About "Manufacturing Industry: Customizing for the Masses" topic:
Thanks to digital technology, the mass market of the 21st century is
giving way to a market of one. The automation that made cloned cars and
clothes ubiquitous is being replaced by technology that allows a
staggering degree of individualization. Customers can communicate
directly with manufacturers via the Internet, and their instructions can
be absorbed into production at little if any extra cost.

This so-called
mass customization has profound implications for many traditional
manufacturers. It will prod many to overhaul production lines to combine
the benefits of automated assembly with the power to include a vast
array of personal touches.

I agree with him because mass customisation can not be done in every product and it is a time consuming process.

If we analyse the nature of students' demand, what they want as customers are: Expert Teaching Quality Learning Resources Well-structured Courses Either Marketable Skills or a Strong Brand or even both Flexibility Fair Assessment The concept that that all learning can be made fun and easy is flawed. Although it should be interesting, the task is to teach skills. It is difficult to get away with poor quality teaching any longer. However, in the area of assessment, there is insufficient objectivity and discipline at present. There is a strong case that all assessment should be anonymous and conducted at arm’s length. WINNERS AND LOSERS There are however a number of areas of new demand which fundamentally represent good news for those in the education sector who can ride the wave in a clever way: the knowledge worker; business advice; the law; health; "edutainment"; financial planning. Not everyone can win. Among the winners in these changing conditions are likely to be: those who...
