Abstract
The paper focuses on the long- lasting initiatives aimed at the restructuring of German industries and their adjustment to the new highly competitive globalized environment. The automotive industry has been used on various occasions for the development of economic, social and industrial strategies. The paper focuses in particular on the Volkswagen “AUTO 5000” programme and the empirical data collected by SOFI. “AUTO 5000” constitutes a best practice example, providing a win-win solution for both employers and employees. The paper claims that this productive-industrial restructuring was combined with an innovative employment policy which ultimately improves workers’ position within the new capitalist production system.
