Transformation capability model for automotive suppliers
- The automotive industry's transition to electromobility, marked by the replacement of traditional combustion engines with electric drives, significantly disrupts the existing product range of many companies. This transition is especially impactful in Germany, a major automotive hub employing about 786,000 people in 2021, where it's projected that around 21 percent of these jobs could be at risk by 2030. Therefore, there is an urgent need for German automotive suppliers to adapt to the evolving electromobility landscape, further intensified by concurrent trends like digitalization, work changes and sustainability. A notable gap in the current literature is the absence of a comprehensive capability model for these suppliers to manage this transformation effectively. This research aims to close this gap by identifying the essential transformation capabilities and developing a capability model, emphasizing 30 key capabilities clustered into superordinate dimensions and structured along the fields of action of human, technology and organization, the MTO approach.
