Abstract
The responsibility for the current economic malaise rests primarily with the failure of U.S. managers to keep their companies technologically competitive. Their short-term principles predispose managers toward imitative versus innovative product design, backward integration versus striking out in innovative directions, and appropriation of technology through purchase rather than in-house equipment design and development. Renewed excellence requires informed leaders who can take the long view, and financial controls with a longer-term emphasis. McKinsey Award Winner.
