- Biscuits and skill: Biscuit making in Britain and Germany This is taken from a study of biscuit manufacture in ten (10) British and eight (8) German firms. The type of biscuits produced varied greatly between the two (2) countries, largely owing to national tastes and demand. In Britain demand concentrated on relatively basic biscuits: either plan or with simple coating of chocolate, cream, or jam. In Germany, there was a much higher demand for decorated and multi-textured products (soft biscuits with jam filling in chocolate cases or layered variegated biscuits). Since this affected the type of biscuits each firm produced, it was difficult to measure and compare output and productivity between the British and German factories. An examination of crude output figures indicated that at the British factories employees were 25 percent more productive than German employees largely because British firms produced large quantities of simple low quality biscuits. However, when productivity…arrow_forwardBiscuits and skill: Biscuit making in Britain and Germany This is taken from a study of biscuit manufacture in ten (10) British and eight (8) German firms.
