Through an examination of skills development within the South African automotive industry (focusing particularly on the cases of DaimlerChrysler South Africa and BMW South Africa) the author seeks to shed further light on the broader debate on the relationship between globalisation and education and training. The study also considers the issue of corporate social responsibility as it results in education and training interventions.
