11 Preface This book is the outcome of a two year project involving a group of European economists and business scholars. Why the chemical industry? There are many reasons. First this is an industry in which Europe has been competitive for a long time. It was natural to think of it as a test-bed for understanding the sources of its performance. Second, the chemical industry is ideal for scholars who want to understand the complexity of industrial phenomena. The industry is large and it encompasses many sub-sectors. The latter are heterogeneous, and this implies that the industry as a whole can be used as a case to understand several phenomena, ranging from R&D and innovation to market structure, government regulation, business strategy, economies of scale and scope at the level of firms or at the level of entire markets. In this respect, the book attempted specifically at "fixing" industry characteristics to look, within the context of the chemical sector, at a number of topic that help us better understand the economics of industries and firms. The spirit of the book continues the tradition initiated with a previous long term research project on the sources of competitive advantages and long-term growth of the US chemical industry. We tried to reproduce, for the European chemical sector, the approach taken by Ashish Arora, Ralph Landau, and Nate Rosenberg in the earlier book. The US project/book hinged on the breadth and complexity of the industry to understand industry structure and dynamics from different perspectives. The strength and success of its approach provided a natural thrust for repeating it here. At the same time, beside the focus on Europe rather than the US, this book developed other topics that were not addressed by the earlier book, and presented some newer perspectives. But like
12 xiv Preface the previous one, it highlights the virtues of collective research among groups of motivated scholars who provide their special skills, interests, and expertise in different areas to contribute to an integrated output. This is also why our recognition of the support of the DG Science & Technology ofthe European Commission (TSER Contract N SOEl-CT97) goes beyond a mere grateful acknowledgement. It was the nature and the spirit of the TSER grants that allowed groups of scholars from different European countries, and with different backgrounds, to come together, and accomplish a project that integrated their diversities of approaches, knowledge, skills and expertise. We can only wish that the Commission feels encouraged from outputs like ours that there is serious value in enhancing collaborative projects such as the one that we had the fortune to undertake. In this context, we would like to warmly thank Virginia Vitorino, who was our scientific officer on behalf of the Commission, for her clear guidance in all administrative matters but also for her scientific advise as well as for her permanent support and kindness. We would also like to thank Paul David and Ed Stenmueller, who were active participants in some of the seminars leading to the production of this book, and gave invaluable suggestions that improved the papers and the editorial process. We carried onto this book a number of the lessons that we received from Nate Rosenberg an Ralph Landau in the realization of the previous projects, and more generally as their students. None of the above can of course be held responsible for the contents of this book. We finally acknowledge the patience of all our authors, and the enthusiasm with which they undertook this effort, going through several tedious revisions and demands from us. A lot of the credit for whatever good is in this book goes to them. We, as editors, will take all the blame. Fabrizio Cesaroni Alfonso Gambardella Walter Garcia-Fontes
