据不完全统计，2024年，对外宣布人事变动的车企超过50家，超过180个高层岗位被调整，涉及高管170 余人，影响范围覆盖传统车企、合资公司及造车新势力。比如上汽集团，经历了近十年最大人事变动， 王晓秋接任董事长，贾健旭任总裁。 汽车行业的高管们，职业焦虑感远超其他行业。 咨询公司艾睿铂（AlixPartners）的最新调研揭示，全球汽车行业正面临剧烈的转型阵痛，而身处其中 的高管们，职业焦虑感远超其他行业。 艾睿铂汽车和工业实践全球联席负责人Dan Hearsch日前在接受采访时透露，超过40%的汽车行业高管 担心失业，这一比例远超艾睿铂所调查行业的平均水平（28%）。对比行业涵盖了零售、媒体娱乐、金 融服务、电信、能源、科技及消费品等。 这一焦虑情绪的背后，是汽车行业持续承压的严峻现实。根据艾睿铂发布的《2026艾睿铂颠覆指数》 （调研覆盖11个国家、3200名CEO及高管），汽车行业已经连续两年成为受冲击与变革最剧烈的行业。 尽管其行业颠覆指数从去年回落至74分，但增长乏力、竞争白热化以及成本居高不下，共同颠覆了全球 汽车业务的既有格局。 这从招聘计划的不确定性中也可见一斑：超半数受访高管预计今年将增加 ...
