C. Berndt

Corporate Germany Between Globalization and Regional Place Dependence

Business Restructuring in the Ruhr Area

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Christian Berndt investigates how selected corporate actors in German small and medium-sized enterprises and in large companies respond to globalisation and the apparent crisis of the German model. By exploring the role of economic and non-economic factors in shaping business strategies he argues that, rather than simply being formal opposites, forces of dynamic change and irrational persistence are intertwined.
