Abstract

Changes in the dynamics of economic activities since the last decades of the 20th century have yielded major changes in the composition of industries and the division of labor and production across different regions of the world. Despite these shifts in the global economy, some industries have remained competitive even without relocating their operations overseas. Industries and Global Competition examines how and why the specificities of certain industries and firms determined their choice of location and competitiveness. This volume identifies the major drivers of this process and explains why some firms and industries moved to other parts of world while others did not. Relocation was not the sole determinant of the success or failure of firms and industries. Indeed some were able to reinvent themselves at their original location and build new competitive advantages. The path that each industry or firm took varied. This book argues that the specific characteristics of each industry defined the conditions of competitiveness and provide a wide range of cases as illustrations. Aimed at scholars, researchers and academics in the fields of business history, international business and related disciplines Industries and Global Competition examines the unique questions; How and why did the specificities of certain industries and firms determine their choice of location and competitiveness?

Abstract

In the canton of Vaud (Switzerland), hospitals were originally created within a local philanthropic framework which aimed as much at healing as at controlling the working classes. The practice of medicine was still not very effective, and the generosity of a few well-known people was enough at that time to ensure the viability of small infirmaries, run by deaconesses with just one or two doctors working part-time. Towards the end of the 19th century progress in medicine, particularly in surgery, and the beginning of a greatly improved technical environment following the introduction of X-rays, threatened the operation of these infirmaries. It became necessary to build new hospitals, to engage trained personnel in large numbers, to professionalize the management and to re-examine the organisation of these larger and more complex hospitals in order to meet the increasing demand for hospital treatment. This change of scale put an intolerable strain on the philanthropic framework and eventually led to the increasing intervention of public authorities. In the canton of Vaud after 1945 there was a widespread network of regional hospitals, which were heavily dependent on government funding. From being the principal supporter of a hospital network which had arisen from locally-based groups of infirmaries, the state intervened at the end of the 1970s with the aim of rationalizing the system.
