Key Issue #4
   Global perspective
     Stagnant demand
     Increased capacity
   More developed countries
     Trading blocs
     Disparities within trading blocs
   Less developed countries
     Old problems for LDCs
     New problems for LDCs
 From the Industrial Revolution’s
  beginnings in the late 1700s until the
  1970s, industrial growth in MDCs was
  fueled by long-term increases in
  population and wealth.
 The growth formula was simple: More
  people with more wealth demanded
  more industrial goods.
 However, demand for many
  manufactured goods has slowed in MDCs
  during the past quarter century.
 More developed countries now have
  little, if any, population growth.
 Wages have not risen as fast as prices
  during the past two decades.
Fig. 11-21a: The U.S., Soviet Union, and Japan were the largest steel
             producers in 1980, and with the rest of Europe, accounted for 80%
             of global steel production.
 While demand for products such as steel has stagnated during
  the past quarter century, global capacity to produce them has
  increased.
 Higher industrial capacity is primarily a result of two trends: the
  global diffusion of the Industrial Revolution and the desire by
  individual countries to maintain their production despite a global
  overcapacity.
 Historically, manufacturing was concentrated in a few locations.
 Industrial growth through increased international sales was
  feasible when most of the world was organized into colonies and
  territories controlled by MDCs.
 Few colonies remain in the world today, and nearly every
  independent country wants to establish its own industrial base.
Fig. 11-21b: About 40% of global steel
             production took place in
             MDCs in 2008, compared to
             80% in 1980. Growth of
             steel manufacturing in
             China has been especially
             dramatic.
Fig. 11-21c: Steel production has generally declined in MDCs and increased in
             LDCs, especially in China, India, Brazil, and South Korea.
   Countries at all levels of
    development face a similar
    challenge: to make their
    industries competitive in an
    increasingly integrated global
    economy.

   Each state faces distinctive
    geographical issues in
    ensuring that their industries
    compete effectively.
   Industrial competition in the more developed world
    increasingly occurs not among individual countries, but within
    regional trading blocs.
   The three most important trading blocs are the Western
    Hemisphere, Western Europe, and East Asia.
   Within each bloc, countries cooperate in trade.
   Each bloc then competes against the other two.
 The North American Free Trade
  Agreement brought Mexico into the
  free trade zone with the United States
  and Canada.
 The three NAFTA partners have been
  negotiating with other Latin American
  countries.
 The European Union has eliminated
  most barriers to trade through Western
  Europe.
 Cooperation among countries is less
  formal in East Asia, in part because
  Japan’s neighbors have much lower
  levels of economic development and
  unpleasant memories of Japanese
  military aggression during the 1930s
  and 1940s.
   Manufacturing in Mexico has moved north to be
    close to the USA market
   Program to create jobs for Mexican farmers no
    longer able to make a living
   Assemble parts and ship the finished product
    back to the USA
   Benefit from NAFTA which has eliminated trade
    restrictions
   Example of special economic zone
     Region offering special tax breaks, eased restrictions,
      and other incentives to attract foreign business and
      investment
Duty-Free Production
 Cooperation & competition within and among trading blocs take
  place primarily through the actions of transnational corporations,
  also called multinational corporations.
 Initially, transnational corporations were primarily American-
  owned, but in recent years especially Japan, Germany, France, and
  the UK have been active as well.
 Transnational corporations locate factories in other countries to:
   Expand their markets.
   Take advantage of lower site factors to reduce their production
      cost (labor).
 Japanese transnational corporations have been especially active in
  the U.S. in recent years.
 Most plants have been located in a handful of interior states,
  including Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee, and
  Illinois. German transnationals have clustered in the Carolinas.
Chapter11 KeyIssue4
   One country or region within a country may have lower levels
    of income and amenities because it has less industry than other
    countries or regions within the trading bloc.
 Europe’s most important                Disparities exist at the scale of
  industrial areas, such as western       the individual country as well.
  Germany and northern Italy, are
  relatively wealthy.
                                         Industry is concentrated in the
 The European Union, through its         regions most accessible to
  European Regional Development
  Fund, assists its three least           Western Europe’s core of
  industrialized member                   population, wealth, and
  countries—Greece, Ireland, and          industry.
  Portugal—as well as regions in
  three other countries that lack
  industrial investment—Northern         Germany has had a particularly
  Ireland (part of the United             difficult problem with regional
  Kingdom), southern Italy, and           disparities, a legacy of
  most of Spain.                          Communist-run East Germany
 A number of Western European            (German Democratic
  countries use incentives to lure        Republic).
  industry into poorer regions and
  discourage growth in the richer
  regions.
   The South, historically the poorest U.S. region, has had the most
    rapid growth since the 1930s, stimulated partly by government
    policy and partly by changing site factors.
   The Northeast claims that development in the South has been at
    the expense of old industrialized communities in New England and
    the Great Lakes states.
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.
   Division of the manufacturing process across
    several countries, where in different pieces of
    the product are made in different countries,
    and then pieces are assembled in yet another
    country.
   Specialization in particular kinds of economic
    activities …
     of different people
     of different regions

