The changing role of logistics in automobile manufacturing may be leading to the blurring of the traditional difference between design and manufacturing activities. This paper examines how the advent of integrated logistics supply chain may influence organizational learning in automobile manufacturing firms. The focus is on collaboration, information sharing, cooperation, and technology transfer especially between developed country sources and their partners or subsidiaries in developing countries where local content policy imposes specific requirements. This paper reports on an ongoing study on organizational learning within automobile manufacturng firms in Nigeria.
