In addition, a government committee in the immediate post-war period estimated that in excess of 1200 new chemical engineers would be required before 1950. As a result, the British government decided to invest in a rapid expansion of chemical engineering teaching, resulting in a doubling of the number of institutions offering courses ranging from part-time diploma courses to degree programmes. Similar post-war expansion occurred in Australia7 , in Canada [15], in South Africa [25] and in Japan [29], for example.

Felcht price are high. Figure 4 illustrates this distinction graphically, using a system of coordinates based on the purchasing cost savings, and the cost and risks of change. This allows the degree of specialization of a chemical to be estimated. 1. Strategic success factors for suppliers of commodities In the case of these products it is virtually impossible to make a differentiation in the market through product properties. The degree of purity that has already been achieved is very high and adequate for nearly all applications.
