| dc.description.abstract | This paper briefly examines the factors that led to the failure of many firms in the post-communist, freshly unified East Germany, which led to mass unemployment and business closures. Afterwards, the majority of the discussion will focus on how the rough transition from communism to capitalism has resulted in a unique and advantageous environment for manufacturers in modern day East Germany due to five main factors of production: land, affordable skilled labour, infrastructure, economic security, and government subsidies. In order to provide thorough and relevant information, both secondary and primary sources will be employed, including a survey of future employment plans of students at the HHL Graduate School of Management in Leipzig. Finally, an analysis of the two successful firms of Porsche and AMD will be included to illustrate East Germany’s opportunity for unparalleled manufacturing advantages put into practice. | |
