The intent of the new edition is to survey the overall workings of industrial systems while highlighting the individual skills needed to make an enterprise work better. Implementation of this intent led to extensive revisions. Presentations in some areas are more succinct to allow greater coverage of recent developments. Added attention is devoted to managerial practices and techniques of general applicability. Interactions among consumers, government, and industry are explored to help anticipate industrial challenges of the 1980s.
