Abstract

A natural starting point for the descriptive part of this book is to look at the industry as a whole. The results of our initial industry level analysis provide the basis for exploring cooperation activities in the following sections. This chapter is divided into two sections. Section 7.1 focuses on industry dynamics and geographical concentration patterns in the German laser industry. The initial descriptive exploration provides a comparison of industry dynamics, geographical concentration indices and spatial distribution patterns for three types of laser-related organizations – laser source manufacturers (LSMs), laser system providers (LSPs) and laser-related public research organizations (PROs). Section 7.2 focuses on LSMs that constitute the core of the industry due to their central position along the industry value chain. Our analysis reveals some interesting insights by uncovering entry and exit dynamics of LSMs on an annual basis and illustrating the size distribution of firms at the regional and national level. Finally, we take a closer look at the public research landscape in the German laser industry by exploring the structural composition of all PROs in the sample.
