How has Industrial Production Changed?
Fordist – dominant mode of mass production
during the twentieth century, production of
consumer goods at a single site.
Post-Fordist – current mode of production with a
more flexible set of production practices in which
goods are not mass produced. Production is
accelerated and dispersed around the globe by
multinational companies that shift production,
outsourcing it around the world.
Modern Production
Outsourcing –
moving individual steps in the
production process (of a good
or a service) to a supplier, who
focuses their production and
offers a cost savings.
Offshore –
Outsourced work that is located
outside of the country.
Time-Space Compression
Through improvements in
transportation and
communications
technologies, many
places in the world are
more connected than
ever before.
Time-Space Compression
• Just-in-time delivery
rather than keeping a large
inventory of components or
products, companies keep just
what they need for short-term
production and new parts are
shipped quickly when needed.
Global division of labor
corporations can draw from
labor around the globe for
different components of
production.
New Influences on the
Geography of Manufacturing
• Transportation-intermodal connections where
air, rail, truck, ship and barge connect-eases
flow of goods-e.g. container shipping
• Regional and global trade agreements-WTO,
Benelux, European Union, NAFTA,
MERCOSUR, SAFTA, CARICOM, ANDEAN
AFTA, COMESA, etc. goal to ease flow of
goods by eliminating trade tariffs or quotas
• Energy-coal was replaced by natural gas & oil
after WW II-transported by pipeline or tanker
• Europe-despite North Sea Oil-still must import
• Mexico & Canada oil and natural gas
• U.S. uses 27% of oil & 37% of natural gas produced in
the world. Dependent on imported oil
• Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Russia large oil reserves
South Asia-India
• Blessed with large coal
deposits, metallic
minerals such as iron ore
and a vast labor force,
India is growing by 8%
year.
• Despite rapid
industrialization it still
remains agrarian and
underdeveloped due to a
poor infrastructure-over
50% of India’s crops rot
in the field due to a lack
of transportation
South Asia-India
• The Bihar Steel Mill in India
produces high quality steel at a
low price-the down side-low
pay, few environmental
restrictions=pollution.
• India’s service sector is also
growing very rapidly.
• The Delhi Call Center at right
is typical of the outsourcing
done by many Western firms.
• India has millions of low paid
blue-collar workers and
millions of white collar, high
tech. workers

Pre-Post Test Re-take
• In your last attempt to for the Practice AP Exam,
so the following will occur:
– It is graded, out of 10 points
• Raw score of 50+ = 15 points
• Score of 40+ = 12 points
• Score of 30+ = 10 points
• Score of less than 30 = 7 points
-THIS IS SERIOUS TO US teachers. You should
score AT LEAST a 30 out of 75 on this…
Where are the Major Industrial Belts in the
World Today and Why?
Idle steel mill in Pennsylvania, part of the American Rust Belt
Deindustrialization –
a process by which companies move industrial jobs to
other regions with cheaper labor, leaving the newly
deindustrialized region to switch to a service
economy and work through a period of high
unemployment.
Abandoned street
in Liverpool,
England, where the
population has
decreased by onethird since
deindustrialization
Newly Industrialized
China – major industrial growth after 1950-Soviet
planners helped from 1949 to 1964
Industrialization in the last half of 20th cent. was
state-owned and planned:
focus on: Northeast district-Dongbei
Shanghai and Chang district
Today, industrialization is spurred by companies
that move production (not the whole company) to
take advantage of Chinese labor and special
economic zones (SEZs). Rapid growth on the
Pacific Rim
As China’s economy
continues to grow, old
neighborhoods (right)
are destroyed to make
room for new
buildings (below).
Beijing, China
Left-Chinese industrial air
conditioner plant
Right-Singapore container
port
What is the Service Economy, and Where
are Services Concentrated?
• Service economy is activity
associated with provided
services such as
transportation, banking,
retailing, education and
office-based jobs.
• New Influences on
Location-less tied to energy
sources, information
technologies don’t need to
be close to market-some
personal services do need to
be near market
Wal-Mart
Requires producers of goods to locate offices in the
Bentonville, Arkansas (Wal-Mart’s headquarters) area
in order to negotiate deals with Wal-Mart.
Proctor & Gamble put their office in nearby Fayetteville,
Arkansas.
Nike-Headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, Nike has
never produced a shoe in Oregon. Beginning in the
1960s, Nike contracted with an Asian firm to produce
its shoes.
Skopje, Macedonia-The swoosh is ubiquitous, but where is the shoe
produced? Nike has a global network of international manufacturing and
sales.
Commanding Heights
• The 20th century was the story about the rise
an fall of planned economies.
• The Commanding Heights is heavy
industry: steel, coal, railroads.
• You will see the fall of planned economies
in the United Kingdom today.
• Pay attention!!!

High-Technology Corridors
• An area designated by local or state government to
benefit from lower taxes and high-technology
infrastructure with the goal of providing hightechnology jobs to the local population.
eg. Silicon breast Valley, California
• Technopole – an area planned for high technology
where agglomeration built on a synergy among
technological companies occurs.
eg. Route 128 corridor in Boston
Plano-Richardson, Texas
Telecom Corridor is just north of Dallas
Production of Televisions
• Three key elements in
television production:
– Research and design
– Manufacturing components
– Assembly
• Production of televisions
has shifted across the
world over time.
• Right-Zenith Plant in
Reynosa, Mexico
Electronic Computer Industry
• Computers and
computer parts
manufacturing
requires a highlyskilled labor force.
• It is concentrated in
the Northeast, South
and West Coast in
areas where
universities and
research facilities are
located.
Call Center in New Delhi, India-computer manufacturer for US & UK
Maquiladora in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico repairs telephones for AT&T
Motor Vehicle Parts
Plants
• American owned parts
plants are clustered near the
final assembly plants in the
Rust Belt.
• Foreign-owned plants tend
to be located further south,
where labor unions are
weaker, wages, taxes and
regulations are lower.
Change in Steel
Production,
1973–2002
• Steel production has
declined in the core
and increased in the
semiperiphery and
periphery,
especially in China,
India, Brazil and
South Korea
Steel Production,
1973 & 2002
• About 60% of global steel
production took place in
the Core in 2002
compared to 90% in
1973.
• Growth of steel
manufacturing in China
has been especially
dramatic.
