The case of Nokia
There we have it back: A resident in Germany, large companies announced the planned elimination of 4,000 jobs, and the excitement in the country is great. Employees feel exploited, the policy speaks again of bad acting and debating legislation. Ha ha, that is so typical! It is terrible to realize how little is the maxim of a company in this country considered. The purpose of a business enterprise is profit maximization. Profit maximization. The gain should be maximized. If this is less possible in country A than in country B, so the move to country B considered. Thus, this
Nevertheless: In the aforementioned reasons for this step Nokia's spokesperson, that labor costs in Germany are ten times higher than in Eastern Europe. No company is obliged to have to go bankrupt first before it can worry about it, to maximize its profit. On the contrary, every good management will look around in time, is badly shattered under which Rahmenbedigungen and produced. In the case of Nokia slap in the face of the German public in the fact that the "perceived injustice" is diametrically present in this case, the interests of the economy. To behave in this country so that one is all the moral and ethical ideals prescribe and have to say again and again that the "oh so evil" world just works differently than you would like to believe. This should give pause to the general public, which here is probably wrong. Interestingly, the debate does not mention that Nokia and Siemens have joined forces in 2007 to Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN). It is by no means a purely foreign company. It was also during this operation in April 2007 reported that 6,000 jobs have to be dropped in sight. In this respect, the newly announced layoffs fall not so unpredictable "from heaven", but longer follow-term business analysis and planning.
Sure Nokia's Miarbeiter feel understandably exploited and exploited, but: In a country where the call more than 60% feel that socialism as a "good thing", one should have to ask self-critical, the incentives to companies out there at all, in to stay country. SPD, CDU / CSU, Alliance 90/The Greens and the Left ... All-State redistribution parties. The case of Nokia clearly shows how stupid and counterproductive this redistribution delusion is. Let's see a closer look: The income tax of employees from the Treasury is used eg for large contributions to the EU, which itself 20 billion as investment grants to Romania has paid. This can be used eg for investments in infrastructure, so local businesses will benefit directly or indirectly. Although it is said that Nokia in Romania will receive no direct subsidies, but one can assume that there will be one or other incentives to lure production there. At the end of the day is the realization that we ultimately finance the drain Innlände jobs themselves. The welfare state does not prevent social imbalances (as claimed), but he supports him. Sometimes he even caused it.
It plays the excitement of the policy covered only mention the fact that extremely high duties not to 'social Justice lead, but exactly the opposite. Does a politician these things but related to, is he (or she) immediately as a "neoliberal" mocks (in disregard of the true meaning of the term). Stupidity has been always laughed the loudest. If my wife permanently poor treatment, I must not be surprised if I am running one day, the same goes for companies. If one company permanently treated badly, so one must wonder about their migration also If I shamelessly population and businesses. . profiteers then it may just happen that they take the international flight is the case, Nokia's how it shows one thing: The policy which now the title of "immediate action" on his chest pinned opened reflexively sham debates that obscures the true relationships. Why? Well, the juggernaut from politics and state the blocks "citizens" and "Wirstchaft" life does not bad. The social consciousness, the knee-jerk outcry in such cases, it also justifies the cash up and yields. Self-criticism? Not applicable. Modesty? Also nil. Because the term "subsidy locust" is born, and hides the end, that this very obvious subsidies were necessary to despite a lack of competitiveness of a company like Nokia ever get to Germany to . The State ' Subventionitis' masks the symptoms, but where would the core of the disease are identified and addressed. As called for Mr. Bennet (SPD) in the Bundestag, the "social cohesion" to. Oh! The closed companies (and entrepreneurs) from, or what? Where the cohesion has been, as was decided at the beginning of 2007, the largest tax increase in Germany since the war end? I do not think this has promoted the cohesion between the state and its citizens and businesses. How random is approved then the same politicians a 9.7% increase in dietary sodium. Where was this the "social Cohesion?
Perhaps the debate should again but intense at the turn in Germany.
