I can't offer much on the Business/economics aspects but in terms of 5)Key Success Factors for Competitive Success there is a burgeoning service industry growing around them with business such as Auto Data Network Inc providing software and services that make huge contributions to profitability and efficiency. They operate in USA and UK see http://www.autodatanetwork.com http://www.vehicledatasystems.co.uk http://www.vcheck.co.uk |

Wouldn't it just be easier to ask your instructor, or perhaps go to the library and do the research on this industry? For example, here are a few good sources: "Motor Vehicle Parts and Accessories." Encyclopedia of Global Industries. Online Edition. Thomson Gale, 2005.(SICs: 3714) 2005 "Motor Vehicle Parts and Accessories." Encyclopedia of American Industries. Online Edition. Gale, 2004.(SICs: 3714) 2004 Datamonitor Industry Market Research also has a wealth of information about the domestic and international markets of the automobile parts industry. Dun & Bradstreet is a good source for industry level profitability and other key financial figures. NetAdvantage has a wealth of information on the auto and auto parts industry. In short, there is a wealth of information available in most local and university libraries, such at the one at UCF. BTW, you can use these same sources to find information on companies as well, like say... Apple. |

This looks like an academic assignment. Do you know the definition of plargism and acadmic dishonesty. I hope that you are not a student at UCF, if so you may be taking MAN 4720 this summer at a regional campus or next Spring after you return from your academic suspension. |
