Abstract

The period under study covers a phase in the Volkswagen (VW) trajectory marked by a particularly close succession of growth and crises, high-flying plans and bitter disappointments. At the end of the period, the VW Group was acquired by the family-owned niche carmaker Porsche. Our account describes the factors and processes which made this shift possible. The shift could have far-reaching effects on the productive model that had determined the company trajectory of VW for more than half a century.
