Northeast Ohio, with its large steel-producing factories, saw major declines in population base and tax revenues. This work looks at the postmanufacturing business climate in Northeast Ohio, whose major cities, Cleveland, Akron, and Youngstown, were faced with reinventing themselves and their industrial bases. Using an interview format, the book details how entrepreneurs saw opportunities to develop services and products in the area. Their stories illuminate the process of innovation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Bacher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1937378217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781937378219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Akron Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Thomas Bacher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46747675033855,"sku":"9781937378219","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47805fe8-4952-471b-8520-1c01fe8ecbdf.jpg?v=1743584403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-the-rust-belt-thomas-bacher-9781937378219","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
