CAR INDUSTRY Sales of big ticket items, in particular the autos, declined strongly during the current recession and the market share of the domestic auto manufacturers went down over years. The cash-for-clunkers program in 2009 was implemented to help the domestic production of cars. The following questions could be used as guidelines for your research paper:
The cash-for-clunkers program: objectives and results. Did the car companies ripped the benefits of the program?
The competition between the Big 3 and the Asian car manufacturers (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai). Is improving fuel efficiency, car design and customer service key to winning more of the domestic market for the Big 3?
Toyota?s recent recalls and its effect on the market share and brand image. Who are the winners and losers as a result of Toyota?s recalls?
