Time for a Model Change Hardback: Re-engineering the Global Automotive Industry - Hardcover

'... a stimulating and thought-provoking read, especially for an industry insider.' John McCormack, Vice-President European Aftermarket, Federal-Mogul

'A timely and important book. The authors have produced both a powerful diagnosis and an imaginative blueprint for reform. The industry and everyone who depends on it would do well to take notice.' Sir Geoffrey Owen, Senior Fellow at the Institute of Management at the London School of Economics and former editor of the Financial Times

'Wormald and Maxton provide an iconoclastic analysis of the industry that is provocative, timely, and well-researched. The warnings they give to the leaders of this industry and the politicians seeking to regulate it need to be taken seriously.' Lee Branstetter, Associate Professor of Business, Columbia Business School, New York

'The authors have set out to persuade the industry that it needs to change its structure and stop making so many models. They raise important questions for motor executives and offer a mass of evidence in support of their case.' Financial Times
