The statistical and bibliographical sources show that the Greek Industry of the last 50 years is not a field of ruins which the recent crisis would have finished destroying. It has followed the general evolution in the world of the industrial product towards the industrial service and the immaterial or cultural forms and thereby escaped to historians sight. It holds in Greece a place similar to that hold in the European Union. Its specialization strongly increased because of its insertion in competitive spaces and because of the crisis. It occupies original spaces in Greece, which favor the evolution of the product and its distribution on the whole territory, far from the traditional opposition between Athens and the province. His Diaspora in the world helped to build a
particularly opened foreign trade.

The company is the geometrical place of the growth, as it is of the adaptation to the crisis, particularly violent since 2010. The company led the industrial restructuring, the reduction of the employment and the modification of the forms of employment, but also the recovery of the productivity and the restoration of its financial autonomy. The latter is built in a original way, based as well on the family self-financing as on the practices of delaying payments of bank and administrative debts. These corporate strategies invite to a closer observation of the entrepreneurialité in Greece, its vigour, its characteristics in terms of size, legal form and employment. They point to the role of the family and its values in the historic construction of the entrepreneurial spirit, in properties of some branches of industry, in the relation between companies and the State.
