The creation of the Common Market in the European Community required electronics multinational Philips to integrate production operations across European countries. This effort had consequences for its Australian subsidiary. Rather than become a regional Philips hub with the support of its parent, as intended in the 1960s, it was absorbed by addressing changes in Australian trade policy and increased Japanese imports. The parent company’s establishment of regional supply centres in Europe and Asia left no role for the small Australian production facilities in the company’s global structure. Production and employment at Philips Australia were scaled back drastically during the 1970s.

欧洲一体化与澳大利亚制造业：飞利浦电子案例，1960 年代 -1970 年代

欧洲共同体共同市场的建立要求电子跨国公司飞利浦整合欧洲国家的生产业务。这一努力对其澳大利亚子公司产生了影响。它没有像 1960 年代那样在其母公司的支持下成为区域性飞利浦枢纽，而是通过解决澳大利亚贸易政策的变化和日本进口的增加而被吸收。母公司在欧洲和亚洲建立的区域供应中心并未让澳大利亚的小型生产设施在公司的全球结构中发挥作用。飞利浦澳大利亚的生产和就业在 1970 年代大幅缩减。
