In this case study, Germany should be seen as a benchmark for Sweden. In order to analyse the competitiveness of Sweden and Germany in the photovoltaic industry, I will use the diamond model from Porter. This model includes factors, which are important to create competitive advantage in a particular industry.
This thesis should provide useful information for the government and companies within this sector about strengths and weaknesses in the photovoltaic industry in Sweden. (Less)
