As companies based OUTSIDE the EU have been able to maintain a level of dominance within the same far-east cost pressures, then it’s just down to mismanagement. And, when one considers how MUCH of the technology space originated from EU companies that were then sold to countries OUTSIDE the EU… it just makes one wonder why can’t companies based in the EU be managed properly?Primarily due to mismanagement and far-east cost pressures.
Not a counter-example, really, it fits the mold of what’s expected from EU based companies today, like with ASML’s revenue being an impressive $22.308B, but TSMC, NOT based in the EU, making $72.873B.Another counter-example: Airbus, now holding about 60% of the global airliner market!
$61.913B USD of revenue in all of 2022 for Airbus is NOTHING to be sneezed at, for sure. However, just limiting the comparison to US companies, GE had revenue of $69.01B USD… and there were number 53 US companies that made even more.
