Arthur Wheaton says: When I began teaching about the global automotive industry in the 1990s, it usually involved long discussions about the Detroit Big Three: GM, Ford and Chrysler.

While there were many other auto companies, those three geographic regions comprised the majority of production, sales and conversation. Thankfully today, the global auto industry has moved away from US, Japan and Western European domination.
