Abstract: Abstract A comparative analysis of the case studies described in chapters 3 and 4 shows that even though the seven companies came from very different industries and had diverse historical backgrounds their adaptation processes were marked by manifold similarities. In 1990 already, certain characteristic problems could be identified in all seven cases. To be precise, all seven companies suffered from a lack of competitive products, from internal inefficiencies, from financial problems and from a lack of adequately qualified managers. The only difference between the seven companies was the extent to which these problems occurred.
