Global Sourcing Spotlight: The Myth of ‘Buying American’

01/10/2024 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing Spotlight
I know that "buying American" has been deeply ingrained in the American psyche for generations. It represents a sense of patriotism and loyalty to one's country, and it's often associated with the belief that purchasing products labeled as "Made in the USA" supports domestic industries and workers. However, this notion can be misleading and oversimplified. In reality, the global economy is far more interconnected than it appears, and many products labeled as American are, in fact, a blend of international components. This column explores 12 instances where you may think you're buying American but you’re not.

09/06/2023 | John Mitchell -- Column: One World, One Industry
Strategy is all about choices, and most often choosing what not to do. Too many organizations strive to do too much and because of that end up doing very little as well as they might have. We see this principle highlighted in many of the structural changes happening in major organizations. Very large companies are often splitting their organizations into separate divisions to allow focus or even spinning off portions of their business; again, focus is often the motivator.

The Shaughnessy Report: Slow And Steady Wins the Race

06/12/2023 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy Report
You’re probably wondering: Why is there a tortoise on the cover of Design007 Magazine this month? In one of the most popular Aesop’s Fables, 'The Tortoise and the Hare', the slow and steady reptile beat his much faster opponent by taking his time and persevering. Judging from what our expert contributors have to say in this issue, many PCB design problems could be precluded if designers simply took their time. (Yes, designers even called themselves out for this!)
