Ownership Matters: French Governments and Automotive Industrialists Facing the Japanese Challenge, 1974–1986
本文探讨1974-1986年间法国左右翼政府干预汽车产业，导致供应商外资并购、工厂关闭和破产，但未能成功抵御日本竞争，通过日产在英国和法国供应商案例揭示失败原因。
Between 1974 and 1986, the intervention of various French governments on both the right and the left—in addition to corporate maneuvering and increased focus on competitiveness and lean production—resulted in foreign direct investment, mergers, plant closures, and bankruptcies among struggling French automotive suppliers. This article will explore why these efforts were unsuccessful by revisiting the first Japanese attempts to enter the European automobile industry. It does so not only through the case of Nissan in the United Kingdom in 1984 but also through the essentially unfamiliar and contemporaneous example of French automotive suppliers.
