What can we tell about the future of automobiles and the industries that make them by examining their past? Wormald and Rennick trace the history of powered land transport, the rise and fall of the railways, the spectacular rise of the automobile, and what might come next. Delving into the mighty and complex automotive industry, following the growth of the markets and production, this book illustrates the globalization of vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers, giving form to the development of the industry's business model. A key factor in an auto-industry's successes and failures is the often-difficult relationship it has with government, which varies in nature from country to country. As an illustrative case, Wormald and Rennick present and analyse the entire lifecycle of Australia's automotive history – including its birth, growth, functioning and death - and its shifting relationship with the government that supported it.
John Wormald is Managing Partner and co-founder of Autopolis, which specializes in strategic assignments for actors in and around the global automotive industry, critically analysing the industry in order to understand its structures, relationships, influencing factors and dynamics. He is co-author of two major books about the automotive industry. Kim Rennick is Autopolis's partner resident in Australia. He also provides consulting services to business owners in the fields of governance, directorship and leadership. He has co-authored submissions and papers for the Australian Productivity Commission, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and various State and Federal Government Inquiries.
