"From our point of view, the book provides a very interesting assessment of the current and future development of the competitive situation in the global automotive industry. It particularly makes clear that the Western sales markets can only return to a growth course by means of technical innovations and the further development of the product "automobile". This means that innovations to secure and extend individual manufacturers` market positions are absolutely necessary as part of the constantly intensifying elimination of competition in the automotive industry." Prof. Dr.-Ing., Henning Wallentowitz, Director, Institut für Kraftfahrwesen, Aachen, Germany "A book extremely worth reading for all those interested in the future of the global automotive industry - manufacturers, suppliers, the retail and service sectors, etc. It is particularly valuable because it is the first study to analyze the development of the industry from a global perspective and to give a blunt but realistic prognosis of the consequences of the coming intensified competition among the remaining 12 manufacturers ... For Bosch, it is particularly important that securing competitiveness in Germany, as a production location, requires all those involved to rethink in the long term. The competition with low-cost countries leaves us no choice!" Dr. Adolf Ahnefeld, Executive Director, Corporate Development, Robert Bosch GmbH, Stuttgart, Germany "This book is extremely worth reading. Firstly, because the competitive situation is presented from a global perspective for the first fime, rather than from the point of view of a single country or company. Secondly, it is the first attempt to evaluate the individual manufacturers` chances for the future in a cross-comparison. And finally, it is written by an "old-school economist" who has experienced the industry`s heyday as well as the emerging predatory competition of the last three decades at first hand, as an insider. The book provides valuable information in an understandable style and entertaining form, but also makes clear statements on the tough consequences of global competition for the automotive manufacturers and the supply industry. Recommended reading for everyone in risk and asset management in the financial industry." Dr. Kurt Demmer, Chief Economist, Industriekreditbank (IHK), Düsseldorf, Germany.

The automotive industry ranks among the most significant business phenomena of the 20th century and remains vitally important today, accounting for almost 11% of the GDP of North America, Europe and Japan and one in nine jobs. In economic and social terms alike, its products have had a fundamental impact on modern society - for better and worse. Yet the industry has found it hard to adjust to recent challenges and is no longer much valued by the capital markets. It is riven with internal contradictions that inhibit reform, and faces a stark choice between years of strife or radical change. This book is a wake-up call for those who work in the automotive business. It highlights the challenges and opportunities that exist for managers, legislators, financial institutions and potential industry entrants. Most of all, it gives us all cause to reflect on the value of our mobility, today and tomorrow.

The costs of developing a new drug have reached record levels in the pharmaceutical industry. As any failure of a new drug candidate can lead to significant losses, many pharmaceutical companies are looking for new approaches to reduce their exposure to R&D risks. In this context, the book deals with the topic of out-licensing as a novel form of risk-sharing collaborations. The phenomenon of out-licensing is illustrated by three major case studies of Novartis, Schering and Roche as well as several smaller case studies. In addition, the Noble Prize awarded economic theory of Adverse Selection is applied to analyze the topic theoretically. The gained insights allow identifying the critical parameters of out-licensing collaborations and thereby provide R&D managers with recommendations on how to conclude and manage this type of deals more effectively.

Around the concept of a spark spread, the value differential between the price of one unit of power and the price of the natural gas volume required to produce that unit, the objective of this case study is to provide tools to assess the value of power generation units. The book describes some aspects of the gas and power markets in Europe, points out and explains the relevant academic literature on asset valuation and explores a pricing model which can be used to value spark spread options, i.e. generation units. The model is calibrated according to the physical reality of gas-fired plants as well as prevailing market conditions, leading to a value for power plants at different European locations.
