Then, industrial performance improved dramatically through the 1990s and appears pervasively brighter today. A look at any group of industries, however, reveals important differences in the factors behind the resurgence--in industry structure and strategy, research performance, and location of activities--as well as similarities in the national policy environment, impact of information technology, and other factors. U.S. Industry in 2000 examines eleven key manufacturing and service industries and explores how they arrived at the present and what they face in the future. It assesses changing practices in research and innovation, technology adoption, and international operations. Industry analyses shed light on how science and technology are applied in the marketplace, how workers fare as jobs require greater knowledge, and how U.S. firms responded to their chief competitors in Europe and Asia. The book will be important to a wide range of readers with a stake in U.S. industrial performance: corporate executives, investors, labor representatives, faculty and students in business and economics, and public policymakers.US industry in 2000IndustriesUnited StatesForecastingCongressesEconomic forecastingUnited StatesCongressesUnited StatesEconomic conditions1981-2001CongressesIndustriesForecastingEconomic forecasting338.0973/09/051Mowery David C89083National Research Council (U.S.).Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965610003321U.S. industry in 20004362970UNINA
