Insights Into a Differentiating Trade/Investment
Global Strategy for Electronics
To better understand the U.S. administra-
tion's actions on global trade policies earlier
this spring, Barry Matties and Nolan John-
son met with Richard Cappetto, IPC's senior

nies in the recent trade activity. This could include increased
domestic manufacturing and supply chain diversification.
As a child in the late 1970s, I lived near
Fremont, California, the home of the GM
automotive manufacturing plant. At the
time, GM had a terrible reputation for

tary school. Each child received a pair of safety glasses before
our group was escorted around the plant with our teacher.

Dan's Biz Bookshelf: 'This Is
Strategy: Make Better Plans'
When it comes
to strategy, few

a mentor to me—
shaping the way I
think about lead-
ership, planning,
and execution.
His latest book, "This Is Strategy: Make
Better Plans," reinforces why he's a
beacon for anyone navigating the
murky waters of business strategy.
