Modern literature has heralded the "Era of Network Competition" in which cooperating networks and not individual firms seek to attain competitive advantages. Supply chains in the automotive industry provide a good example of such cooperative environments which are characterized by a division of labor and where almost no final product is produced and sold by just one company alone. Luis Martín Díaz shows why some companies are still reluctant to cooperate with partners in the supply chain even though it may be advantageous to them. Based on both an extensive survey within the European automotive industry and a comprehensive case study of the Audi AG corporation, he proposes solutions to this paradox and describes a prototype for the assessment of the added-value of cooperation. His evaluation of the benefits of cooperative planning is a significant contribution to the process of designing collaborative planning activities in supply chains.

The global automotive industry is currently undergoing significant changes and the companies are not only faced with opportunities, but also with new risks. Traditional automotive industry giants are fighting to maintain their market share and their profitability, and at the same time Asian automotive companies are increasing their share of the market and their profitability at high rates. Motivated by the situation in practice and by the Toyota development process, Daniel Sörensen examines the question of how much to invest in pursuing more than one design alternative in parallel within the product development process. He develops a real options model capable of modeling and valuing in monetary terms the effects of interproject correlation coefficients and volatilities in order to compute the optimal number of design alternatives to develop in parallel. Based upon economic theory, he presents five principles in order to value-maximize the product development process.

While the significance of basic software standardization is widely agreed on, many automotive companies are still not sure how to introduce it into their processes. With the appearance of AUTOSAR, many also wonder whether a solution based on established standards such as OSEK is still reasonable or if a direct move to AUTOSAR is the better solution. We present experiences with both approaches to help facilitate a choice. We suggest that the best approach is, at the very least, to implement the existing OSEK standards and that the path from OSEK to AUTOSAR is straightforward.

Nach einer leichtverständlichen Einführung in die Funktion von Stirlingmaschinen beschreibt der Autor anhand übersichtlicher Konstruktionszeichnungen den Bau eines Modell-Stirling-Motors, gefertigt aus einer Konservendose und leicht erhältlichen Modellbauteilen. Das fertige Modell liefert, mit einem Teelicht oder mit Pflanzenöl beheizt, den Strom für ein Transistorradio. Ein Leckerbissen für versierte Modellbauer: Das »verblüffende Modell«, ein Mini-Stirlingmotor aus Getränkedosen, läuft bereits mit der Wärme der menschlichen Hand! Ein Buch mit ausführlichen Bauanleitungen, Bildern und Zeichnungen für alle, die Freude am Modellbau haben und funktionstüchtige Wärmekraftmaschinen bauen
