Staatliche Technologiepolitik und branchenübergreifender Wissenstransfer Über die Ursachen der internationalen Innovationserfolge der deutschen Kunststoffindustrie im 20. Jahrhundert

"Streb's analysis and discussion of the history of innovation processes in the German chemistry industry, its transition into a synthetic rubber-producing industry and then into a plastics-producing industry with its connection to the plastics-manufacturing industry, is firmly grounded in modern industrial economic theory. To sum up, a copy of Streb's clearly and fascinatingly written book should be presented to politicians who advocate the building of a better environment in order to stimulate innovation activities." Helmut Braun in: The Journal of European Economic History (Vol.34, 3/2005)
