Abstract

?This article focuses on the role of the internationalization strategies of global automobile manufacturers in the governance of global value chains and on their impacts on the economic and social upgrading of emerging countries. Based on the analysis of the sixteen main global automobile manufacturers between 2000 and 2014, it identifies and characterizes two opposed models of internationalization: the global-centralized model, where the internationalization process is pushed by global platforms and standards conceived and controlled by centralized engineering; and the multi-domestic-decentralized model, where the internationalization processes is propelled by the greater autonomy given to international subsidiaries in the design and production of low-cost vehicles for emerging markets. The article shows that while the centralized global strategy remains dominant today, the successful deployment of the multi-domestic-decentralized strategy creates better opportunities for functional and social upgrading in emerging countries. ? ?JEL classification? ?:? ? F23, J81, L2, L62, O3.?
