Yesterday, in Ain, at the bedside of the Plastic Omnium subcontractor, he extolled the virtues of this France perspire in the workshops. He thus registered his way in a long tradition, Napoleon III to Georges Pompidou, making the industry bases for the development of the France. "Dear old France! The good cooking! The Folies Bergère! The gay-Paris! Haute-couture (...)! It is over! "The France started and largely initiated an industrial revolution", was declared President Pompidou in 1972. "I believe in plants, this is my tip", said Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008. With a strong belief: the industry is a reservoir of manpower and skills and takes the rest of the companies behind it.
The France has therefore developed the concept of industrial policy, which relied on the idea that the State could choose, promote and accompany the development companies. The recent interventions at the bedside of the automobile within the same idea. Materne is on the one hand and, on the other, it guides, including to protect the heart of the device, the factories threatened by delocalization.
It is clear that the result is not up to expectations. Table of French industry just compile the Insee leaves thoughtfully, so it covers the year 2007, before the crisis. For a decade, French industry shriveled. She loses the competitiveness, employment and market share. Result, academe to the President of the Republic, the France, with Britain, the large the most désindustrialisé country in Europe. In terms of jobs or even share in wealth creation, industry fell below the 15 of the total.
In fact, if there is a sector that has developed over the last thirty years in France and which allowed the country to increase its standard of living, it is that of services. Compare the first thirty companies between 1975 and 2005 is edifying. One sees disappear from large conglomerates and appear weight heavy as Accor, Sodexo, Adecco, France Telecom, or Air France-KLM, all champions of the services and devoid of any plant. The first employers of France, out of public service, are Carrefour and Veolia.
If it is no longer a locomotive, the industry takes at least the rest of the economy France, it is fashionable to mock the British, "nation of shopkeepers", as Napoleon, deluded in the impure trade finance. But the current automotive crisis shows dependence in finance, whose development has been one of the main drivers of great global growth in recent years. It did so by creating a credit bubble which has also devastated property real estate than the automobile. And many service activities are now the industry. Cinema and sport lead to sales of televisions and telecoms services the sale of terminals.
In fact, it's time to become aware of two major events that have occurred over the past 20 years and that must change our vision of the business world. On the one hand, pure and hard industry, with its factories for cars or aircraft, is no longer at the top of a pyramid of evolution which ACC all the rest. Under the thrust of globalization and information technologies, the world of business is a huge global network where mingle designers, producers, distributors and consumers.
On the other hand, it is now impossible to draw a line between industry and services. The first tertiarisent under the thrust of a consumer demand for more and more fragmented, when the second industrialization to lower their costs. Apple, one of the coolest industrialists of the beginning of the century, is not a single plant and made everything in China. Is its success shame to America Conversely, Zara and Ikea are both traders and even industrial designers. Their business became more sophisticated than that of many engineers. Similarly, computer services companies have created real plants in software, which allowed their relocation in India. Even the leisure sport film, now becomes an industry. One might therefore ask if today the priority is not to promote the emergence of competitive and non-harder to outsource overseas services, be they in Renault, Carrefour or at the hospital, rather than maintain the nostalgia of the chimney smoking. Help the University more than plant.
