Why has Switzerland—a tiny, landlocked country with few natural advantages—become so successful for so long at so many things? In banking, pharmaceuticals, machinery, even textiles, Swiss companies rank alongside the biggest and most powerful global competitors. How did they get there? Can the Swiss continue to perform in a hyper-competitive global economy? Swiss Made offers answers to these and many other questions about the country as it describes the origins, structures, and characteristics of the most important Swiss companies. R. James Breiding is the author of a best-selling book called 'Swiss Made - The Untold Story behind Switzerland's success'. Available in 7 languages, the book has become the most authoritative work on Swiss achievements in the world. It won the ProHelvetia Prize in 2014 as the book best reflecting Swiss culture and values and is now given by 40 Swiss embassies around the world as a diplomatic gift. I am the most frequently published and cited writer on Swiss affairs for journals like The Economist, Financial Times, Foreign Affairs, New York Times, NZZ, and Wall Street Journal.
