: Beck, V.; Schmitt, P.

Abstract
In the first quarter of 1997 the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA conducted an investigation into the wire harness sector in the Philippines on behalf of the German Investment and Development Company (DEG). Stringent political and economical programs as well as a mentality and culture similar to those of western countries offer a wide range of favorabel conditions. Thus the Philippines are growing into one of the most interesting countries for investors in the wire harness manufacturing sector.
