The perceived duality between high-wage/high skill and low-wage/low skill industrial strategies underlies many accounts of contemporary industrial change. Within some North American manufacturing sectors a hybrid strategy has taken root, one that combines technologically sophisticated product and process innovation with low-wage production. A case study of Magna International, a highly successful Canadian-based multinational automotive components producer, illustrates this strategy. Magna's competitive success stems from its ability to combine product innovation founded on high-skilled engineering and tool-and-die making, a decentralized and flexible organizational structure, and a distinctive non-union approach to managing relatively low-paid production workerS.
