The United States recession (which lead to a world recession), began in 1997 and significantly impacted the United States automobile industry during the recession period. The United States automobile industry is still reeling from the effects of the recession throughout the period of economic recovery that continues today. According to Chu and Su, “In this credit-driven recession, one of the hardest hit sectors was the automotive industry, along with the housing and financial markets. Chrysler and General Motors were pushed into bankruptcy; and 276,000 jobs in the automobile and parts industry were destroyed, a whopping 36 percent of the total employment in the sector”.

And while the traditional barriers such as technology and capitol or managing and marketing skills limit competition and new entries. New potential threats to the Detroit big three’s market share loom in never before realized corners of the world like India and even China. In both nations right now domestic auto production is growing at a rapid annual rate and demand continues to be high for automobiles. In fact the increasing demand has sparked industrial development; provided job; and improved the infrastructure where the autos are manufactured (Kearney 2013). This push toward growing industries in India and China which produce practical and affordable compact cars will not limit sales only to those local regions. Instead, over time these new manufacturing centers will be exporting their products throughout the entire world. At which time the big three from Detroit will face stiffer completion in three geo-realms, first there in India and China, next throughout the developing Asian market and possibly world market and finally here at home in America potentially. Yes, soon not only will you see tiny Fiat
A vehicle is one of the biggest purchases a person will ever make. Over the years, the prices of an automobile have increased due to the rise of inflation. Due to a price index, the price of an automobile changes over a certain period of time. Economists compare averages of automobiles to calculate the cost of each vehicle that presents itself on a car lot. When all of the above is calculated within the purchase of an automobile, it affects every area of making the automobile to selling the automobile. All of these factors are impacted together for the automobile industry as a whole.

In the auto mobile sector, General Motors and Toyota are the two biggest player that rank in the world ranking of manufacturers (OICA, 2010).

The brakes of the vehicles are defect because it is unable to break when the pedal is press; besides that, another problem arises when the model vehicles that is equipped with keyless ignition cannot turn off their ignition even when the ignition buttons only requires 3 second to stop the engine due to the poor instruction manual that is not posted on a place that is visible to the driver in times of crisis (Ross et al., 2015). The issues with the brakes shows that Toyota is doing a irresponsible business by acting it out unethically such as putting their sales level over the customers safety which is similar to the General
Entry into the car manufacturing industry involves overcoming high barriers; car manufacturing is a highly capital-intensive market, thus forcing new entrants to acquire large sums of capital simply to enter. This capital goes into purchasing a manufacturing plant, sophisticated equipment, raw materials and supplies, and the development of extensive supply chains. Additionally, they must invest in research and development. In economic terms, this last item is deemed a sunk cost because the firm must undergo the research and development/engineering expense prior to even selling a vehicle. Other significant sunk costs come in the form of marketing campaigns. On the other hand, technological innovations through research and development allow for automotive firms to lower costs and achieve economies of scale. In addition to requiring large amounts of capital to enter the car manufacturing industry, entrants must comply to government regulations regarding environment and safety standards, including fuel efficiency. Customers are also often loyal to established brands, and therefore it is vital newcomers establish brand
