Note on the Paper Machinery Industry
Abstract
Describes the major structural changes taking place in the paper industry in the 1970s: major oil and pulp price increases, pollution legislation, a shift in industry development from OECD countries to LDCs and NICs and the technological revolution in paper making. These factors have led to important changes in the competitive environment, and specifically to the emergence of three companies pursuing "global strategies." Can be used with Dominion Engineering Works.
