| Abstract: | This paper discusses organizational innovations in Germany's early "high-tech" industries, electricity and organic chemicals in the late nineteenth century, and as well as in two modern German high-tech sectors, computing and biotechnology in the late twentieth century. The contrast between science-driven and market-pioneering hightech sectors is shown to be historically robust, with ramifications for the European Paradox of high R&D levels unmatched by corresponding levels of commercial performance in European high-tech sectors. |
