Manufacturing’s central role in global innovation Companies compete on the decisions they make. For years—even decades—in response to intensifying global competition, companies decided to outsource their manufacturing operations in order to reduce costs. But we are now seeing the alarming long-term effect of those choices: in many cases, once manufacturing capabilities go away, so does much of the ability to innovate and compete. Manufacturing, it turns out, really matters in an innovation-driven economy. In Producing Prosperity, Harvard Business School professors Gary Pisano and Willy Shih show the disastrous consequences of years of poor sourcing decisions and underinvestment in manufacturing capabilities. They reveal how today’s undervalued manufacturing operations often hold the seeds of tomorrow’s innovative new products, arguing that companies must reinvest in new product and process development in the US industrial sector. Only by reviving this “industrial commons” can the world’s largest economy build the expertise and manufacturing muscle to regain competitive advantage. America needs a manufacturing renaissance—for restoring itself, and for the global economy as a whole. This will require major changes. Pisano and Shih show how company-level choices are key to the sustained success of industries and economies, and they provide business leaders with a framework for understanding the links between manufacturing and innovation that will enable them to make better outsourcing decisions. They also detail how government must change its support of basic and applied scientific research, and promote collaboration between business and academia. For executives, policymakers, academics, and innovators alike, Producing Prosperity provides the clearest and most compelling account yet of how the American economy lost its competitive edge—and how to get it back.

One-stop source provides a current and historical overview of American industries An unparalleled source that provides a comprehensive look at American industries, Encyclopedia of American Industries chronicles the history, development and status of approximately 1,000 industries in the United States. Distinguishing itself from other business reference titles, Encyclopedia of American Industries is unique in its exhaustive coverage of American industry and in its special attention to industrial history. Also separating the Encyclopedia from competing sources is its consistent and easy-to-use encyclopedic format. The two-volume collection of articles are written with the accuracy and depth necessary for the professional, but at a level understandable to the novice and will be useful to a wide audience, including business-people, students, teachers, librarians, job seekers and investors. Essays, ranging in length from 500 to 5,000 words, provide a straight-forward examination of each industry. Here's a sample of some of the industry areas covered in EAI -- Manufacturing -- Transportation -- Entertainment -- Wholesale and retail trade -- Agriculture -- Construction -- Communications -- Finance -- And many others Individual entries typically contain: -- Size and impact of industry -- Industry organization and workings -- Historical development -- Current status of the industry -- Leading companies within the industry -- Size and nature of the workforce -- International outlook -- Technological and legal developments -- Bibliography In addition to including charts and graphs, which supplement the text with specific industryinformation, the Encyclopedia also includes two indexes. The industry index provides users with a comprehensive roster of products and services and the SIC classifications under which they are categorized. And, to help users quickly and easily pinpoint key information, the general index provides citations to companies, associations, key government agencies and legislative acts (e.g. the North American Free Trade Agreement) that are discussed within the essays.
