Beschreibung
The work examines the organizational change of the wind
sector in the course of product and value chain
modularization. The methodology developed here analyzes
modularization using standardized variables and allows a
classification of value chains at company and component
levels.
Necessary adaptation and learning processes change
externalities and location requirements, lead to a
reorganization of relationships between components as well
as companies and create an organizational discontinuity.
This leads ultimately to a new spatial configuration of the
industry and its value chains.
Markus Adrian was a research assistant at the
Department of Geography at the University of Hamburg.
Currently he is working as Export Advisor for Wind Energy at
the Consulate General of Denmark in Hamburg.
