France's two big carmakers illustrate the point. PSA Peugeot Citroen, the younger of the two, has tried over time to find cheaper places than around Paris to make its cars; in the 1950s and 60s Citroen opened a factory in Brittany and started manufacturing in Spain and Portugal, the China and Vietnam of their time for offshoring. Nowadays it makes cars cheaply in Slovakia and in the Czech Republic. But two-fifths of its global production is still in France, where it has seven expensive factories. One reason is that the company is family-owned, and families tend to be particularly loyal to their countries of origin. Renault, on the other hand, has determinedly pursued a low-cost strategy, setting up factories in Morocco, Slovenia, Turkey and Romania, and now makes only a quarter of its cars at home. Unsurprisingly, it is Peugeot that is now in dire financial straits. Last autumn, amidst a fierce political storm, the company announced plans to stop car production at one of its biggest French factories, at Aulnay-sous-Bois, just outside Paris. But that may be too little, too late. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
