Abstract :
If your market is continually changing, it´s no use merely catching up: you have to be agile enough to follow wherever it leads. The authors explore why UK manufacturing output has not risen in line with productivity, and present a model for future manufacturing business. They argue that without growth in output, UK manufacturing industry will be swept away by the incoming Eastern bloc and East Asian companies
