Abstract
Die vorliegende Studie untersucht mit Hilfe theoretischer Analysen und vertiefender Exper-teninterviews, welche Herausforderungen und Chancen für mittelständische Unternehmen mit der Mitwirkung in (globalen) Wertschöpfungsketten verbunden sind. In Wertschöpfungsketten mit hohem Wettbewerbsdruck üben börsennotierte Endhersteller häufig einen hohen Kostensenkungs- und Innovationsdruck aus und diktieren den Zulieferern ihre Bedingungen. Demgegenüber legen mittelständische Endhersteller mehr Wert auf fairen Dialog und Interessenausgleich. Zur Reduzierung von Abhängigkeiten und Machtasymmetrien können Zulieferer verschiedene Upgrading-Strategien verfolgen, darunter eine kontinuierliche Innovationsorientierung sowie die verstärkte Produktion von modular aufgebauten Produkten. In mehreren Zulieferbranchen lassen sich Konzentrationstendenzen beobachten, die u. a. durch einen hohen Internationalisierungsdruck verursacht werden.
