Abstract

The goal of this empirical study is to identify how top performers of the automotive supply industry can be distinguished from followers. The complete branch still believes that market position and productivity are of utmost importance. However, a deeper analysis shows that top performers distinguish themselves from followers mainly in two key success factors – flexibility and the ability to manage knowledge flows so that innovation can prosper. A strong positive correlation between knowledge management and innovation has also been discovered.
