A chapter in The European Enterprise, 2008, pp 37-50 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Harm Schröter posed the problem: What is a “European enterprise” ? Has European integration increased the number of and/or changed the characteristics of European enterprise?1 To seek answers to these questions, it seemed useful to adopt as a handle for analysis an approach common in the study of multinational enterprise, that is to identify the home (where the firm is headquartered) and the host (where the firm does business outside the home), and to introduce a time dimension, comparing earlier periods of European history with the post-World War II years.
