This document outlines a dynamic new approach to Newfoundland & Labrador government support for the province's small-scale manufacturing sector. Introductory sections review the importance of manufacturing in the local economy, the role of small-scale manufacturing in the new economy, and the three components of the study approach. Section 3 presents findings of each component. The first component is a global trends analysis that looks at changes in manufacturing due to globalization that are propelling a shift in business development strategy away from vertical integration. The second component involves case studies of small-scale manufacturing experience in Newfoundland & Labrador and three other island jurisdictions (Iceland, Isle of Man, Prince Edward Island). The final component collected baseline data and analyzed government support for manufacturing in similar maritime jurisdictions, other resource-dependent regions of Canada & the United States, and Ireland. Factors involving specific conditions required for manufacturing sector development are discussed, and best practices are identified. Finally, strategies for action to encourage small-scale manufacturing development are presented.
