"There is nothing inevitable about the decline of American manufacturing. The path to renewal is through innovation. We cannot win the battle to be the lowest-cost producer, but we can win by designing and manufacturing the cutting-edge, high-tech, precision products of the future."

- Chris Trimble, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth
