Produktbeschreibung

"Manufacturing in Transition" makes a genuinely interdisciplinary contribution to the debate over the UK's strategy for industrial renewal. It looks at the current state of the British manufacturing sector within the global economy and asks whether manufacturing matters in the twenty-first century. The book explores key issues such as: the chances of renewal; developments in the management and organization of operations and supply chains; and the differences made by Japanese methods. This is a timely assessment of the UK's industrial development and makes a major contribution to debates over the industrial strategy and the position of manufacturing within industrialized economies.
