Abstract
The Italian automotive industry highlights particular characteristics compared to other countries. In Italy, there is only one important assembler, Fiat Chrysler Automobile and one of the most important European automotive supply chain, characterized by a clear predominance of SMEs that were once dependent on the national producer. The last decade has marked important changes in this historical condition. Firstly the internationalization process of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Secondly, the economic-financial crisis has generated strong repercussions on the automotive industry, which since 2008 has recorded a sharp decline in car production, especially in Italy. Based on this ever-changing scenario, this chapter analyses the restructuring process of the Italian automotive supply chain and which development factors have changed over time.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
