Abstract

Delocalization is a relatively new term that defines a very old technique of reducing production costs, when you are a Transnational Corporation. Unfortunately this shift across the global economy has some negative effects for the home countries, which will resume basically to social effects. In the automotive industry, one of the most competitive economic sectors, this type of procedure has helped a lot of manufacturers to overcome the present economic crisis, but for others it meant some major losses due to a lower level of quality
