So, what is the reason for german excellence?
Is it cultural?
Engineers are engineers--pretty much interchangeable--let them define a problem, and they will come up with a solution. The difference must be when the cost accountants get involved in "decosting" an item. Maybe the engineer has a greater say in the final product, or maybe the engineer is better at creative solutions, or perhaps the local buyer is more aware of the quality, and pays the price rather than looking for a bargain.
I'd like to know why.
