Abstract:
While the German manufacturing industry is internationally renowned
and often seen as the backbone of German economic development, in the
last years more and more problems had to be faced by it. These
problems are related with the emergence of new competitors, the
shifts of economic activity in Europe due to economic integration and
the challenge of German unification. This paper analyzes the
historical development of the German manufacturing industry. By
discussing the reasons for the rise and actual problems of German
manufacturing industry in a globalized world, conclusions for
necessary reforms can be drawn.
This paper is based on the presentation: "The German Manufacturing
Industry - Old Achievements, New Challenges." Paper presented at the
7th International Symposium of the Korea Academy of Busines
Historians, The Business History Development for the 21st Century and
