1. On Global Manufacturing Renaissance Party One AComparative Study in the Renaissance of the 12 thCentury & the Renaissance of the 21 thCentury Dr. Jin Lu, Director EXUPOLI.net 2011 10 27

Our own generation enjoys the legacy bequeathed to it by that which preceded it. We frequently know more, not because we have moved ahead by our own natural ability, but because we are supported by the menial strength of others, and possess riches that we have inherited from our forefathers. Bernard of Clairvaux used to compare us topunt dwarfs perched on the shoulders of giants.He pointed out that we see more and farther than our predecessors, not because we have keener vision or greater height, but because we are lifted up and borne aloft on their gigantic stature.

Jin Lu received B.S. and M.S in Mechanical Eng. from CSU (P.R. China). Dr. Jin Lu received Ph.D. in Optics, mechanical and electronics engineering from University of Ghent (Belgium) in 1994. He was post doctorial research follows in BECETL & IMM UC San Diego in 1995 and CAMT U. Sydney Australia in 1996.

Dr. Jin Lu founded EXUPOLI.net in January 2009, after Nortel Networks went into chapter 11, to seek the solutions for the poor sustainability of Canadian Tech Businesses. The early work was focus ontunable laser technologies , both patents & known-hows.

From Globalization to Global Manufacturing Renaissance (Introduction)

Party One:AComparative Study in the Renaissance of the 12 thCentury & the Renaissance of the 21 thCentury

Party Two: Currency Wars from Plaza Accord to Competitive Devaluation

Party Three: Manufacturing Renaissance in USA

Party Four: Global Manufacturing Renaissance

Party Five: Robotics in Science Fiction or Reality?

Conclusions

Globalization: the diminution or elimination of state-enforced restrictions on exchanges across borders and the increasingly integrated and complex global system of production and exchange that has emerged as a result [1]

the word "globalization" was first employed in a publication entitled Towards New Education in 1930, to denote a holistic view of human experience in education (Oxford English Dictionary)

Global Manufacturing Renaissance: the complements of globalization by harmonizing the industrial relationships from uncontrolled marketing competitions to rational laws of the global business ecosystem (defined by Dr. Jin Lu, 6:50 AM, Saturday, October 29, 2011 in the office of EXUPOLI.net, Ottawa, Ontario Canada)

Comparative Study of R12 & R21

R21 Anticipations

Conclusions from the comparative Study

R12 was a period ofmany changesat the outset of the High Middle Ages, including social, political and economic transformations, and anintellectual revitalizationof Western Europe withstrong philosophical and scientific roots .

These changespaved the wayto later achievements such as the literary and artistic movement of the ItalianRenaissance in the 15 thcentury (R15)and thescientific developments of the 17 thcentury (SD17) .

P olitics &S cholasticism [A.1]

R12 built on the spread of monasticism and the associated increase in literacy by"wandering scholars"who traveled from country to country

Legendary King Arthur: the King of Round Table & Knights of the Round Table - implying that everyone who sits there has equal status

Translation from other cultures, especially ancient Greek works to Latin (from Islam), was an important aspect of both R12, focused almost entirely on translating and studying Greek and Arabic works of natural science, philosophy and mathematics

Trade & Commerce

The Power of Merchants

The nobility in Europe held power during the 12th century, but the merchant class (guilds) pumped money into the economy through trade, which strongly influenced the politics of the time

Religious Commerce: The Church owned a great deal of land all over Europe, including farmland. It sells the agriculture products at the local market.

Sea Travel (Europe): Open sea and rivers allowed easier haulage of goods (muddy and pothole-ridden roads made overland transportation difficult). Italy dominated (its expertise in the field and its banking system).

