Flexibility in offshore assembly operations : electronics assembly in the Commonwealth Caribbean

Benjamin M. I. Goss ; Daniel C. Knudsen

After examining the concept of flexibilism and how it is characterized in US manufacturing, the authors trace the movements of US electronics manufacturing activity offshore to the Commonwealth Caribbean. They show that the sections of the industry which continue to reside offshore are those most receptive to inputs of cheap labor. (DÜI-Sen)
