Abstract

No matter how sharp the disagreements of the 1992 presidential election campaign nor who wins the election, one outcome is certain: in the next administration, the United States will have an industrial policy. Unfortunately, this national industrial policy will be vague, confusing, highly politicized--and frequently ineffective. It will be government intervention driven by special interests rather than by strategic intent. Managers may be better off learning how to live with a haphazard industrial policy in the end--minimizing the negative impacts of such a policy on their own companies and industries.
