Abstract
Ciba-Geigy (hereafter CG) is one of three major pharmaceutical companies located in the Basel area; the other two are Sandoz and Hoffmann-La Roche1. Due to its geographical situation, the Basel area has an influence which spreads beyond the borders of both canton and country. As a result, these companies are a driving force of the local economy and employment market.
