Book Synopsis The Global Cement Industry by : Sui Pheng Low

Download or read book The Global Cement Industry written by Sui Pheng Low. This book was released on 1993. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cement is one of the most basic building materials in the global construction industry. Nevertheless, although it occupies an important role in construction, its characteristics in the global sense are still relatively unknown. The findings in this book reveal, for example, that the manufacture of cement is predominantly capital intensive; that the production and distribution of cement is a highly vertically integrated trade; that the major cement producers resort to large scale price cutting when there are production surpluses; that geographical affinity can determine the flow of the global cement trade; and that the global demand for cement is erratic, and more.
