers and suppliers is consolidating the number of producers but increasing the number of subcontractors. These new trends, which include productive globalization, China and new production chains, make necessary the formulation of a production strategy by private businesses and appropriate promotion by governments

La industria automotríz: desarrollos en China e implicaciones para Latinoamérica

Due to its size and global reach, the automotive industry raises debate when discussing investment attraction policies, strategies for the insertion of productive chains and technology transfer mechanisms. Today this industry combines three important elements: a) it is a leader in productive globalization (e-commerce, subcontracting and commercialization), b) the production of vehicles in China and East Asia is boosting the market and causing changes in strategies and c) the division between original producers and suppliers is consolidating the number of main producers multiplying the number of subcontractors. These new trends, which include productive globalization, China's preponderant role, and new production chains, force private companies to formulate production strategies; and to governments, to offer a successful promotion.Por sus dimensiones y alcance global, la industria automotriz suscita debate cuando se discuten políticas de atracción de inversión, estrategias de inserción de cadenas productivas y mecanismos de transferencia de tecnología. Hoy esta industria combina tres elementos importantes: a) es líder en la globalización productiva (comercio electrónico, subcontratación y comercialización), b) la producción de vehículos en China y el Este de Asia está dinamizando el mercado y originando cambios de estrategias y c) la división entre productores originales y proveedores está consolidando el número de principales productores pero multiplicando el número de subcontratistas. Estas nuevas tendencias, que incluyen globalización productiva, papel preponderante de China y nuevas cadenas de producción, obligan a las empresas privadas a formular estrategias de producción; y a los gobiernos, a ofrecer una acertada promoción
