The “valley of death” – the gap between basic research and the commercialization of new products – is a chasm too wide to cross for many US manufacturers, especially those in small and medium-sized businesses. Not so for Germany’s thriving manufacturing sector, which benefits from a top-down culture built on innovation. The Brookings Institution’s intriguing report shows how the United States can prepare for a manufacturing renaissance by nurturing innovation through government, industry and civic cooperation. getAbstract recommends this informative study to manufacturing executives, policy makers, educators and researchers.
