This book provides a broad investigation of various issues in East Asia’s steel industry since the 1980s, including international specialization and trade relations, the sustainable use of resources, technological innovations, and environmental mitigation, alongside a consideration of the rapid growth in Chinese steel industry. Using macro and firm-level data, and case studies based on field research to discuss issues concerning the steel industry in East Asia. In search of an easy understanding, we try to simplify complicated economic models and statistical analyses, and concentrate on policy implications based as much as possible on the results of empirical analyses. We believe that this book will be of interest to policymakers, economists, practitioners and advocates of sustainability.

This book explores the reasons for persistent differences in work practices both within and between industries. The authors found that the strategy that a firm chooses to follow often determines the kind of work practices it fosters. Therefore a firm may not adopt the approach now advocated by many management thinkers--in which decision-making is pushed down to the lowest level of the firm--because this choice may not be consistent with its competitive strategy. The authors discuss the ways that public policy can aid workers without subverting the strategic choices made by firms.

A paper reprint of the 1988 original. It is a political history that describes and analyzes the management of organized knowledge. Wheatley takes Flexner and the Carnegie Foundation of 1910 as the model. Portz (political science, Northeastern U.) combines a synthesis of the literature on urban politics and political economy with a close analysis of plant closings in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Louisville, Kentucky, and Waterloo, Iowa, to illuminate the complexity of, constraints upon, and range of local government efforts to control the economic damage caused by shutdowns.
