Abstract: Abstract Given the conclusion of the previous chapter, it is fair to ask, “How do UK manufacturers compete?” First, we generally think that relating UK manufacturing success to (on top of the necessary macroeconomic policies) value added, innovation, business model and ecosystems is broadly correct. However, we disagree with how these are interpreted. We propose the reality of manufacturing success in the UK (and many other advanced or post-industrial economies) is more complicated and nuanced than much of the extant research would have us believe. In this chapter we offer an alternative approach—one that complements rather than rejects entirely the extant literature. We will support our contentions with case examples.
