The article actually supposes that large businesses really care to think locally. If a business can shut down a factory in Michigan and reopen in China for some perceived cost advantage or switch from a local supplier to a foreign one, think locally isnt going to produce anything. I would posit that rethinking manufacturing (entrepreneurially) to take advantage of our skilled workforce and superior design capabilities would be the way to go. One suggestion did make sense: reduce the influence of stock based incentives. Even more importantly, get away from decisions being driven by quarterly reports.
