Abstract
Automotive manufacturing is South Africa's largest manufacturing sector and contributes substantially to our GDP and exports. Since 1995 the sector has been integrated into global value chains, and has had to become more productive, more competitive, and more technologically intensive. MICHAEL GASTROW studies the factors that determine competitiveness in this sector.-
