摘要：金融危机席卷全球，汽车工业首当其冲。通用汽车濒临破产，丰田等汽车巨头也举步维艰，成长中的中国汽车产业也遭受了重创。比亚迪，一个在金融危机中依然焕发朝气的中国汽车品牌。本文通过比亚迪为例，研究其成功之道。比亚迪通过自主研发的设备和大量参与生产的工人取代了昂贵的国外生产线，有效地解决了国内同行成本控制难的问题；还通过自主设计、依托集团原有高新技术推动汽车产业升级等做法实现了技术创新。比亚迪还利用自身优势在金融危机下抢占了电动车的先机，为其以后的发展打下了坚实的基础。对于如何通过改进自身存在的问题以增强竞争力，如何在技术和成本上控制得当来度过汽车业的“寒冬”，比亚迪的成功无疑是为深陷金融危机的汽车厂商提供了生存之道的启示。