   Geographic division of labor
     “Spatial justice”
     How fairly are the world’s resources distributed
      geographically?
   High tech companies have been outsourcing
    many of their technical support and other
    tertiary jobs to India
     Call centers, advanced IT services, etc…


   In the Philippines, special electronic
    “enterprise zones” have been created with
    international telephone rates for companies
    specializing in telemarketing
   Traditionally in large factories,
    each worker was assigned one
    specific task to perform
    repeatedly (assembly line).
   Some geographers call this
    approach Fordist, because the
    Ford Motor Company was one
    of the first to organize its
    production this way.
   Relatively skilled workers are
    needed to master the wider
    variety of assignments given
    them under more flexible
    post-Fordist work rules.
• The Fordist production
  plan was pioneered by
  Henry Ford and
  suggested that
  production be done in a
  mass assembly line.
• Currently the world
  economy is in a post-
  Fordist system where
  goods are not mass
  produced and are
  dispersed around the
  globe
Chapter11 KeyIssue4
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.
   The shipment of parts and materials to a
    factory immediately before they are needed.
   Avoids stocking expensive, unnecessary
    inventory allowing for smaller factories
   Two possible disruptions:
     Labor Unrest
     “Acts of God”
   For any kind of spatial interaction to occur
    between two places, there must be a demand
    in one place and a supply that matches, or
    complements, it in the other.
   The flow of crude oil from Saudi Arabia (with
    vast oil reserves) t0 Japan (with none) is a
    function of complementarity in natural
    resources
   Knox, p. 27
   Cost advantages to manufacturers that accrue from
    high-volume production, since the average cost of
    production falls with increasing output.
   Economies of scale are factors that cause the average
    cost of producing something to fall as the volume of
    its output increases. Hence it might cost $3,000 to
    produce 100 copies of a magazine but only $4,000 to
    produce 1,000 copies. The average cost in this case
    has fallen from $30 to $4 a copy because the main
    elements of cost in producing a magazine (editorial
    and design) are unrelated to the number of magazines
    produced.
   Knox, p. 28

