Description
Summary:Given layoffs, plant relocations, offshore operations and the decline of manufacturing in general, the mass media and public opinion are pointing a finger at big industry for its predatory behavior. Even as multinational corporations are relocating plants, using them like a mere means in the quest to maximize profit, some big industrial groups have decided to invest in the land and back local networks of small and midsize businesses. Which groups are doing this? What are their intentions and means of action? What impact will their interventions have on the land and local authorities? Based on the thesis written by these two engineering students, this description of the actions, motivations and interests of these groups seeks to understand why their local initiatives, though durable, are still of moderate scope.
