Le Fonctionnement Dynamique Du Secteur Automobile Marocain entre 1990 et 2013

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to understand the dynamics and functioning of the automotive sector. The question that arises is how can we use the data from the annual survey of the Moroccan Ministry (EAE) in order to understand the reality of the production system in the automotive sector and understand what is the basis dynamics. First, we find that the available data do not take into account the essential elements for understanding the actual specificities of the sector as innovation mechanism, the mode of insertion in globalization, the dynamics of the segments, the heterogeneity of business capacity, product quality and labor employed, idiosyncratic specificities of the sector, institutions. Then, the automotive sector is internationalized and largely characterized by the existence of a small number of multinational firms. The latter, who realize the greatest performance compared to Moroccan businesses are strongly attracted by the attractive platform for foreign exporters and require cheap labor but qualified.
