| Abstract: | At a time when the optics industry of Rochester, New York, is under intense foreign competition, the community is pulling together around three core competencies - of the community: shared technological competence to create a breakthrough in optics manufacturing, a community-wide quality movement, and a revolution in education. Together these define Rochester's emerging strategy, which suggests that competitiveness in a global economy may ultimately reside at the local level. Three episodes illustrate how Rochester business and community leaders are pulling together: a lab at the University of Rochester, Trident Tool, an USD 15 million company , and the Rochester school district. |
