USA
INTRODUCTION
The United States of America is the most powerful country regarding the economy ranking, the political weight internationally, and its military power. Since 1772, and its independence date, America has fostering the democracy and the development of its economical model, which is the free market economy. Considering, the economic freedom index it ranks on top, but not at the first position. Moreover, in the risk analysis country, it ranks at the state of a safe country to invest in, regarding its political stability, and easy way to invest and transfer capital in and out from this country. Consequently, as its economical lead, it has led the shipbuilding industry during the last century. Thus, as exporting represents a main part of its GDP, shipbuilding is vital to a good export strategy. Indeed, shipping is inherent to its international trade activity. The shipbuilding industry occupied a significant part of its GDP. Consequently, it is still one of the worldwide leaders. Even though, they have lost their leads to Asian countries in the 1990s decades (OECD report, 2012).
The US shipbuilding industry could be divided up into two segments, the shipbuilding and the ship repair: The shipbuilding industry has the biggest weight among the two of them, with 69,4% of the revenue. The two main categories of ships are military ships, as the US has the most important Navy in the world. Moreover, the commercial vessels play an important role-play in the international trade scene.

The shipbuilding industry in the US has also suffered from the global economy slump, with a loss in employment. However, it recovered in 2011 with an increase in employment. The US shipbuilding industr...

...e for the US. Indeed, the skilled workers productivity and subsidies provided by states are consequential obstacles that American players cannot face those challenges on their own. They will need the government to intervene in their favour to stay competitive. (Wilkerson, 2011)
Within the marketing standpoint, to survive in this industry the US has to spot a niche market within the international shipbuilding industry to retake market share on a global basis. Furthermore, as we have seen previously, the US legislation is very protectionist towards its national champions. This will allow them to have plenty of time to come up with a sustainable strategy for the next year. Indeed, the analysis of the civil shipbuilding industry is in a fairly bad position. If they do not react quickly the industry is in danger regarding its sustainability. (Wilkerson, 2011)
Shipping goods through Detroit to the Port of Halifax provides the opportunity to use vacated industrial centers by repurposing these facilities for transshipment and manufacturing. Detroit as a transshipment hub provides a distribution system for goods to move to worldwide markets. Many manufacturers have failed due to a lack of an adequat...
The Civil War consisted of many legendary battles over the soil of the United and Confederate States of America, which will be retold for generations in history books. Although these land battles were indeed great, the concept of this paper will be the Naval warfare of the Civil War, paying certain attention to the battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac.
The amount of government regulation, restriction, and intervention in the economy is substantial. No free markets, and rapid innovations in technology and communications, the need for government intervention in the economy is necessary to correct abuses or to promote general welfare.
Globalization is a force that has affected both unitary and federal systems around the world. Individual states have adapted to trade within these international markets in order to experience economic prosperity. While globalization has affected national economic structures, it has also taken a foothold on public policies within states. However, how these policies are affected varies from state to state. As
The U.S. industries have been outsourcing manufacturing for several decades now. U.S. companies thought they were reducing costs by outsourcing development, manufacturing, and process-engineering abilities. Consequently, U.S. corporations’ knowledge, skilled workers, and supply chain, which are the necessities to producing advanced products, have vanished. For example, almost all notebook computers, cell phones, and handheld devices, which were once created in the U.S., are now designed in Asia. When a major U.S. company outsource, it pressures their rivals to do the same thing. They also lose the expertise of process engineering, which would interact with manufacturing on a daily basis. Minor companies and skilled workers go to where the jobs and knowledge networks are no matter where they are geographically in the world. This decline of trade in the U.S. has caused a negative chain reaction to their suppliers of sophisticated materials, tools, production equipment, and components. U.S. industries do not have a way of coming up with new ideas for the next generation of high-tech products...
Trade was important to the Maritimes. Up to 1846 Britain had provided the British North American colonies with a market for their goods, but then began a policy of free trade. Because there were no tariffs placed on any country the colonies lost a sure market for their goods. Many colonists were concerned that some might consider union with the United States and the British North American colonies was brisk with large amounts of lumber and grain being imported by the U.S. When the Americans ended the Reciprocity Treaty in 1865, many Maritimers became uneasy about the economic future. It became apparent that in order to develop thriving trade; new economic links would have to be developed. 3
Ocean shipping probably will meet with the pirates, which could lead to economic losses. Technology How to make the vessel keep efficiency by using less fuel, so company could cut the cost. Environment Wrecking on a rock, meeting with tsunami or rainstorm and so on when sailing. o Five – Forces • Threat of new entrants Low, because of high capital demand. Power of suppliers High, because of the vessels manufacturing, fuel price, and labor cost because these factors are all have no substitutes.
Gaining a substantial market power in the commercial aviation industry allows for significant impact on technological development, economic growth, employment, and national prestige (Carbaugh & Olienyk 2004). In 2010, more than any manufacturer sector, the value of aerospace industry shipment in the US accounted for more than $171 billion of civil aircraft and a trade surplus of more than $43 billion (Harrison 2011). Like any other industry, large commercial airplane industry gets affected by macro, endogenous, and exogenous factors. Several factors may influence the industry i...

When the war ended, the military’s demand for airplanes ceased. Even civilian planes met limited demand. Boeing Airplane Co. was competing with war-surplus airplanes. In order to survive, the company began building furniture and sea sleds. Although Boeing received limit...
In the last few decades, America’s automotive industry has been losing revenue, decline of market share, and employment reduction but international business in the auto industry has been the opposite. For instance, General Motors (GM) have been doing poor in the automotive business while Honda, a Japanese manufacture have been increasing their sales, market shares and employment.
Government policy environment – a desire to reduce unemployment and make the economy attractive to inward investment as a source of employment and long-term growth
The authors try to emphasize the importance of new growth dynamics for containerization not just for being a transport unit but also as a supply or commodity chain unit as well. The group of authors also briefly explain that Containerized freight is commonly characterized by the movement of manufactured goods and parts from manufacturing facilities to retail activities with the whole range of distribution activities in between, such as terminals and distribution centers. The way containerized freight is used is a benefit in multiple ways from the space flexibility to movement of goods shown in terms of distribution efficiency. Containerization dynamics has for some time relied on a variety of factors that are noted as being derived volume linked with globalization, the substitution of break-bulk traffic into

It is in my opinion that government intervention, though necessary in certain circumstances, should be largely limited to its role in protecting property rights, upholding the rule of law, and maintaining the value of the currency. The market itself is best at deciding how and when to manufacture its goods and it is unnecessary for the government to step in to try and improve the efficiency of the economy. One should look to the entrepreneurial creativity of millions who are willing to risk their own resources and reputations in order to progress our country. Before you place your trust in such entrepreneurs however, you should gain an understanding of the differences between political and market entrepreneurship as well as how government subsidies can undermine our economy in such a deceitful manner.
