    Full text link
    Este artículo estudia las dos primeras décadas de actividad industrial en España de la empresa francesa de automóviles Renault. El trabajo se inicia con un examen del proceso de negociaciones que desembocó en la concesión de la primera licencia de fabricación y en la constitución de la sociedad española concesionaria (FASA), cuyo capital fue enteramente suscrito por accionistas españoles. Durante sus primeros doce años de vida industrial, FASA creció a un ritmo sostenido, pero adoleció de importantes problemas de calidad y organización. Su verdadera expansión fue pareja al control de la sociedad matriz francesa, efectivo desde 1964. El artículo finaliza con la exposición de algunos de los factores explicativos del éxito de Renault en España, entre ellos la adaptación a los condicionantes del mercado local, la concesión de ciertos márgenes de gestión autónoma y la flexibilidad en materia de exportación.This article analyses the industrial activity of the French automobile company Renault during its first two decades in Spain. A first section examines the negotiations which concluded in the concession of the Spanish license and the establishment of a Spanish licensee society (FASA). A second part analyses the early years of FASA, in which it experienced a sustained growth overshadowed by product quality and management problems. We show how FASA’s main phase of expansion coincided with the French head office’s control, effective from 1964 on. The last part of the article summarizes some of the factors contributing to the success of Renault in Spain: such as adapting to local market conditions, establishing a certain degree of freedom in management and a more flexible export policy.Publicad

    This paper analyses the trajectory of the Spanish automobile firm FASA-Renault during the 1970s. This period comprises the early years of the crisis experienced by the Spanish economy and industry between 1974 and 1985. At the external level, the Spanish economy was affected by two oil shocks. At an internal level, the automobile industry was affected by a decree passed by the government: the so-called Ford decree of 1972, which allowed the establishment of the American company in Spain and had serious consequences for SEAT, the main Spanish producer. The production of SEAT suffered a one third reduction between 1972 and 1980 and, in addition, the financial situation of the firm was unsustainable. Conversely, during this stage FASARenault became the main Spanish production (its outpout was multiplied by 3,5 during the 1970s) and sales leader in Spain (its sales as percentage of total Spanish market sales increased from 23 to 36%). The main aim of this paper is to analyse the trajectory of success of FASA-Renault in Spain durig the 1970s.development, industrial policy, fasa-renault, spain, automobile

    [cat] Aquest treball analitza la trajectòria de l’empresa FASA-Renault durant la dècada dels setanta del segle XX. Aquest període compren els primers anys de la crisis experimentada per l’economia i la industria espanyola entre 1974 y 1985. A nivell extern, l’economia espanyola es va veure afectada per dos xocs en el preu del petroli. A nivell intern, la industria de l’automòbil es va veure afectat per un decret governamental: es tractava de l’anomenat decret “Ford”, aprovat l’any 1972, el qual facilitava l’establiment de Ford a Espanya. Aquest decret va tenir greus conseqüències per a SEAT, el principal productor espanyol. Entre 1972 y 1980 la producció de SEAT es va reduir en una tercera part i la seva situació financera va esdevenir insostenible. Per contra, en aquest període FASA-Renault va esdevenir el principal productor ubicat a Espanya (la seva producció es va multiplicar per 3,5 durant els anys setanta) i en líder de ventes en el mercat espanyol (la seva penetració es va incrementar del 23 al 36%). El principal objectiu del treball es analitzar els factor que expliquen l’èxit de FASARenault durant els anys setanta.[eng] This paper analyses the trajectory of the Spanish automobile firm FASA-Renault during the 1970s.
