Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the organizational change of the wind sector in the course of product and value chain modularization. The methodology developed here analyzes modularization using standardized variables, and allows a classification of value chains at company and component levels. Necessary adaptation and learning processes change externalities and location requirements, which leads to a reorganization of relationships between components-as well as companies-and creates an organizational discontinuity. This leads ultimately to a new spatial configuration of the industry and its value chains. The author works as Export Advisor for Wind Energy at the Consulate General of Denmark in Hamburg.
