Sander’s Learning Objective 1. Tracing the development of the Industrial Revolution to Technological Innovations 2. Discussing its spread across the landscape Industrial Revolution 10

Two great economic “revolutions” occurred in human development Agricultural Revolution -- Domestication of plants and animals occurred in our dim prehistory (8, 000 bc approx. ) – Ultimately resulted in a huge increase in human population – Greatly accelerated modification of the physical environment – Resulted in major cultural readjustments Industrial Revolution 11

Two great economic “revolutions” occurred in human development The Industrial Revolution, started in the eighteenth century, is still taking place today – Involves a series of inventions leading to the use of machines and inanimate power in the manufacturing process – Suddenly whole societies could engage in seemingly limitless multiplication of goods and services – Rapid bursts of human inventiveness followed – Gigantic population increases Industrial Revolution 12

Two great economic “revolutions” occurred in human development The Industrial Revolution, started in the eighteenth century, is still taking place today – Massive, often unsettling, remodeling of the environment (human and physical) – Today, few lands remain largely untouched by its machines, factories, transportation devices, and communication techniques – On an individual level, no facet of North American life remains unaffected – Just about every object and every event in your life is affected, if not actually created, by the Industrial Revolution What’s this? ? ? Industrial Revolution 13

Introduction Life before the Industrial Revolution – People were concerned with the most basic of primary economic activities – Acquired the necessities of survival from the land – Society and culture was overwhelmingly rural and agricultural – Before 1700 virtually all manufacturing was carried on in two systems, cottage and guild industries, both depended on hand labor and human power Industrial Revolution 14

Introduction Cottage industry – Most common, was practiced in farm homes and rural villages – Usually a sideline to agriculture – Objects for family use were made in each household – Most villages had a cobbler, miller, weaver, and smith who worked part-time at home – Skills passed from parents to children with little formality Industrial Revolution 15

Introduction Guild industry – Consisted of professional organizations of highly skilled, specialized artisans engaged full time in their trades and based in towns and cities – Membership came after a long apprenticeship – Was a fraternal organization of artisans skilled in a particular craft Industrial Revolution 16

Origins of the Industrial Revolution Arose among back-country English cottage craftspeople in the early 1700 s First: human hands were replaced by machines in fashioning finished products – Rendered old manufacturing definition (“made by hand”) obsolete – new definition emerges – Manufacturing transformation of raw materials into finished goods for sale, or intermediate processes involving the production or finishing of semi-manufactures. . wikipedia. org/wiki/Manufacturing Industrial Revolution 17

Origins of the Industrial Revolution First: human hands were replaced by machines in fashioning finished products – Weavers no longer sat at a hand loom, instead large mechanical looms were invented to do the job faster and more economically Industrial Revolution 18

The Water Frame (Richard Arckwright) Second: Human power gave way to various forms of inanimate power Industrial Revolution 19

Origins of the Industrial Revolution Second: Human power gave way … http: //www. sheepoverboard. com/ovine/shearing-2. html Machines were driven by water power, burning of fossil fuels, and later hydroelectricity and the energy of the atom Men and women became tenders of machines instead of producers of fine hand made goods Industrial Revolution 20

Origins of the Industrial Revolution Within 150 years, the Industrial Revolution greatly altered the first three sectors of industrial activity • Textiles • Metallurgy • Mining Industrial Revolution 21

Origins of the Industrial Revolution Textiles – Initial breakthrough occurred in the British cotton textile cottage industry, centered in the Lancashire district of western England – First changes were modest and on a small scale • Mechanical looms, powered by flowing water were invented • Industries remained largely rural • Diffused hierarchically to sites of rushing streams Industrial Revolution 22

Water Power to Finished Cloth http: //personalweb. smcvt. edu/winooskimills/millshistory/architecture and engineering/looms. htm Industrial Revolution 23

Origins of the Industrial Revolution Textiles – Later in the eighteenth century invention of the steam engine provided a better source of power – In the United states, textile plants were also the first factories Industrial Revolution 24

Origins of the Industrial Revolution Metallurgy – Traditionally, metal industries had been smallscale, rural enterprises Industrial Revolution 25

Origins of the Industrial Revolution Metallurgy – Situated near ore sources – Forests provided charcoal for smelting process – Chemical changes that occurred in steel making remained mysterious even to craftspeople who used them – Techniques had changed little since the beginning of the Iron Age, 2500 years before Industrial Revolution 26

Origins of the Industrial Revolution Metallurgy – In the 1700 s, inventions by iron makers in the Coalbrookdale of English Midlands, created a new scientific, large-scale industry • Coke, nearly pure carbon, which is derived from nearly pure coal, replaced charcoal in the smelting process • Large blast furnaces replaced the forge • Efficient rolling mills took the place of hammer and anvil • Mass production of steel resulted Industrial Revolution 27

Origins of the Industrial Revolution Mining – First to feel effects of new technology was coal mining • Adoption of steam engine necessitated huge amounts of coal to fire boilers • Conversion to coke further increased demand for coal • Fortunately, Britain had large coal deposits • New mining techniques and tools were invented • Coal mining became a large-scale mechanized industry Industrial Revolution 28

