As a consequence of this proliferation of products and processes and their mutual interdependence, this paper adopts a wide definition of the chemical industry, which encompasses all branches mentioned above.

The development of artificial dyestuffs can act as a case in point here. Whereas it was the Briton W. H. Perkin who developed the first artificial dye, the bulk of the subsequent new dyes originated from Germany.

Oliver E. Williamson, Markets and Hierarchies: Analysis and Anti-Trust Implications (New York, 1975). According to the distinction introduced by Williamson between market and hierarchy as the two alternative ways of effecting business transactions, on an international plane market leads to foreign trade. Foreign trade consists of a transfer of goods and services. By contrast, hierarchy on an international level involves the transfer of assets across borders. It can be effected by foreign direct investment. As a consequence of this transfer of assets, the level of integration between the two partners rises. A common governance structure evolves.

In this paper, a multinational enterprise is defined in accordance with the definitions advanced in John H. Dunning, Multinational Enterprises and the Global Economy (Wokingham, 1993), 3; Mira Wilkins, "Hosts to Transnational Investments - A Comparative Analysis," in Transnational Investment from the 19th Century to the Present, ed. Hans Pohl (Stuttgart, 1994), 27; and Geoffrey Jones, The Evolution of International Business: An Introduction (New York, 1996), 4. Following these definitions, a multinational enterprise (MNE) is a company which engages in value adding activities in more than one country. It disposes of assets in a country other than its home country, be it in the form of a sales and marketing subsidiary or a production unit. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is the term applied to the transfer of assets that turns a company into an MNE. The assets involved in this process can be tangible or intangible. Usually they are comprised of a combination of capital, machines and equipment, know-how and personnel.

The very first reform he and his followers effected was the Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks Act of 1883, which bestowed upon the Board of Trade the right to revoke a patent. The law was not made use of, however. Levinstein consequently resumed lobbying for its reform. See, for instance, Levinstein, "Observations and Suggestions," 351-359. For Levinstein's role in bringing about the patent law, cf. also P. Reed, "The British Chemical Industry and the Indigo Trade," in British Journal of the History of Science 25 (1992): 113-125.

On the organizational level, the British plants were joined together by a holding company, Chemical Works, Late H. & E. Albert, in London. This company was not run separately from its German mother company, however. The German company's annual reports name both German and British directors as managers of the conglomerate. Of the total equity of the company, the British branch accounted for approximately 18 percent (or £15,000) in 1909, the first year for which the annual report of Chemische Werke vorm. H. & E. Albert is preserved. Investments in the U.K. increased in the following years. In the annual report of 1913, Albert's British plants were valued at approximately £27,000.

This threat was substantial, as there would not have been enough scrap metal to keep all de-tinning plants profitable. Goldschmidt's process was slightly superior technically, which is why competitor firms feared that they would go out of business should Goldschmidt set up its own de-tinning plant in the U.K.

AG für Kohlendestillation was to share profits with Bell Brothers for a twelve-year period, after which AG für Kohlendestillation was again to obtain the whole of the profits for another six years. After this period, a new agreement was to be drawn up to take into account changed circumstances. This was prevented, however, by the beginning of the First World War.

In the company's balance sheet for March 1914, AG für Kohlendestillation's foreign assets were valued at £220,000. These were made up of five British investments and one Russian coking plant. No individual values were given, but it is to be assumed that the British investments amounted to approximately £180,000. As both its British and Russian interests were sequestrated during World War I, AG für Kohlendestillation lost its main assets. Furthermore, British companies had taken over AG für Kohlendestillation's British plants and were working its technology on their own account. AG's management saw no prospect of resuming business in the U.K. (or Russia, for that matter) after the War. In Germany, the company consequently went into liquidation in 1919/20.

The name Elberfeld Farbenfabriken Co. was deemed overly complicated by Bayer's British customers. They argued that it was hardly pronounceable. Furthermore, "Bayer" should be in the company name, as this would specify immediately whose products were being sold. To reduce the language barrier and allow for immediate recognition of the brand name the company name was subsequently simplified into The Bayer Co. The original capital of The Baver Co. was £5,000, whereas Meister, Lucius & Brüning Ltd. started out with £20,000.

This quick reaction can be explained in part by experiences the companies had had in other countries. Several German companies had already established branch production units in France several years earlier, after the French government had introduced a regulation that patents had to be worked in the country. Being forced by national legislation to establish a production unit was thus not a new experience for German companies.

PRO, BT 31/ 18500/ 98979; Chandler, Scale and Scope, 443, notes that branch production was possible for VGF, because its production process did not allow for large economies of scale anyway. At first, VGF endeavored to promote its process, which was based on the use of cupprannium as a raw material. It transpired, however, that a rival process, which was based on viscose rather than cuprannium was superior to VGF's own method. In the event, VGF tried to get hold of the patents for the viscose based process which in the U.K. was practiced by the market leader Courtaulds, in Germany by J. P. Bemberg. So while the VGF investment needs to be seen in the light of the patent law, it also had other motives. At first it resulted from the desire for monopolistic control of the artificial fibers market. When it became obvious that the company's own process was inferior to the rival one, a switch to this process occurred, and the British investment was upheld to secure VGF's share of the British market. By World War I, VGF and its British subsidiary had become the second biggest producer of artificial fiber after Britain's Courtaulds Ltd.
