Mass customization has become the primary goal of manufacturers wanting to succeed in this changing business environment. Although it is not expected to be as influential as the mass production system that dominated in the early industrial revolution, the principles behind mass customization are powerful enough to surely transform business processes. Companies that want to mass customize should pay attention to structure and infrastructure issues.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- Three years ago, the managers of Slater Mill had to decide if their three-building complex was going to be a museum or a museum piece. They were the preservers of Samuel Slater's 1790s mill, the first mechanized, mass-production factory in the nation, enshrined as "The Birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution.

As a group, Arts and Crafts-era aficionados are a persnickety sort, especially when they're in the midst of restoring an old bungalow. These folks often go to the extreme when furnishing their historic homes. If they can't buy antiques, then they want their furnishings to look and feel 100 years old. And they accept nothing less than authentic, high-quality reproductions. An appreciation of quality and craftsmanship was, after all, the premise of the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 1900s - a philosophical response to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.

Despite its role in advancing mass production, the Model T Ford may have restored the American pioneering spirit that the Industrial Revolution had diluted. It seemed fitting that Bill Pfettscher, who for years operated a car repair business on Harmony Way and has a demonstrated knack for making news when he comes back to town, is making news with the help of a 1915 Model T touring car he's been close to all his life.

Industries, like businesses, have a life cycle. The growth stage of a new industry is marked by innovation, rapid growth, and larger profit margins with suppliers competing on quality. During the mature stage, production becomes concentrated where a few companies are engaged in mass production with small commodity profit margins. In the declining stage, we see companies closing and moving to regions with lower labor costs as suppliers begin to compete on price. Over a century past the textile industry was, for England and the United States, what the computer industry is for us today relative to the information revolution. It started with natural fibers. An innovative, growing business, textiles provided significant value to the market by creating new jobs and was considered a key indust...

Most scholars know little about the panic of 1792, America's first financial market crash, during which securities prices dropped nearly 25 percent in two weeks. Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton adroitly intervened to stem the crisis, minimizing its effect on the nascent nation's fragile economic and political systems. U.S. policymakers soon forgot the crisis-management techniques Hamilton invented but failed to codify. Many of them were later rediscovered and became theoretical and practical standards of modern central-bank crisis management. Hamilton, for example, formulated and implemented "Bagehot's rules" for central-bank crisis management eight decades before Walter Bagehot wrote about them in Lombard Street.

This paper presents a comparative study of economic freedom in five groups of countries: Free, Mostly Free, Islamic, Latin American, and a subset of EU member countries. The study includes 103 countries, and uses data from the 2007 Index of Economic Freedom. The paper tests for the statistical significance of the difference between group means for each of ten measures of economic freedom and for the overall freedom score. The empirical evidence shows that the Islamic countries have significantly less economic freedom than the other groups, and that they are the only group with declining economic freedom in the last 13 years.
