PLOTTING COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES FOR DETROIT

Abstract

The auto industry plays a vitally important role in the U.S. economy. Automotive products account for an estimated sixteen percent of all durable goods shipments in the U.S. and affect many other critical industries, such as primary metal, machine tools, plastics, rubber, glass, tire, battery, and electronics industries (Koretz and Treece, 1989). American auto companies together with their suppliers provide good‐paying jobs for several million American workers. A strong U.S. auto industry is essential to a prosperous U.S. economy.
