The stagflation crisis and the European automotive industry, 1973-85

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
The  success  in  coping  with  the  stagflation  crisis  depended  on  two  groups of factors. On the one hand, survival depended on assemblers’ strategies  to  promote  economies  of  scale  and  scope,  process  and  product innovation, related diversification, internationalisation and, sometimes,  changes  of  ownership.  On  the  other,  firms  benefitted  from long-term path-dependent growth in their countries of origin’s industrial systems. Indeed, the main winners of the period, Toyota and Volkswagen, can rightly be seen as outstanding examples of Confucian and Rhine capitalism. However, since then, global convergence with Anglo-Saxon  capitalism  may  have  eroded  some  of  the  institutional  bases of their strength.
