Description
Industrial restructuring continues to be an important and controversial subject which needs to be seen in a theoretical context if it is to be understood. "Manufacturing Change" makes a contribution to the field by bringing together the major theoretical debates and case study material which effectively challenges one sided and over optimistic accounts of change. Addressing both industries which are declining and modernizing, the book reveals the deep rooted problems which have not been solved by market forces or management initiatives in the 1980s. It demonstrates that uneven development and inter-capitalist competition remain as barriers to the successful rationalization of declining industry or the full development of new productive potential.
