The Australian Automotive industry has a significant volume to make car from scratch and manufacture. The ford company was the first Australian carmaker in 1948.The Australian automotive manufacturing industry has become one of the majors’ scenarios in Australia. When the government came up with the welfare assistances, they had to review or assess the assistance required. For instant, economic, social and environmental assistances. The government and business owners worked hand in hand. At this moment. There are some issues affecting the welfare of Australians. The government already has policies to assist companies that are experiencing financial crisis. With regard this, having explained an overview of this topic, the question is whether the government should provide money to the car manufacturers or not. This essay will mainly focus on economic, social and environmental issues facing Australian community as a whole. The local market competition, the economy became weak, As a result of money fluctuation in the market. In regardless of Spill over benefit to the manufacturers industries, the expenses may exceed cost of the subsidies .therefore; it will be difficult for the company to pay back the public funds. As a consequence, some areas will experience difficulty in employment and economic activities. In fact, the adjustment programme to assist the disadvantage community will be maintained and the government debt for misusing money will be decreased (The Productivity Commission, 2014) recommended that the policy rationales for specific assistance to automotive manufacturing are weak. However, the community would benefit from the ending of assistance to automotive manufacturing through the Automotive Transformation Scheme (ATS... ... middle of paper ... ... Pearson, Sydney, NSW.

Since fuel is regarded as a necessity, the increase of fuel prices would have a certain impact on the Australian economy. This will have an effect on a variety of economic aspects which include; demand and supply, elasticity, market equilibrium and disposable income. The goal of this analysis is to discuss the effect that the rise in petrol, holding all things constant (Ceteris Paribus), will have on the Australian economy.
Executive compensation has been studied for many years. While the average person probably does not think about it on a daily basis, it is necessary to watch trends. Tracking the amount of money they make as well as the bonuses, stock options, and other benefits shows how these executives are making such high rates of pay compared to the ordinary worker. Tracking how much an executive makes began in the 1930’s. Since this time not only has it been tracked but there have been many changes in the type of tracking, the tax laws and what is available as compensation. This paper highlights the changes that have occurred since the early 20th century until today and changes that still need to occur.

In the latter part of 2008, the United States’ economy was rapidly plummeting - the stock market crashed, the housing bubble burst and gas prices skyrocketed. The majority of U.S. based firms faced the reality that they would not be able to survive during such desperate economic times. The U.S. automobile industry, in particular, began to buckle under the depressed economy. The government stepped in proposing a multi-billion dollar bailout to stimulate the economy and restore economic balance. The possibility of this unprecedented government intervention was condemned by many economists. If the government helped the ailing automotive industry, this industry would have to tighten their expenditures and plan for the future to prove to critics of the bailout that they would use the government funding to add value to the economy once again.
This paper will focus on the future of the U.S. Automobile industry as the United States recovers from the worst recession we have experienced in the past 75 years. I will provide information on the following topics pertaining to the U.S. automobile industry:
A series of droughts in southern mid-western states like Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas led to failed harvests and dried-up land. Farmers was forced to move off their land: they couldn’t repay the bank-loans which had helped buy the farms and had to sell what they owned to pay their debts.(Citation?)
The following is a report on Australian drought situation. It will identity the definition of the drought, describe the causes of drought, represent impact of drought in Queensland and introduce management to help farmers cope with future drought occurrences.
As the economic integration of Europe continues, it is likely that increasing international competition will affect firms in European industries. As other countries expand and have more trade worldwide, the more the European economy will be affected. The economy will tend to buy from outside of Europe due to taste and lower prices. There would be more firms to choose from decreasing Economies of scale are significant because motor vehicle manufacturing is an industry based on growth. Since the automotive industry being discussed is in Italy, it is based primarily around one company, Fiat. The majority of sales of automobiles in Italy are acquired by Fiat. The automotive industry constitutes a substantial part in the European economy because this industry makes up 10 percent of total manufacturing output.
The large-scale multinational financial giants are probably represented by the renowned investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, UBS, D...
The American auto industry is in a crisis, their vehicles are not in demand and they need government bailouts to keep their businesses afloat. American vehicles are not on demand because people want fuel-efficient, the car companies that are not at the point of bankruptcy, longer lasting vehicles, and hybrid cars. The American car companies are at a point of bankruptcy and people don’t want to buy cars from a company that may not be there in a couple of months. The foreign car companies are doing well and they much more dependable now that we are in an economic crisis. American cars are not fuel-efficient, not as long lasting, and don’t make many hybrids, so this affects their business negatively. I got some ideas that will make American car companies be on top of the industry again.
The automotive industry is one of the most important sectors of the economy for every country in the world. It involves a large number of corporations and institutions engaged in the manufacturing process of motor vehicles including designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling. It contributes to the global economic growth by generating a significant return and creating a ripple effect on supporting the supply chain as well as providing job opportunities for the skilled workers (ACEA, 2016).
By investing 25 million EUR in technology, the firm managed to reduce CO2 emissions by 20%. (Turi et al 2015) Van Tuijl (2013) examined in his work “Car making and upgrading: Renault in Romania” the importance and influence of the foreign car producer contribution in upgrading. I used this article in order to provide a more detailed overview of the current Renault-Dacia manufacturer and the integration process of Renault in the local industry. The Western European markets were getting saturated, but in the emerging countries, there was a rising demand for cars.
The car manufacturing industry is an important pillar of the world economy affecting daily lives of people globally in many ways i.e. by creating job opportunity, introducing advanced technology and improving country’s economy. Likewise the car manufacturing industry in Australia plays very important role in Australia’s economy as well as is an important source of employment, employing thousands of employees. Automotive company like General motors Holden has helped Australia globally recognized as a major car manufacturer and created huge employment opportunity. But in the last few years, Holden suffered losses due to strong Australian dollar which directed declining sales of large cars in Australia. Also government fund being reduced this has led the company to look to international markets to increase profitability. Holden announced on 11 December 2013 that production in Australia would cease by the end of 2017 (Put Reference).

Using tax avoidance is a simple way for big companies to increase their profits. More importantly, more investors of the company can be attracted by the good looking financial performance as a result of using tax avoidance scheme. There are schemes where shareholders invest in certain funds used for improving British film productions and alternative energy projects and they can be beneficial to receive more tax relief. In this way, tax avoidance actually increases the investment opportunities for the corporations, which also helps the development of the business.
