The rise of this industry constitutes an important chapter in business, economic, and technological history because synthetic dyes - invented in 1857 - represent the first time that a scientific discovery quickly gave rise to a new industry. British firms led the industry for the next eight years, but German firms came to dominate the industry for decades before WWI, while American firms played only a minor role during the entire period. This study identifies differences in educational institutions and patent laws as the key reasons for German leadership in this industry. Successful firms had strong ties to the centers of organic chemistry knowledge. The book also argues that a complex coevolutionary process linking firms, technology and national institutions resulted in very different degrees of industrial success for dye firms in the three countries. 000042227 650_4 $$aBusiness & Economics$$xStrategic Planning 000042227 650_0 $$aDye industry$$zGermany$$xHistory. 000042227 650_0 $$aDye industry$$xTechnological innovations$$zGermany$$xHistory. 000042227 650_0 $$aDye industry$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory. 000042227 650_0 $$aDye industry$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000042227 650_0 $$aCompetition, International$$vCase studies. 000042227 650_0 $$aComparative advantage (International trade)$$vCase studies. 000042227 85640 $$uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/wipo/detail.action?docID=256654$$zView this Ebook 000042227 903__ $$aCambridge Studies in the Emergence of Global Enterprise. 000042227 904__ $$aBook 000042227 942__ $$2ddc$$cEBOOK 000042227 980__ $$aBIB 000042227 980__ $$aOS
