Manufacturing in America: Crisis and Opportunity

Abstract

American manufacturing has gone from undisputed world leader to a troubled industry under economic siege from our international competitors. U. S. productivity, innovation, investments, and the work force have been scrutinized and found wanting by a variety of groups, agencies, and individuals. This student research paper highlights the challenges facing American manufacturers in today's global economy. Future trends are identified that will shape the industrial and government response to remedy the crisis. The paper concludes by outlining five industry actions which must be taken and five complimentary government actions to reinvigorate America's industrial progress.
