Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1989. The international steel industry suffered a major decline after the onset of world recession in 1973, perhaps suffering more plant closures and job losses than any other sector. This book analyses the decline, surveying the various factors which have contributed to it, such as changing production strategies, changes in demand and world trade and changing regional production trends. It goes on to examine the impact of decline on steel-making communities, considering the various local, national and international initiatives to assist the affected areas and the way these initiatives have been devised and implemented. The authors conclude that none of these policies has satisfactorily resolved the crisis in the old steel producing areas and that a major crisis in these areas continues. Finally they discuss the social and political options open to these localities for the future.

This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current crisis facing the steel industry arose due to a combination of over-production in the global market, a strong pound and low prices. These recent pressures should be seen in the context of decades of declining production and employment in the UK, set against rising production of cheap steel elsewhere, notably China. The policy measures required to improve UK competitiveness are well established and broadly agreed but successive governments have not implemented them. It was the closure of the SSI plant at Redcar in early October 2015 that prompted a more urgent reaction from the Government. Its initial response focussed on compensating those affected rather than seeing what could be done to save the plant. Since then, the Government has begun to address some of the issues required to improve the competitiveness of UK steel, for example, by changing procurement guidelines and bringing forward the full implementation of measures to compensate energy intensive users. But the impact of this activity will not be felt in the industry for some time and, in the meantime, production is permanently diminished. Even when fully implemented, these measures should not be seen as the long-term answer. Industry and government should work together to identify what a future UK steel industry might look like and then take the necessary steps to achieve this vision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To survive, the UK steel industry needs to maintain its grip on its domestic market, and, because of the decline of the UK manufacturing sector, this will require the steel industry to increase its market share. This will be difficult, but recent trends in exchange rates favour UK competitiveness in EU markets. World markets are suffering from overcapacity and demand is rising only in developing markets such as Asia, where UK and EU industries generally cannot compete. In recent years, the strength of Sterling and the decline in the world manufacturing base, have adversely affected the UK steel industry. The Government should establish a steel forum to competitiveness issues with reference to the steel sector.

Download or read book The Renaissance of American Steel written by Roger S. Ahlbrandt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-11-07 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the 1980s, the once mighty U.S. steel industry seemed on its last legs. More than a quarter of a million jobs had been lost, and communities like Pittsburgh and Bethlehem were devastated. Yet today, the industry again stands as a world-class competitor. In The Renaissance of American Steel, Roger Ahlbrandt, Richard Fruehan, and Frank Giarratani illuminate the forces behind this remarkable comeback, drawing valuable lessons for managers not only in the steel business but in any business now battling the global marketplace. Citing evidence from a wide range of companies in the U.S., the U.K., and Japan, and clearly explaining the basics of steel production, the authors show how the industry's rebirth resulted both from the downsizing of big companies and the rise of minimills capturing markets from the larger companies. They describe how large, traditional firms--including U.S. Steel, British Steel, and Nippon Steel--recognized that they had to reduce the scope of their operations and reorganize to become more competitive. U.S. Steel CEO Tom Graham, for instance, closed plants and refocused the firm's resources on the market for flat-rolled products. The book also examines how minimills--such as Nucor, Birmingham Steel, Oregon Steel, Tokyo Steel, and Co-Steel Sheerness--have redefined the industry's structure and competitive dynamics. Nucor, in particular, has emerged as the leader among the minimills--the largest electric furnace-based steel company in the U.S., with annual sales exceeding $3 billion. The reader learns how CEO Ken Iverson, recognizing the opportunities to be seized if Nucor moved beyond traditional products (such as steel joists and rebar), created the most innovative steel mill in the world, with a consistent record of investing in new technologies to lower operating costs and to move into sophisticated, value-added products. Throughout the book, the authors offer sharp insights into the steel industry in the U.S. and abroad--but more important, they highlight the lessons to be learned for managers in all industries. The authors conclude, for instance, that success for both large and small steel producers depends on a critical interplay of factors that touch on leadership, new technologies, and decentralized management. Effective leaders, the authors find, don't micromanage; they set a goal for the company and communicate it broadly to gain employees' commitment. High-performing companies aggressively seek technical know-how, even if it means purchasing it from foreign competitors or securing joint agreements. And finally, successful companies decentralize, empowering employees far down in the organization to handle daily decisionmaking. This in-depth analysis of a radically changed industry speaks volumes about the value of flexibility in business. It is an essential resource for any manager working in today's global economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid nineteenth century a process began that appears, from a present-day perspective, to have been the first wave of economic globalization. Within a few decades global economic integration reached a level that equaled, and in some respects surpassed, that of the present day. This book describes the interpenetration of the German economy with an emerging global economy before the First World War, while also demonstrating the huge challenge posed by globalization to the society and politics of the German Empire. The stakes for both the winners and losers of the intensifying world market played a major role in dividing German society into camps with conflicting socio-economic priorities. As foreign trade policy moved into the center stage of political debates, the German government found it increasingly difficult to pursue a successful policy that avoided harming German exports and consumer interests while also seeking to placate a growing protectionist movement.
Download or read book The Steel Industry of China written by William Thomas Hogan and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China currently produces more crude steel than any other country in the world. This book, by an internationally acknowledged expert on the world steel industry, covers all aspects of the steel industry in China. It begins with an outline of the existing steel plants and smaller mills and describes four major mergers in the industry, which indicate a trend toward the consolidation of smaller plants into larger integrated units. Hogan analyzes the major steel markets--including the automotive industry, shipbuilding, appliances, railroads, construction, containers, and oil and gas--in terms of their recent growth, and examines China's raw-materials output. He presents new technologies being developed and used, and discusses the future of the Chinese steel industry. Hogan successfully argues, using historical and current data (much of it difficult to obtain), that one of the centers of recent Chinese industrial strength is its steel industry, which should be watched carefully. Steel industry analysts and scholars of global industry and economics will find this book invaluable.
