 German Life: German Corporations Learn to Play the Globalization Game By John Dornberg
The days are over when a company like Siemens AG in the 1970s was proud of DM 20 billion ($12.5) in liquid assets and being called "a bank that engages in electrical engineering and electronics as a sideline" because it lent more money than it was borrowing.
Gone, too, are the days when a chairman like Peter von Siemens, then 69, considered his 43-year-old son "too young" to succeed him and recommended that "the youngster" spend at least a dozen more years in other management positions before taking the top slot.
Its history goes back to 1847 when 31-year-old Werner von Siemens, a physicist and lieutenant in the Prussian army, and Johann Georg Halske, a 33-year-old mechanical engineer, set up a small workshop with ten employees in Berlin to produce and market a revolutionary pointer-telegraph on which Siemens had just been awarded a patent.
