Editorial Reviews

Review

?Eckley identifies and evaluates trends in the erosion of the competitive position of the US capital goods industry vis-a-vis the world market. The author's basic analytical tool consists of in-depth analyses of 7 leading US firms. These analyses are supplemented by detailed observations on 50 of the 7 firms' leading competitors, as well as by monitoring the activities of another 50 firms influencing capital goods industry behavior. The resulting work is a timely and thought-provoking examination of this important segment of US industry, accounting for about one quarter of total manufacturing activity and some one third of total exports. Eckley concludes with specific and pertinent recommendations for restoring the US competitive position. Because most of the author's analysis is based on secondary sources, much of the material included has already appeared in print. However, his clean, crisp style and his ability to identify basic issues make this a book worth reading. Recommended collateral reading: Working Papers, MIT Commission on Industrial Productivity (2 v., 1989); Robert H. Hayes, Steven C. Wheelwright, and Kim B. Clark, Dynamic Manufacturing, and Kenichi Ohmae, The Borderless World. Academic and public library collections.?-Choice
