Apple, the superstar of innovation, locates its production in China (yet still reaps most of its profits in the United States). When innovation does not find the capital, skills, and expertise it needs to come to market in the United States, what does it mean for economic growth and job creation? Inspired by the MIT Made in America project of the 1980s, \u003ci\u003eMaking in America\u003c\/i\u003e brings experts from across MIT to focus on a critical problem for the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMIT scientists, engineers, social scientists, and management experts visited more than 250 firms in the United States, Germany, and China. In companies across America--from big defense contractors to small machine shops and new technology start-ups--these experts tried to learn how we can rebuild the industrial landscape to sustain an innovative economy. At each stop, they asked this basic question: \"When you have a new idea, how do you get it into the market?\" They found gaping holes and missing pieces in the industrial ecosystem. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven in an Internet-connected world, proximity to innovation and users matters for industry. \u003ci\u003eMaking in America \u003c\/i\u003edescribes ways to strengthen this connection, including public-private collaborations, new government-initiated manufacturing innovation institutes, and industry\/community college projects. If we can learn from these ongoing experiments in linking innovation to production, American manufacturing could have a renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzanne Berger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262528371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262528375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Suzanne Berger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074722427135,"sku":"9780262528375","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_975b407c-e710-4580-8436-ce8256fdc1d8.jpg?v=1685455396","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-in-america-suzanne-berger-9780262528375","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
