Innovation in Manufacturing: Driving Growth and Competitiveness

Dr. Robert D. Atkinson President Information Technology and Innovation Foundation

Presentation at Rockwell Automation Manufacturing Perspectives Chicago, Illinois

The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) is a Washington, D.C.-based think tank at the cutting edge of designing innovation policies and exploring how advances in technology will create new opportunities to boost economic growth and improve quality of life. ITIF focuses on:

National economic competitiveness; Innovation processes, policy, and metrics E-transformation (e.g., health, commerce, e-government) IT and economic productivity Science and technology policy Innovation and trade policy

Why Innovation is Key to Manufacturing Renewal

5 What Should Washington Do?

6 Why Hasn’t Washington Done More?

Had U.S. manufacturing grown at the same rate as the overall

economy over the past decade, the economy would have as many as 8 million more jobs. Manufacturing jobs pay 9% more than jobs in the overall

economy. Manufacturing accounts for 57% of U.S. exports. A 10%

increase in sales due to exports produces twice as many jobs as a 10% increase in domestic demand.

Manufacturing is a Key Driver of U.S. Economic Growth

Transistors in Intel Microprocessors 2.0 years

Microprocessor Clock Speed 2.7 years

The capacity of the network backbone has increased by 18 million % in the past decade. By 2020, average network speeds

are likely to be 3 million times greater than they were in 1990.

An increase in efficiency of 43

million. Of this, a factor of roughly 1,000 was due to increased processor speed, whereas a factor of roughly 43,000 was due to improvements in algorithms.

Economists Don’t “Get Manufacturing”

“America’s role is to feed a global economy that’s increasingly based on knowledge and services rather than on making stuff.” (Larry Summers)

Economists Don’t “Get Manufacturing”

“Any economist can tell you that this decline (in manufacturing) is not necessarily a cause for concern…We have become an ideas economy.” (Kevin Hassett, American Enterprise Institute)

“The notion that nations compete is incorrect… countries are not to any important degree in competition with each other.” (Paul Krugman)

35

Nor Competitiveness

“Potato chips, computer chips, what’s the difference.” (Bush I economic advisor, Michael Boskin)
