...Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 29, Number 3—Summer 2015—Pages 3–30 Why Are There Still So Many Jobs? The History and Future of Workplace Automation† David H. Autor T here have been periodic warnings in the last two centuries that automation and new technology were going to wipe out large numbers of middle class jobs. The best-known early example is the Luddite movement of the early 19th century, in which a group of English textile artisans protested the automation of textile production by seeking to destroy some of the machines. A lesser-known but more recent example is the concern over “The Automation Jobless,” as they were called in the title of a TIME magazine story of February 24, 1961: The number of jobs lost to more efficient machines is only part of the problem. What worries many job experts more is that automation may prevent the economy from creating enough new jobs. . . . Throughout industry, the trend has been to bigger production with a smaller work force. . . . Many of the losses in factory jobs have been countered by an increase in the service industries or in office jobs. But automation is beginning to move in and eliminate office jobs too. . . . In the past, new industries hired far more people than those they put out of business. But this is not true of many of today’s new industries. . . . Today’s new industries have comparatively few jobs for the unskilled or semiskilled, just the class of workers whose jobs are being eliminated...

The concept was to allow car rentals by the hour, with arranged pick-up and drop-off times located in neighborhoods allowing customers to simply walk to the vehicle without the need to wait in line. Danielson and Chase were concerned about the environment and this was their solution to vehicle overcrowding. Additionally, they feel their service helps to alleviate the headaches associated with owning a car, and gives people the option of having a second car or a bigger car, if it suits their needs, without having to buy. Zipcar is backed by a proprietary IT platform which allowed...

...customer satisfaction is a key driver of performance, making its measurement and management crucial. Most studies on customer satisfaction take an aggregate standpoint and do not consider segment-specific differences in attribute importance. In this article, the authors report on customer satisfaction with ambal auto (p) Ltd. They hypothesize that personal, situational, and product factors moderate the relationship between attribute performance and overall satisfaction. The “service-dominant logic” focuses on the firm and the customer co creating value, as defined by the customer. Achieving this orientation requires firms to understand which components of the service concept are most important to different subsets of customers. However, research on the relative importance to customers of core and peripheral service components has produced mixed results. The results show that these factors indeed influence Attribute—Performance—Satisfaction Relationship The present study investigates this relationship for salespeople in a business he theoretical justification for a positive impact of salespeople’s job satisfaction on customer satisfaction is based on the concept of emotional contagion. The analysis is based on a dyadic data set that involves judgments provided by salespeople and their customers collected across multiple manufacturing and services industries. Results indicate the presence of a positive relationship between salespeople’s job satisfaction and customer satisfaction...

...1093/cjres/rsq009 Advance Access publication 1 April 2010 The Tata Nano, the global ‘value’ segment and the implications for the traditional automotive industry regions Peter Wells Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University, Aberconway Building, Colum Drive CF10 3EU, UK, wellspe@cardiff.ac.uk Received on June 30, 2009; accepted on March 4, 2010 Downloaded from cjres.oxfordjournals.org at East China Normal University on May 24, 2011 This paper provides a case study of the Tata Nano, a low-price car designed primarily in and for the Indian market, and its implications for the developed industrial markets. While the Nano is a classic ‘disruptive’ innovation in an Indian context, this paper argues that the car and its emulators have the potential to undermine the viability of the European automotive industry whose business is premised on technological sophistication, premium branding and high price. In an era of greater austerity, the ‘value for money’ segment is the one with global growth potential in emergent markets as well. The paper concludes that policy makers in Europe will need to decide how to react to the rather different vision of automobility offered by the Nano. Keywords: Tata Nano, automotive industry, strategy, regional development, economic policy, price competition JEL Classifications: F01, L11, L52, L62 Introduction In March 2009, the Indian company Tata launched the long-awaited Nano model, intended to provide a low-cost entry to automobility as an alternative...

...ESTABLISHING THE ROLE OF THE PHILIPPINE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN THE EAST ASIAN PRODUCTION NETWORK: IDENTIFYING INDUSTRIAL ADJUSTMENT POLICIES THAT WILL FURTHER ENHANCE PARTICIPATION IN THE NETWORK AND RESPONDING TO THE CHALLENGES POSED BY CHINA’S EMERGING AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY1 Roberto B. Raymundo I. INTRODUCTION A. Integrating the Local Automotive Sector within the International Production Network One of the major industries that had successfully adopted both the regional as well as the global approach towards locating its production facilities and exploiting locational advantages is the automotive industry which has been predominantly driven by multinational corporations (MNCs) originating from the United States, Japan and Germany. The expansion of the production activities of these MNCs, particularly those originating from Japan, into the economies of East Asia over the past two decades have been primarily responsible for the creation of international production networks which continue to influence the extent of industrial development in the region. The international production networks in the automotive sector have made substantial contributions to East Asian economies in the form of foreign direct investments (FDI) to the host countries, creating new jobs and increasing production, establishing linkages by integrating local firms into their supply network and raising the level ...
