商品描述
This is the remarkable story of an entrepreneurial firm that helped to create the petrochemical industry as we know it today. The author also highlights the important role chemical engineers played in developing and commercializing new technologies based on the conversion of hydrocarbons into petrochemicals, which also led to the transfer of technological dominance from Germany to the United States. These developments are illustrated by the participants' personal histories, in the form of interviews and recorded oral histories. In addition, the book presents a highly relevant case study for engineers and managers in the chemical industry.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這是一個創業公司的非凡故事，該公司幫助創造了我們今天所知的石化產業。作者還強調了化學工程師在開發和商業化基於碳氫化合物轉化為石化產品的新技術中所扮演的重要角色，這也導致了技術主導權從德國轉移到美國。這些發展透過參與者的個人歷史來說明，以訪談和錄音口述歷史的形式呈現。此外，本書為化學產業的工程師和管理者提供了一個高度相關的案例研究。
