European manufacturers have a high standard and a strong position in the industrial engineering with innovative and customized solutions. But they lose market share in mass production. Fig. 1 illustrates this migration process from centers of the Triade to developing and undeveloped countries. Both consumption and production of technical goods migrate to developing countries. Global markets, global logistics, global finance, and global distribution of knowledge accelerate the migration process. © 2006 Springer.
