摘要：

In terms of the contribution to the Scottish economy, the electronics industry is by far the most valuable. Its value in 1996 was approximately &10 billion and accounted for more than half of Scotland's exports. Many of the companies are multi-national OEMs, who came to Scotland as inward investing companies. As the world environment in which the industry operates changes, the commitment of OEMs to their Scottish operations may not be secure, with a risk to employment by both OEMs and indigenous suppliers. A recent development is the creation of supplier hubs. To some extent, the advent of these businesses means a substantial change in the supply chain strategy of the OEMs. This paper discusses the impact these operations will have on the industry and on the economy.
