Speech topics

The Pan-Industrial Revolution

What every business, investor, and policymaker needs to know about the rise of 3-D printing in manufacturing.

With the rise of 3-D printing in industrial production we are now in the early stages of an era of astounding business transformation, the biggest leap in manufacturing innovation since the assembly line. 3-D printing technology will reinvent business competition and give rise to a new kind of giant company, the pan-industrial (Jabil, GE, Siemens and United Technologies are among the top contenders), which will dominate the global economy and drive far-reaching social, political, and economic change. 

How will all of this come to pass? What must business leaders do to prepare? And how will these changes affect communities, nations, the global economy, the workplace, and our lives?

These are among the urgent questions explored in "THE PAN-INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: How New Manufacturing Titans Will Transform the World" by Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth professor Richard D’Aveni. He goes behind the closed doors of factories around the world to discover the most important transformation of our times.
