Second, despite the changes on the producers side, which were reflected in the consumer market through substantial price reductions, wider choice and brand proliferation, inter-country differences still remain quite consistent. The market of washing machines is a good example of such differences. Considering the two main product features of a washing machine, spin-speed and loading, European consumers still strongly differ in preferences, reflecting historical tendencies and habits and demonstrating resistance to the homogenization of consumption patterns (baden Fuller St0pford, In France, top-loading models account for roughly 70% of the market, while in the rest of Europe they are mainly considered as niche markets. Northern countries prefer higher spin-speeds, between 600 and 800 rpm, most likely expressing the need for more effective spinning cycle to reduce drying times. On the contrary, southern countries address their choices towards front-loading machines with lower spin-speed and are still resistant to drying functions.

Excerpt from The Co-Evolution of Technology and Structures: The European Major Home Appliance Industry, 1945-1992
The co-evolution of technology and organizational structures is discussed through an historical analysis of the European Major Home Appliances industry and is related to the dynamics of selection processes, where geographically localized competition leads to local concentration, which in turn increases global competition and triggers global concentration.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the European Major Home Appliances industry and links its trajectory to the dynamics of selection processes, and how local competition often intensifies global competition, which in turn triggers global concentration. The author uses publicly available data to present a detailed history of the industry, observing distinct phases of growth and internationalization, the latter of which was shaped more by acquisitions than direct foreign investment. The book also examines how technological innovation and organizational structures co-evolved with the changing competitive environment, and how companies leveraged coordination mechanisms like inter-unit personnel rotation to reconcile the need for both efficiency and flexibility in manufacturing and marketing. Ultimately, the author highlights how these insights shed light on broader themes around evolutionary processes, technological innovation, and the challenges and opportunities faced by multinational corporations operating in geographically diverse markets. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332255382_0
