This article analyzes the trajectory of Nissan in
order to advance the construction of a model for
analyzing the profit trend strategies of automotive
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), which have been undergoing a profound process of manufacturing de-verticalization and business model restructuring in recent decades. The basic question to be answered is to understand how processes of innovation and product diversification are defined and included within the scope of the profit strategies of automotive corporations and how this fits in with the restructuring of the automotive market. The results show that automotive multinationals do not reorganize themselves and do not use the same action strategies, and that in contexts of institutional regulation, such as the implementation phase of the Inovar-Auto program in Brazil, demonstrate the ability to adapt to local circumstances and rules.
