Abstract

This paper explores the transformation of Danish shipbuilding from 1975-2015. It identifies 27 firms that were spun out during the closure of four Danish shipyards and finds that several of these firms were able to apply the inherent resources in new activities with more value added. The paper also finds that the competencies of the redundant workers from the four shipyards were useful in other parts of the Danish labor market. The paper sheds new light how internal and external factors influence the transformation of mature industries.
