WHAT IS MADE IN GERMANY REALLY WORTH_LOVE ALUDOLove Aludo
Thinking business growth? Sustainable Development, or value for your money? Ever heard of Industry 4.0? What is their Management Style in Germany? Who are the Hidden Champions? German products are generally known for high quality, excellence, especially engineering precision, and with the increasing climate challenges, Germany is fast meeting milestones on its renewable and clean energy road map for the environment. But what goes into a German product? And what can your country or business learn from the German stereotype?
Germany has a population of 82.5 million and is Europe's largest economy. It has a social market economy and high-quality manufacturing sector. German business culture values punctuality, formality, hierarchy, and building relationships based on mutual advantage and task focus over personal connections. Decision-making follows a long and detailed process.
BDI - The Federation of German Industries (English Presentation)BDI
The Federation of German Industries (BDI) is an association of associations. As stipulated in the BDI’s statutes, membership is confined to “industrial sector associations and working groups acting as umbrella organizations to represent entire industrial groups within the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany”.
This document summarizes a research paper that develops an economic model to explore the causes and consequences of criminal predation in developing economies. The model shows how an economy can get trapped in a "Predators' Club" characterized by poverty and high levels of predation that undermine productive entrepreneurship. However, the model also shows that economies with a high flow of new entrepreneurs may be able to grow out of this trap by joining the "Producers' Club" of rich economies. The key mechanisms in the model involve entrepreneurs endogenously choosing to enter either predatory or productive activities, and how this choice is influenced by the level of economic development.
The Hidden Champions - Joint Project (Paper) - MBAMargaret D.
The document summarizes a paper about Germany's "hidden champions" and the Mittelstand business model that has contributed to Germany's economic success. It provides Germany's economic history from the Great Depression through the Great Recession. It shows that Germany had lower unemployment than other major economies during the recession due to short-time work programs. While GDP declined in 2008-2009, unemployment remained stable. Charts show Germany had a large trade surplus and faster GDP growth than European neighbors after the recession. The success is attributed to small and medium Mittelstand companies focused on exports.

Ernst & Young's 2013 European attractiveness survey analyzes both the real and perceived attractiveness of Europe for foreign investment. While Europe secured 3,797 FDI projects in 2012, creating 170,434 jobs, its share of global FDI fell to 22.4% due to the prolonged Eurozone crisis impacting investor confidence. The UK and Germany remained the top destinations in Europe, capturing the most FDI projects, while Central and Eastern Europe attracted over 50% of new FDI jobs. Looking ahead, investors expect Europe's appeal to improve over the next three years if issues like economic stability, R&D and innovation, and common economic governance are addressed.
Spain-Bangladesh international trade for small and medium enterprises: Explor...Samsul Alam
This document discusses potential opportunities for international trade between small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Spain and Bangladesh. It first provides background on the economies of Spain and Bangladesh. Spain has been recovering from an economic recession while Bangladesh aims to become a developed country by 2041. The document then reviews literature showing SMEs play an important role in both countries' economies. It analyzes potential Spanish exports to Bangladesh, such as automobiles and machinery, and Bangladeshi exports to Spain, including garments, labor, and leather. The study finds opportunities for bilateral trade between SMEs that could benefit both countries' economic development.
The document discusses business development opportunities in Germany, focusing on the Hannover region. It outlines Hannover's key industries like automotive, aerospace, and life sciences.

It introduces the economic development agency hannoverimpuls, which provides services to attract investment and support business growth through initiatives like Plug & Work that offers free office space for startups.
The economy of Italy is 7th largest in the world; adjusted for purchasing power parity, 10th. The country is as rich in technology and entrepreneurship as it is in history and culture.
Yet despite its profile of quality and innovation, Italy has grown slowly during the past decade – slower, indeed, than Germany, France or the UK.
And its competitiveness – its unit labor costs – has slipped, as wages rose but productivity stagnated. As a consequence, Italian firms and Italian savers chose attractive opportunities elsewhere, and net direct investment turned outward. Italy’s investment reputation, however, is far worse than the reality.
To mitigate these problems, the government of Italy must make changes in national policy. The regulatory and institutional factors that damage productivity must change. Real wages must stop growing, at least for a time, until productivity accelerates. And fiscal policy – the relationship between spending and revenues – must change, so that deficits decline, eventually along with debt and debt service.
The remainder of this paper examines Italy’s macroeconomic environment and the structural problems that inhibit competitiveness; the microeconomic structure of Italy, together with its strengths in R&D, informational technology, design and engineering; the recent record of inbound foreign investment, and the exports associated with it; and finally, a series of recommendations for the government and a forecast of prospects for growth.

This document summarizes a study on the internationalization of business investments in research and development (R&D) in Europe. Some key findings are:
1) R&D internationalization is highest in small EU countries, with over 50% of R&D spending coming from foreign-owned firms in countries like Austria, Belgium, and Ireland. Large countries like Germany and the UK have around 25% of R&D spending from foreign-owned firms.
2) Around half of all R&D spending by foreign-owned firms in the EU can be assigned to firms from other EU member states, showing strong intra-EU integration. The US is also an important investor in the EU.

The document summarizes key findings from a study on the global telecom and technology industry outlook. It finds that:
1) Industry revenue growth has cooled dramatically to just 2% annually compared to a previous 10% rate, with several major sectors seeing revenue declines.
2) Profit margins have been squeezed across the industry as well, with declines in operating income margins of around 50% in consumer electronics and 30% in semiconductors.
3) The industry has underperformed broad market indices in terms of shareholder returns, growing only 5% compared to 16% for the S&P 500 over the past year. The winner-takes-all environment requires significant actions from companies.
