“…These competitions were accompanied by generous incentives that reached beyond legal and ethical norms (Kolesár, 2006;Jakubiak et al, 2008, Pavlínek, 2016. Slovakia presents itself as the country with the largest state financial incentives of the automotive industry (Nicolini et al, 2017). Geographical proximity is considered a strong predictor of sourcing success according to econometric models.…”

The article deals with the spatial pattern of the supply network of the automotive industry according to the time-accessibility to four car assembly plants in Slovakia. Empirical results are anchored in the spatial concept of integrated periphery and theoretical framework of the nested structure. We obtained the data after a personal meeting with the General Secretary of the Association of the Automotive Industry in Slovakia. The database contains a list of 313 suppliers of different levels. We assume that with increasing distance from automobile assembly plants and decreasing level of the supply network, the geographical concentration of the supply network will become lower. Our results confirm the assumption that tier-1 suppliers are located closer to assembly plants with higher geographical concentration compared to bottom suppliers‘ levels. On the other hand, these spatial patterns change when we consider a regional production system of the automotive industry that reaches beyond the national territory scale (e.g., KIA) or a launch of a new car assembly plant (JLR) arriving into a developed environment with an existing network of suppliers.

“…The crisis that, at the European level, has affected the sector of the sale of new cars in the last decade, brought about especially by a decrease in the demand, has produced intense changes in the sector, turning it into one of the most dynamic sectors of the European economies (Nicolini, Scarpa, & Valbonesi, 2016). These changes have taken place in Portugal, where the postulates of the traditional paradigm of the Industrial Economy (Capron & Hulland, 1999) do not appear to be sufficient to explain the strategic decision making and the business results.…”

Taking the resource-based view-RBV-and the dynamic capability view-DCV-as an orientation, the main aim of this study is to develop the mediator role that competitive advantages play in the relations between strategic resources, dynamic capabilities and performance. The study takes place in a dynamic and changing sector: the sale of new cars in Portugal. The results show that (a) achieving competitive advantages, which are decisive for business results, depends on the available strategic resources and the generating of dynamic capabilities, (b) in dynamic and changing sectors strategic resources are essential to generate dynamic capabilities, (c) firms must center their attention on, more than results, the generating of sustainable competitive advantages as these act as a mediator variable of the effect of strategic resources and dynamic capabilities on performance. The data scrutiny uses structural equation modeling (SEM) through PLS as the statistical instrument. The sample comprises 89 firms which sell new cars in Portugal.
