Outsourcing is currently perceived as key to automotive suppliers' survival, and is being driven by consumers in the price-pressurised global market. In the 1990's Fiat embraced the concept of outsourcing, whereby it only designs, markets and sells its vehicles, leaving the assembly to other partners in the industrial network. In contrast, Japanese carmakers such as Honda continue to believe that no other company can assemble vehicles more efficiently and profitably than they can themselves.