Origins of the Industrial Revolution Mining – Because coal is heavy and bulky, manufacturing industries began flocking to the coal fields, to be near supplies – Similar modernization occurred in mining of iron ore, copper, and other metals needed by growing industries Industrial Revolution 29

Coalfields in UK Became centers for 19 th Century Industrialization Consider the relationship of coalfields in the US and our Industrial Belt (now the Rust Belt) Industrial Revolution 30

Origins of the Industrial Revolution Railroads – Wooden sailing ships gave way to steel vessels driven by steam engines – Canals were built – British-invented railroad came on the scene – Need to move raw materials and finished products from place to place, cheaply and quickly, was main stimulus leading to transportation breakthroughs Industrial Revolution 31

Origins of the Industrial Revolution Railroads – Impact of the Industrial Revolution would have been minimized if distribution of goods and services had not been improved – British revolutionized shipbuilding industry and dominated it from their Scottish shipyards even into the twentieth century – New modes of transport fostered additional cultural diffusion – New industrial-age popular culture could easily penetrate previously untouched areas Industrial Revolution 32

Diffusion from Britain For a century, Britain held a virtual monopoly on its industrial innovations – Government actively tried to prevent diffusion – Gave Britain enormous economic advantage – Contributed greatly to growth and strength of British Empire Industrial Revolution 33

Diffusion from Britain The technology finally diffused beyond the British Isles – Continental Europe first received its impact in last half of the nineteenth century • Took firm root hierarchically in coal fields of Germany, Belgium, and other nations of northwestern and Central Europe • Diffusion of railroads provides a good index Industrial Revolution 34

Introduction of Railroads in Europe Over the 19 th Century Industrial Revolution 35

Diffusion from Britain The technology finally diffused beyond the British Isles – United States began rapid adoption of new technology about 1850 – About 1900, Japan was the first major non. Western country to undergo full industrialization – In the first third of the 1900 s, diffusion spilled into Russia and Ukraine – Recently, countries such as Taiwan, South Korea, China, India, and Singapore joined the manufacturing age Industrial Revolution 36

Diffusion of Industrial Revolution in 19 th and 20 th Centuries Industrial Revolution 37

Reibel’s Learning Objectives 1. Understand how changing social organization lead to the Industrial Revolution – 3 parts – • • • organization, de-skilling, and scale 2. Outline several stages of development in the Industrial Revolution based on Kondratiev’s Cycles Industrial Revolution 41

Industrial Revolution First and foremost, a revolution in the organization and control of labor Second Capitalist entrepreneurs and managers break down production into bitesized tasks, hire less skilled workers Third only possible at larger scales due to need to break down tasks, efficiency gains Industrial Revolution 42

http: //www. inkcinct. com. au/Web/C ARTOONS/2005 -539 P-carassembly-line. gif Remember! Industrial division of labor, NOT technical innovation, defines industrialization Strategic investment, not machines, makes industrial production possible All productivity gains in early industrial age were from labor re-organization Industrial Revolution 43

Ford Assembly Line: Grinding Monotony Henry had to pay well or no one would stay Industrial Revolution 44

Capitalist Competition and Technical Innovation Capitalist industry and faster technical innovation happened separately in 1700 s Slowly, technical innovation became a strategy for industrial competition Material progress from this combination - “spirit of innovation”, confidence in humans’ ability to control nature Industrial Revolution 45

Product Innovation vs. Process Innovation Product Innovation: Development of new products or new capabilities and features for existing products Process Innovation: New production processes that reduce unit cost: – new machines or equipment – innovations in operations management (organization of labor & production tasks) Industrial Revolution 46

Nike Innovation – at headquarters Portland Industrial Revolution 47

Evolution of Industrial Regions Continual expansion of long-distance trade due to transport cost declines, leads to: Greater specialization of production for export from region, less local self-sufficiency 5. Opium and the expansion of trade By 1690, the Company had trading centres (known as 'factories') all along the West and East coasts of India. The main centres were at Madras, Calcutta and Bombay. The Company started to protect its trade with its own armies and navies - very different from most companies today http: //www. bl. uk/learning/histcitizen/trading/story/trade/4 tradingplaces. html Industrial Revolution 48

Evolution of Industrial Regions Expansion of specialized business services to match local production specialties: transport, wholesale, finance, legal, advertising, etc. The Managing Committee House of the Insurance Company "Russia" in St. Petersburg http: //all-photo. ru/empire/index. en. html? img=14983&big=on Industrial Revolution 50

Technology and Corporate Strategy Product chains grow longer, leads to: – Competitive advantage thru vertical integration Horizontal integration also a growth strategy – Expanding markets and successful growth strategies of firms consolidates market share, Industrial Revolution 51

Technology and Corporate Strategy Expanding markets and successful growth strategies of firms consolidates market share, Eventually leads to monopolies Industrial Revolution 52

