Resumo(s)

The automotive industry is currently experiencing the biggest transformation in its history. Pressure from technological disruption, the emergence of new competitors and changing consumer demands require established OEMs to revise and innovate their business models. This work project takes four deep dives to investigate automotive innovation from an external and internal perspective in the context of German premium OEMs. Firstly, through collecting primary data on consumer preferences, it discloses major trends in their changing demands and emphasizes its driving force on the innovation process. As a further external perspective, the influence of (alternative) M&A announcements on the automotive OEM’s equity value is proposed to be examined by means of an event study to shed light on the shareholders’ evaluation of external innovation. In contrast, the third section looks at organizational innovation from the inside. By reviewing a practical case, it elaborates on the importance of organizational separation for corporate venturing to exploit existing capabilities to prepare for future challenges. Lastly, it provides a real-world example of corporate innovation by examining the case of integrating circular practices in the product lifecycle. In a critical comparison with recent literature, recommendations for such transformations are drawn. Overall, this work project provides insights into different sections of automotive OEMs and their innovation processes to defend their position as industry leaders
