East Asia has led rapid economic growth in the last few decades with India joining them over the last five years. Automotive parts manufacturers have been an important component of domestic production in all these economies.

The rich collection of country experiences are both original and incisive.

This volume includes:

Case studies from China, Japan, India, Thailand and Malaysia
A study of the role of multinationals in Asian technology building