Modern Version of Reibel’s approach – Nike Shoes First organization of design, inputs, workforce, and sales stretches around the world Second tasks and inputs specialized by region of the world (ex. Leather for Nikes from Brazil shoe assembly in China) Third massive scale (Ex. “ 65% of the world’s high -end shoes or popular shoes” made in Dongguan, China http: //www. greenbiz. com/news/2009/07/22/nikes-new-leather-policy-no-sourcing-amazon-rainforest http: //www. chinaperformancegroup. com/2012/12/main-areas-of-shoe-production-in-china/ ) Industrial Revolution 53

Fordist Industrial Age Includes most of Kondratiev’s Third and Fourth Wave 1910 s to mid 1970 s Assembly line mass production, scientific mgmt. Internal combustion replaces steam -> change in transport & econ. geography New technologies - electronics, petrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals Rise of corporate R&D capabilities Close, two-way relationship between industrial corporations and the state Industrial Revolution 56

The Great Depression: First Crisis of Fordism The great depression: a downward spiraling feedback loop as follows: Overproduction -> failure of demand -> collapse of prices ->falling profits -> layoffs -> further collapse of demand, etc. Federal Reserve made things worse, cut back money supply because shrinking economy "didn't need more money in circulation” Industrial Revolution 57

End of social organizational hypothesis Industrial Revolution 58

Reibel’s Summary 1. Social organization lead to the Industrial Revolution 1. Greater and greater subdivision of labor 2. More and more low skilled (payed) workers 2. Industrial Revolution progressed through a series of stages similar to Kondratiev’s technological cycles 1. Booms and Busts part of the story 2. Geography expands with each boom Industrial Revolution 59

Hostetter’s Learning Objective 1. Provide Familiarity with major figures in America’s technological advances during the early 19 th century Industrial Revolution 61

Industrial Revolution (1780 -1850) - This part of history got its name because Great Britain began inventing new machines and technology. -Great Britain developed new machines for spinning cotton into yarn. As a result, Great Britain sold the cheapest cloth. -It was illegal for cotton spinning machines to leave the country or even skilled machine technicians.

Modern Day Industrial Espionage Industrial Revolution 63

Samuel Slater Industrial Pirate In 1789, Samuel Slater memorized the British spinning machines He came to the USA and began building cotton spinning machines to sell to Americans. Industrial Revolution 64

Eli Whitney Inventor In 1793, He invented the cotton gin. This machine removed the seeds from the cotton. Cotton was then sold more cheaply The USA did better in selling cloth to other countries. Industrial Revolution 65

Eli Whitney Born on December 8, 1765 in Westborough, Massachusettes. Industrial Revolution 66

How it all started. . . Upon graduating from college in 1792, Whitney traveled south, ending up at Greene Plantation near Savannah, Georgia. During his stay on Greene Plantation, Whitney heard of a need for a machine that would separate cotton from its seed. Industrial Revolution 67

Whitney quickly sketched out a model to explain his idea and within ten days he completed a functioning cotton gin. Although he applied for a patent on June 20, 1793, he did not receive one until March 14, 1794. Industrial Revolution 68

The Cotton Gin Eli Whitney’s cotton gin allowed cotton to be easily separated from its seed in a short amount of time. Industrial Revolution 69

The Importance of the Cotton Gin Because cotton could be cleaned in a shorter period of time, the South prospered in this industry. By using the cotton gin, one man could clean ten times as much cotton as he could have on his own. Industrial Revolution 70

Francis Cabot Lowell Industrial Pirate He built the USA’s first power loom in Waltham, Massachusetts. Girls worked in the power loom factory. They would work 12 to 14 hours a day 6 days a week. They had to go to bed by 10 and wake up at 5: 00 to work. They got $3 a week for working 70 hours. Industrial Revolution 71

Cyrus Mc. Cormick Inventor He improved the reaper. By hand, farmers only did 2 or 3 acres. However, with the reaper, farmers did 12 acres a day. He also used interchangeable parts so the reapers could be fixed easily. Industrial Revolution 72

Other Great Innovators Industrial Revolution 73

Thomas Alva Edison He loved inventing new machines. When he was 11, he built his own telegraph set. His dad wanted Edison to read books and stop doing science experiments so Edison’s dad gave Edison a penny every time he read. Edison used the pennies to buy chemicals. Industrial Revolution 74

Alexander Graham Bell He asked Boston University for a sabbatical to invent the telephone. He offered to share the profits BU absolutely refused, so he quit By 1900, 1. 5 million telephones were being used. He started the Telephone Bell Company. Industrial Revolution 75

John D. Rockefeller Entrepreneurs He came from a poor family. However, he started an oil-refinery business Industrial Revolution 76

John D. Rockefeller Through buying other companies and labeling them different names, he got a monopoly. Industrial Revolution 77

Bill Gates Entrepreneurs Where’s Bill? ? ? Bill being pied. Industrial Revolution 78

Conclusions Industrial Revolution 79

Conclusions The Industrial Revolution is an ongoing process of innovation and change It incorporates both technological and social parts to these processes and has globalized It is led by visionary individuals Industrial Revolution 80
