“…Leading large enterprises have exercised strong governance in their global value chains and have influenced this current of offshoring (Sturgeon, Van Biesebroeck, & Gereffi, 2008;Sturgeon & Van Biesebroeck, 2010;. In this direction, particular attention has been paid in the academic literature to the situation and context in emerging countries (Evren & Sakarya, 2017;Taura & Watkins, 2014;.…”

Research Question: This article clarifies the role of clusters in industry agglomeration efficiency as well as the role that public and private agents play in their efficiency. Motivation: The automobile industry in Spain is an exception to the industrial decline suffered by the secondary sector since the economic crisis exploded in Spain. Employment in the vehicle manufacturing industry has recovered significantly in Spain in 2017, with a significant growth bringing it closer to 2008 levels. The sector accounts for 8.6 % of the country's GNP. How can we explain this success? Are there new threats (technology, environmental standards, emerging economies, etc.) menacing the sector? Based on value chain and cluster theories we explain its success and how new threats could be managed? The response lays in analyzing the role of cluster agents in the various clusters dynamics. The research shows how the openness of clusters plays a crucial role in their sustainability. Idea: Based on value chain and cluster theories we explain their success and how new threats could be managed? The response lays in analyzing the role of cluster agents in the various clusters dynamics. The research shows how the openness of clusters plays a crucial role in their sustainability. Data: primary data was collected in two surveys and interviews campaigns during 2013 and 2017. Furthermore, secondary data from national, regional and sectoral sources were analysed. Tools: The research is based on a series of interviews and visits to the automotive clusters in Spain. Additionally, the authors have analyzed abundant secondary information and web contents available on the clusters agents: manufacturers, suppliers, unions, associations, etc. Findings: The paper concludes that regional and national policies are relevant but that consensus between clusters’ agents is essential for their success. However, will the existing agents be able to withstand new threats? .Contribution: The article contributes to clusters literature and the clusters’ role of the agents in the global value chain context. It also sheds light on public policies to support automotive industries. Limitations are linked to resource limitations.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the automotive industry which is regarded as a best practice considering its supply chain has experienced new threats which render its supply chain vulnerable. For instance, the many lockdowns, associated with collapsing of global distribution channels sunk vehicle sales dramatically. The purpose of this study is to identify capabilities to strengthen the resilience of automotive supply chains to pandemics. By using the supply chain resilience framework developed by Sytch et al. [4] we analyze the resilience of the automotive supply chain with evidence from the literature to a pandemic crisis with vulnerability factors similar to those of COVID-19.We do find evidence that seven out of ten capabilities we looked for are present in the automotive supply chain. Capabilities to improve are i.e., multiple sources for tier 1 suppliers, improving risk pooling/sharing, and defining means of production postponement.With the evidence on resilience factors for pandemics, we provide managers with a set of factors to focus on in pandemics. Thus, our study helps managers to better prepare their supply chain to resist global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. We used a methodology that can be applied with more secondary and also primary sources and therefore is interesting for researchers.
