The Productivity Race by S. N. Broadberry Pdf

This book is a reassessment of British performance in manufacturing since 1850 in the light of new evidence on international comparisons of productivity. Using a novel analytical framework of technological evolution, Stephen Broadberry uncovers new ways of looking at Britain's relative economic decline while debunking a number of misapprehensions regarding the nature and causes of the decline. It analyses productivity levels in Britain, the United States and Germany and provides detailed case studies of all the major manufacturing industries, broken down into three periods: 1850-1914, 1914-50 and 1950-90. Broadberry offers a wide coverage of industries, with invaluable country-specific information. By combining a multitude of detailed productivity measurements with qualitative industrial and business history, he provides a major contribution to our understanding of British economic performance over the last 150 years.

Why are the British Bad at Manufacturing? by Karel Williams,John Williams,Dennis Thomas Pdf

This book, first published in 1983, offers a new explanation for the poor performance of British manufacturing since 1950. Rather than invoke orthodox economic theory or general social factors, the book analyses four national conditions – enterprise control over the labour process; market structure and the composition of demand; the relation of manufacturing enterprise to financial institutions like banks and stock exchanges; and the relation of manufacturing enterprise to government.

Made In Britain by Evan Davis Pdf

What are countries famous for making? For Japan, the answer might be electronic goods. For Germany, automobiles. For France, perhaps a Louis Vuitton bag. But what about Britain? Here, Evan Davis sets himself the task of finding out. Offering a fascinating look at our manufacturing industries and revealing the various companies that might not be household names, but are very much world leaders in their fields, he shows how we have learnt to specialise in high end and niche areas that are the envy of the world. Taking in our disappointments and successes, Made in Britain is a brilliantly readable tour of our economic history, exploring the curious blend of resilience, innovation and economic free-thinking that makes us who we are.

Competitveness and Productivity of UK Manufacturing Industry by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Trade and Industry Committee Pdf

Manufacturing productivity in the UK has consistently lagged behind that of our international competitors for twenty years. The events of 11 September 2001 added to the problems of the sector by the significant impact on international trade, affecting manufacturers dependent on export markets. The Committee investigated these two topics. It finds that the events of 11 September reinforced and accelerated a decline in world trade already underway, and although the impact in the short term for sectors such as aerospace and engineering is serious, the long-term effect should not be great. On productivity, the report highlights a consistent shortfall in capital investment relative to international competitors. In addition, the strength of sterling has had an adverse effect on the competitiveness of UK manufacturing, with many firms squeezing margins to remain competitive rather than seeking efficiency savings. The Committee sees scope for government giving priority to the needs of the manufacturing sector
