EMCC dossier on Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS)
07 Novembre 2006/The so-called ‘knowledge economy’ has given way to a whole range of new professional activities and occupations referred to as Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS). This emerging sector is regarded as a fundamental contributor to EU competitiveness, largely due to its key role in providing non-core services to companies across the economic spectrum. Although a relatively young and unknown sector, its contribution to employment and growth across the EU in the coming years is expected to be paramount in the context of achieving the goals of the Lisbon Agenda. This dossier aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the trends and forces shaping KIBS and draws mainly on recent and original EMCC research, including a sector mapping report, company and cluster studies, future scenarios and foresight work./ -

Managing large-scale restructuring: Michelin Stoke-on-Trent
14 Giugno 2006/Tyre production is not an industry traditionally associated with the Stoke-on-Trent industrial area of the West Midlands in the United Kingdom. However, following the arrival of the French-based tyre manufacturer Michelin in the late 1920s, the company soon became one of the region's major employers. In the 1980s and late 1990s, Michelin recognised the need to restructure its Stoke manufacturing plant, aiming at reducing production costs and remaining competitive. However, in August 2000, the French mother company announced the closure of operations at Stoke, due to high overheads and deteriorating market conditions. This case study documents the restructuring process and its implementation, leading to the closure of the Michelin Stoke plant. It also looks at the social and economic measures taken by the company to manage the closure in a socially responsible way./
