The corporate history of BASF spans an era of German and
international economic history that began with the rise of the 'new
industries' as of the late nineteenth century and continues today
in their confrontation with the new economy. This book examines
BASF's corporate governance, financial system, industrial
relations, system of qualification and relation to other companies.
A corporate history of BASF promises more than an insight into the
functioning of an industrial organisation. It also reveals the
reasons for the extraordinary economic dynamics of the German
empire and the enormous expansion of the world economy before World
War I. BASF's history stands at the centre of Germany's wartime
economy during two world wars and highlights both its strengths and
weaknesses. Just as the IG Farben trust helped support Germany's
course of politicoeconomic autarky after 1933, so it was that BASF
helped facilitate West Germany's startlingly quick return to the
world market. BASF has since been among the transnational companies
whose efforts at the leading edge of economic and technological
progress are paradigmatic for Germany's entry into the new economy
of the twenty-first century.
