Author examines culture of indigenous UK manufacturing

Suffolk, England (PRWEB) October 07, 2012

Author John Fenton sets out to show readers how a revival of manufacturing industry is crucial to counteract unemployment in his nonfiction treatise, “New Ways for Indigenous Manufacturing: How Research Revelations have Defined a Future Path” (published by AuthorHouse UK).

“Many people in the UK and other mature economies are bewildered by the erosion of indigenous manufacturing that has taken place since the 1980s, and even before,” Fenton writes. “While several economists have examined the situation in considerable detail to reveal the economic causes for the decline, not so much study has been made of the underlying cultural causes at both national and corporate level.”

“New Ways for Indigenous Manufacturing” uses a case study of the UK indigenous motor industry to point out the key reasons in the decline of indigenous manufacturing. The cultural critiques employed by Fenton have rarely been used to study the decline of a single manufacturer, a successor to many separate firms.

Four chapters examine manufacturing during and after the Industrial Revolution to emphasize the long-term effects of inborn cultures, and the final chapter suggests ways of changing cultures to revitalize manufacturing.  Read More
