| Zusammenfassung: | "Ernest Solvay, philanthropist and organizer of the world-famous Solvay conferences on physics, discovered a profitable way of making soda ash in 1861. Together with a handful of associates, he laid the foundations of the Solvay company, which successfully branched out into other chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals. Since its emergence in 1863, Solvay has maintained world leadership in the production of soda ash. This is the first scholarly book on the history of the Solvay company, which was one of the earliest chemical multinationals and today is among the world's twenty largest chemical companies. It is also one of the largest companies in the field to preserve its family character. The authors analyze the company's 150-year history (1863-2013) from economic, political and social perspectives, showing the enormous impact geopolitical events had on the company and the recent consequences of global competition"-- |

Together with a handful of associates, he laid the foundations of the Solvay company, which successfully branched out into other chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals. Since its emergence in 1863, Solvay has maintained world leadership in the production of soda ash. This is the first scholarly book on the history of the Solvay company, which was one of the earliest chemical multinationals and today is among the world's twenty largest chemical companies. It is also one of the largest companies in the field to preserve its family character. The authors analyze the company's 150-year history (1863-2013) from economic, political and social perspectives, showing the enormous impact geopolitical events had on the company and the recent consequences of global competition"--</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Solvay, Ernest</subfield><subfield code="d">1837-1922</subfield><subfield

Darst. 25 cm txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index "Ernest Solvay, philanthropist and organizer of the world-famous Solvay conferences on physics, discovered a profitable way of making soda ash in 1861. Together with a handful of associates, he laid the foundations of the Solvay company, which successfully branched out into other chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals. Since its emergence in 1863, Solvay has maintained world leadership in the production of soda ash. This is the first scholarly book on the history of the Solvay company, which was one of the earliest chemical multinationals and today is among the world's twenty largest chemical companies. It is also one of the largest companies in the field to preserve its family character. The authors analyze the company's 150-year history (1863-2013) from economic, political and social perspectives, showing the enormous impact geopolitical events had on the company and the recent consequences of global competition"-- Solvay, Ernest 1837-1922 (DE-588)11747598X gnd rswk-swf Solvay, Ernest 1838-1922 Solvay Firma (DE-588)5018742-9 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1863-2012 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Multinationales Unternehmen Chemische Industrie (DE-588)4009848-5 gnd rswk-swf Familienbetrieb (DE-588)4503339-0 gnd rswk-swf Multinationales Unternehmen (DE-588)4075092-9 gnd rswk-swf Belgien Belgien (DE-588)4005406-8 gnd rswk-swf Solvay Chemicals History Chemical industry Belgium History International business enterprises Belgium Philanthropists Belgium Solvay Firma (DE-588)5018742-9 b Geschichte 1863-2012 z DE-604 Solvay, Ernest 1837-1922 (DE-588)11747598X p Familienbetrieb (DE-588)4503339-0 s Multinationales Unternehmen (DE-588)4075092-9 s Chemische Industrie (DE-588)4009848-5 s Belgien (DE-588)4005406-8 g Bertrams, Kenneth Sonstige (DE-588)173946739 oth Coupain, Nicolas Sonstige oth Homburg, Ernst 1952- Sonstige (DE-588)140251693 oth Digitalisierung Deutsches Museum application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=025374447&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
