{"title":"Corporate restructuring in the telecommunications equipment industry: The case of Spain in the late twentieth century","authors":"Ángel Calvo","doi":"10.1080/00076791.2022.2087634","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00076791.2022.2087634","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractA new technological paradigm coupled with a powerful wave of deregulation and liberalisation that was unleashed worldwide from the 1980s onwards acted as a catalyst for profound transformation in the telecommunications equipment industry, which was dominated at the time by large multinational corporations. These developments, in turn, led to worldwide restructuring in the sector. The present paper hypothesises that the sector’s oligopolistic structure remained, but that it did so under the leadership of new global players that sought to impose their strategies in response to the prevailing conditions. The paper also aims to explain the reasons for the global restructuring in the sector by looking at the strategies, choices, and decisions of the involved multinationals from the viewpoint of the nation-state. Based on the assumption that a separate analysis of one national unit can help to understand the process as a whole, the paper draws on primary sources to describe and analyse the adjustment path within Standard Eléctrica, a Spanish subsidiary first of IT&T and then of Alcatel.Keywords: IT&TAlcatelStandard EléctricaAmerican telephone and telegraph Cotelecommunications equipment industryrestructuringoligopolies Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 European Commission (Citation1997), p. 39; Crandall and Flamm, eds. (Citation1989); Feldstein (Citation2007), p. 420. Heated debates preceded the AT&T break-up: Agnew and Romeo (Citation1981), pp. 273–288. In their influential report to President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, Nora and Minc (Citation1978) coined a new word – “télématique” (télécommunication + informatique) – and proposed as a cornerstone the strategy of “marrying” computers and communication technologies. Some years later, Spanish President Felipe González commissioned the prestigious sociologist Castells (Citation1986) to undertake a similar study, which inspired the Socialist attitude of putting pressure on multinationals to negotiate industrial restructuring.2 IT&T had technological problems, was oversized from the legal and financial point of view, and had an inadequate technical and commercial structure: Suard (Citation2002); Zanfei (Citation1992), pp. 83–105. The multinational openly regarded SEL as a German firm because of its manufacturing capacity and independence research (Ziegler, Citation1997, p. 84).3 The ERI, created in mid-1983 in Amsterdam, consisted of half a hundred of European entrepreneurs working at both national and European level to strengthen the competitiveness of the European economy, which was then lacking in dynamism and innovation compared to those of Japan and the United States.4 Quatrepoint (Citation1986), p. 8.5 Batt and Darbishire (Citation1997), pp. 59–79; Baskoy (Citation2008); Thatcher (1999), p. 199.

While not denying organisation specific causes, short-run triggering events, and key players’ motivations, it shows that the extent of fraud and the number of financial scandals depend on the opportunities created by the financial system’s evolution. Using archival and quantitative evidence from the United Kingdom, it specifies aggregate changes in the incidence of fraud and scandal between 1900 and 2010. The evidence shows that economic freedom, including the degree of financial development, the availability of credit, the relative importance of the financial sector, international capital mobility and secrecy, and banking stability, contribute to the prevalence of fraud and scandal. Financial repression explains a generalised reduction in a 25-year period after the Second World War. Conversely, economic liberalisation from 1979 onwards has increased the incidence of fraud and financial scandal.","PeriodicalId":47531,"journal":{"name":"Business History","volume":" 39","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135242256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
