Budde F., Felcht U.H., e.a. (ed.). Value Creation. Strategies for the Chemical Industry
2nd edition. WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. 2006. - 467 p.
The editors have attempted to incorporate the changes into the agenda of this second edition, which falls into three main parts. Starting with an overview of the chemical industry, the book discusses the elements that are relevant to strategic decision-making in the chemical industry in general and in a number of key industry segments. In the next section, all the key elements of the chemical business system are addressed, reflecting the importance of functional excellence as a
major driver of the industry’s performance. The final set of chapters deals with special topics of interest to chemical companies, including current hot topics such as China and biotechnology.