Chapter11 KeyIssue4

  • 2. Global perspective  Stagnant demand  Increased capacity  More developed countries  Trading blocs  Disparities within trading blocs  Less developed countries  Old problems for LDCs  New problems for LDCs
  • 3.  From the Industrial Revolution’s beginnings in the late 1700s until the 1970s, industrial growth in MDCs was fueled by long-term increases in population and wealth.  The growth formula was simple: More people with more wealth demanded more industrial goods.  However, demand for many manufactured goods has slowed in MDCs during the past quarter century.  More developed countries now have little, if any, population growth.  Wages have not risen as fast as prices during the past two decades.
  • 4. Fig. 11-21a: The U.S., Soviet Union, and Japan were the largest steel producers in 1980, and with the rest of Europe, accounted for 80% of global steel production.
  • 5.  While demand for products such as steel has stagnated during the past quarter century, global capacity to produce them has increased.  Higher industrial capacity is primarily a result of two trends: the global diffusion of the Industrial Revolution and the desire by individual countries to maintain their production despite a global overcapacity.  Historically, manufacturing was concentrated in a few locations.  Industrial growth through increased international sales was feasible when most of the world was organized into colonies and territories controlled by MDCs.  Few colonies remain in the world today, and nearly every independent country wants to establish its own industrial base.
  • 6. Fig. 11-21b: About 40% of global steel production took place in MDCs in 2008, compared to 80% in 1980. Growth of steel manufacturing in China has been especially dramatic.
  • 7. Fig. 11-21c: Steel production has generally declined in MDCs and increased in LDCs, especially in China, India, Brazil, and South Korea.
  • 8. Countries at all levels of development face a similar challenge: to make their industries competitive in an increasingly integrated global economy.  Each state faces distinctive geographical issues in ensuring that their industries compete effectively.
  • 9. Industrial competition in the more developed world increasingly occurs not among individual countries, but within regional trading blocs.  The three most important trading blocs are the Western Hemisphere, Western Europe, and East Asia.  Within each bloc, countries cooperate in trade.  Each bloc then competes against the other two.
  • 10.  The North American Free Trade Agreement brought Mexico into the free trade zone with the United States and Canada.  The three NAFTA partners have been negotiating with other Latin American countries.  The European Union has eliminated most barriers to trade through Western Europe.  Cooperation among countries is less formal in East Asia, in part because Japan’s neighbors have much lower levels of economic development and unpleasant memories of Japanese military aggression during the 1930s and 1940s.
  • 11. Manufacturing in Mexico has moved north to be close to the USA market  Program to create jobs for Mexican farmers no longer able to make a living  Assemble parts and ship the finished product back to the USA  Benefit from NAFTA which has eliminated trade restrictions  Example of special economic zone  Region offering special tax breaks, eased restrictions, and other incentives to attract foreign business and investment
  • 13.  Cooperation & competition within and among trading blocs take place primarily through the actions of transnational corporations, also called multinational corporations.  Initially, transnational corporations were primarily American- owned, but in recent years especially Japan, Germany, France, and the UK have been active as well.  Transnational corporations locate factories in other countries to:  Expand their markets.  Take advantage of lower site factors to reduce their production cost (labor).  Japanese transnational corporations have been especially active in the U.S. in recent years.  Most plants have been located in a handful of interior states, including Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee, and Illinois. German transnationals have clustered in the Carolinas.
  • 15. One country or region within a country may have lower levels of income and amenities because it has less industry than other countries or regions within the trading bloc.
  • 16.  Europe’s most important  Disparities exist at the scale of industrial areas, such as western the individual country as well. Germany and northern Italy, are relatively wealthy.  Industry is concentrated in the  The European Union, through its regions most accessible to European Regional Development Fund, assists its three least Western Europe’s core of industrialized member population, wealth, and countries—Greece, Ireland, and industry.

Communist-run East Germany  A number of Western European (German Democratic countries use incentives to lure Republic). industry into poorer regions and discourage growth in the richer regions.
  • 17. The South, historically the poorest U.S. region, has had the most rapid growth since the 1930s, stimulated partly by government policy and partly by changing site factors.  The Northeast claims that development in the South has been at the expense of old industrialized communities in New England and the Great Lakes states.
  • 18. 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.
  • 19. Division of the manufacturing process across several countries, where in different pieces of the product are made in different countries, and then pieces are assembled in yet another country.  Specialization in particular kinds of economic activities …  of different people  of different regions  Geographic division of labor  “Spatial justice”  How fairly are the world’s resources distributed geographically?
  • 20. High tech companies have been outsourcing many of their technical support and other tertiary jobs to India  Call centers, advanced IT services, etc…  In the Philippines, special electronic “enterprise zones” have been created with international telephone rates for companies specializing in telemarketing
  • 21. Traditionally in large factories, each worker was assigned one specific task to perform repeatedly (assembly line).  Some geographers call this approach Fordist, because the Ford Motor Company was one of the first to organize its production this way.  Relatively skilled workers are needed to master the wider variety of assignments given them under more flexible post-Fordist work rules.
  • 22. • The Fordist production plan was pioneered by Henry Ford and suggested that production be done in a mass assembly line. • Currently the world economy is in a post- Fordist system where goods are not mass produced and are dispersed around the globe
  • 24. 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.
  • 25. The shipment of parts and materials to a factory immediately before they are needed.  Avoids stocking expensive, unnecessary inventory allowing for smaller factories  Two possible disruptions:  Labor Unrest  “Acts of God”
  • 26. For any kind of spatial interaction to occur between two places, there must be a demand in one place and a supply that matches, or complements, it in the other.  The flow of crude oil from Saudi Arabia (with vast oil reserves) t0 Japan (with none) is a function of complementarity in natural resources  Knox, p. 27
  • 27. Cost advantages to manufacturers that accrue from high-volume production, since the average cost of production falls with increasing output.  Economies of scale are factors that cause the average cost of producing something to fall as the volume of its output increases. Hence it might cost $3,000 to produce 100 copies of a magazine but only $4,000 to produce 1,000 copies. The average cost in this case has fallen from $30 to $4 a copy because the main elements of cost in producing a magazine (editorial and design) are unrelated to the number of magazines produced.  Knox, p. 28
