AB - Abstract US chemical industry competitiveness declined relative to the German chemical industry during the 1980s. This trend reflects, in part, differing responses by the two industries to the challenges they faced in the 1970s due to increasing feedstock costs and environmental concerns. US producers implemented an E3 strategy (concurrent energy, economic, and environmental improvements) while German producers achieved a fourth goal, efficacy in innovating higher valueadded products, making theirs an E4 strategy. This paper examines the link between the differing responses, the cultures of the two industries, and relevant public policies. It also investigates the likely implications of the E3 and E4 strategies for future competitiveness. This content is only available as a PDF. © Beech Tree Publishing 1994