Students were eager for knowledge and sought it out with enthusiasm & the most advanced scholars knew that the Muslims of Islamic civilization had great storehouses of knowledge

They increased contact with the Islamic world in Spain, Sicily & Constantinople, which allowed Europeans to seek and translate the works of Hellenic and Islamic philosophers and scientists, especiallythe works of Aristotle (c. 4 thBCE)

Medieval university laid far greater emphasis on science than does its modern counterpart and descendent

The western Europe of R12 can be characterized as a flowering of civilization (humanism) with spreading of religious faith, increasing of the literacy & implementing laws & orders

Increasing of the trade & commerce stimulated the population growth and the public desires of the politics & economics involvements from guilds & churches

The achievements in A&S&T filled the gaps between that of Ancient Greeks & High Middle Age, which contributes to the future developments of A&S&T in R15 & SD17

The above achievements encouraged the politics reforms, enforced by highest politics & religious Leaders

Problem: Globalization moves manufacture jobs from developed economy into developing one, which leads the imbalance of the global trade that trigged the global recession in 2009

Dr. George M. C. Fisher pointed out two key aspects in R21

Assessing technology from a humanist perspective will be the greatest challenge we face

If competitors can cooperate creatively, so can business and government

R21 is a time of rethinking and optimism. Successful sciences & engineering have redefined the publics expectations of what we can accomplish, especially how can we advance information technology to complement the self-correcting mechanisms of the Capitalist system

Our Ultimate Objective Is to Provide More and Better Jobs for Our Citizens ,(- THE CANNES ACTION PLAN FOR GROWTH AND JOBS).

Globalization is the process by which markets integrate worldwide, which is driving up peoples expectations, creating new sources of competitions for businesses and opening new opportunities for the growth of the world wealth.

The Age of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

In 2007, U.S. nonfarm businesses with employees spent a total of $264.2 billion (1.88% GDP) on noncapitalized and capitalized ICT equipment, including computer software (U.S. Census Bureau).

World Map of ICT Expenditure in 2005(USA 100%)

M anufacturingJob Loss es in Developed Economy

U.S. Manufacturing job losses: 20% since 2000

The share of Manufacturing jobs in Canada, declined from 14.9% in 1998 to 14.4% in 2004 before falling sharply to 11.5% in 2008

EUs total employment shrinks between 2000 and 2005, at an average of 1.1 % a year or a loss of 2.3 million jobs

Between May 1999 and May 2009, employment in the private sector only rose by 1.1%

Without a decade of growing government support from rising health and education spending and soaring budget deficits, the labor market would have been flat on its back.

To devote public funding to developing infrastructure and the technological base of the U.S. economy with the specific goal of restoring competitiveness and expanding employment in the tradable sector

The tax structure needs to be simplified and reconfigured to promote competitiveness, investment, and employment

The United States will have to experiment its way forward

EU:Manufacture counts 17 % as total employment, but productivity diff. (12:1) (Old:New Member States)

Japan: 90% of Japans exports, but lost about 30% Manufacture Jobs from 1994 to 2008

Car sales in India fell 23.8% in October (2011), the biggest monthly percentage decline since December 2000

More Students to China

Translation Manufacturing Knowledge from Chinese to English

Selected Readings for R21 (China)

Humanity Perspectives to Justify the Integrating Markets (G20 Meetings, UN, EU, etc.)

The Similarities of R12 & R21 are Humanity,Democracy, Multidimensional Trade/Commerce, Education & Translation

The Differences are much Sophistic High Technologies in R21, especially with Internet & Data Processing Capacity for Controlling Market Integrating Processes from Humanity Perspective

THE CANNES ACTION PLAN FOR GROWTH AND JOBS is Good Starting Point

The first universities (University of Bologna (1088), University of Paris (teach. mid-11th century, recogn. 1150), University of Oxford (teach. 1096, recogn. 1167), University of Modena (1175), University of Palencia (1208), University of Cambridge (1209),

The people who inhabited western Europe produced great leaders who gave form to their aspirations. These leaders were supported by public opinion which for the most part was much more homogenous than it is today.

St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1152) were almost entirely dependent upon public opinion.

PETER ABELARD (1079-1143) was a great teacher because he had an eager audience -- he could hardly live without the students who came from all over Europe to attend his classes at Paris.
