dustrial sectors are presently going through a difficult period. This is largely due to severe economic ad- justments, fruits of the Maastricht Accord, required of Spain in compli- ance with its full economic incorpo- ration into the EC. Another impor- tant factor to take into consider- ation is the general international climate of economic decline. Some of the harder hit areas, such as iron ore/coal mining, and steel and iron production demand far- reaching reforms and restructuring. In other sectors, the government's policy is the privatization of indus- tries under its control. This is being done to promote free competition. The maritime industry appears to be headed in this direction as well. The many enterprises within the maritime sector will also need to implement changes. And these changes are faced with the old battle of tradition vs. modernization. Hierarchical company structures must change to be more functional. High level management must insti- tute a new methodology for con- ducting business. The financial en- gineering formula for improving li- ability on new contracts must also be addressed. Spain's giant private banking sector should become more sympathetic on this point instead of just ignoring it. Regardless of these negative as- pects, shipyard productivity and use of modern technology have propelled the shipbuilding sector into the fore- front of the industry. With full incorporation into the EC imminent, Spain will have to place more emphasis on it maritime industry if it expects to be able to fully compete with the rest of the member countries.
