Electronics is the most dynamic industry in the modern world economy. Unfortunately, much of the development boom has bypassed Britain and although now, after years of stagnation, there are signs that the British industry is beginning to achieve reasonable growth it is still not competing on anything like equal terms with American, Japanese and Asian/Pacific competitors.
This book charts the recent history of the electronics industry in Britain, considers its present state and assesses its future prospects. The author argues that provided management policies in British electronics firms can adapt to the constantly changing environment characteristic of the industry worldwide, there are opportunities for the future in such areas as changing manufacturing techniques, work design issues, and buyer-supplier relations with the large multinational base in Britain.
