Paradigm Shift in the Definition of ‘Domestic’: A Global Perspective Yunus Çengel Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering University of Nevada, Reno (USA) 1st International Conference on Innovations in Natural Science and Engineering Famagusta, N. Cyprus January 3-6, 2018
Q: Why domestic goods & services?A: The benefits it provides to nation/citizens • Job creation, • Skills (know-how) accumulation, • Continual tech. development & leadership in technology • Derivative product potential, • Establishment of a powerful information ecosystem and innovation chain, • Reducing foreign dependence on technologies (esp. critical ones) • Full control over products & ability to use them w/o imposed restrictions • Secrecy and national security, • High prestige and high moral, • Strengthening national pride, increasing sense of belonging • Foreign currency gain; better current account balance, • Etc.
OLD paradigm in ‘domestic’ (INPUT based): Domestic goods: Those produced in the nation, with domestic parts by national work force. Domestic firms: Those which produce in the nation using domestic parts and employing nationals.
NEW paradigm in ‘domestic’ (OUTPUT Based): • The most domestic or national product of a country is one that is made by a company belonging to that country and provides the highest benefit to the people of that country regardless of the ratio of the domestic parts used and the country in which it is developed or manufactured. • The most domestic or national company is the one that belongs to that country and provides the highest benefit to the people of that country regardless of the ratio of the domestic parts it uses and the country where the manufacturing plants and research centers are established.
Realities of the new ‘Global World’: • Firms see the whole world as the potential production sites, suppliers and markets. • A national company of a country today may become part of a company of another country tomorrow. Large companies often take over other companies, license technology and even merge with companies from other countries. • Even rival companies initiate joint R&D programs to gain competitive advantage in global competition by reducing the cost of technology development. • To attempt to manufacture all products domestically will not bring about making the market domestic; it will hand over the market to foreign products since domestic products will no longer be competitive. • Governments’ desire: High domestic productionIndividuals: High quality, low cost products or services.
Rational approach to ‘domestic goods’: • In this age when products know no national borders, and technology advances in dazzling speed, a country must determine the areas/products/services for which it can be competitive in the global arena after a careful analysis, and to focus its activities in those areas only, instead of attempting to manufacture everything domestically. • Those who try to do everythingcannot do anything economically, and cannot become competitive in anything. Also, they cannot improve and sustain what they do since they cannot allocate sufficient resources. • Forcing the use the parts that do not have these qualities just because they are domestic means promoting products that lack global competitiveness due to low quality and high cost. • Job creation and developing/producing high value added products should not be mixed with each other. • The way to increase job creation is to make domestic and foreign companies prefer to build their production facilities in the country by making the climate of manufacturing in the country more attractive.
Smart move in ‘parts manufacturing’:Manufacture parts that can be marketed globally • The goal of parts manufacturing should be to gain a significant share in the global market, instead of to save the money spent on imported parts. • Infrastructure should be established to improve the parts constantly with necessary R&D investments and to remain competitive. GE, CFM, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce do not manufacture aircraft. But they manufacture almost all the jet engines of commercial aircraft and they share the market of $25 billion a year. http://www.statista.com/statistics/261934/world-commercial-aircraft-engine-manufacturer-market-share/
North Korea vs. South Korea:Closed&Independent vs. Open&Dependent economies GDP per capita (1960): North Korea: $384 South Korea: $156
North Korea vs. South Korea:Variation of GDP per capita over years
BOEING 787:%65 of parts are imported • Boeing (2015 revenues:$96 billion)imports most parts used in airplanes it manufactures. • Boeing and other US aviation companies focus on parts that they can remain competitive globally and retain this competitive edge through continuous innovation. • As a result of focusing, the US exports of aircraft parts reached $56 billion in 2014. • 65% of the parts used in Boeing 787 come from outside the US. • This does not change the fact that Boeingairplanes areUS products. http://trade.gov/topmarkets/pdf/Aircraft_Parts_Top_Markets_Report.pdf; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing
Q: Which parts of iPhone does Apple manufacture?A: None (just integration) Total cost for Parts&Manufacturing 32-GB: Cost: $208; Price $749 64-GB: Cost: $218; Price: $849 Profit: Over 50% (S&P 500 Automotive: 4%) 2016 revenue: $216 billion CPU (A7): SAMSUNG DISPLAY: JAPAN DISPLAY, LG, SHARP BATTERY: SONY CHIPS: TOSHIBA, SanDisk, ELPIDA,..

APPLE: A desirable or undesirable firm for US?Is Apple a good model for others to follow? Multi-national US firm APPLE (2016) • Market value: $750 billion (#1 in the world) • 2016 revenues: $216 billion. Profits: $46 billion • Cash it has: $203 billion • Employment: 115 bin (world wide) • Parts manufactured inhouse: %0 (software only). • Designed in: California, ABD • Manufactured in: China (Foxconn) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc. http://www.cnbc.com/2015/07/21/just-how-much-cash-does-apple-have.html
APPLE: The firm that makes us question what ‘domestic’ is • Is Apple, which has its products manufactured in a foreign country by a foreign company with mostly foreign parts, a domestic company for the US that needs to be cherished by the US? • Should products with low domestic content like iPhone in the US be viewed as domestic or foreign products? • Are the ordinary US citizens and US government happy that the Apple company was founded in the US, or are they bothered by it? • Is iPhone known as a product of USA or China? • Do we wish to have a company like Apple, or, a company that manufactures its products in our country using mostly domestic parts even if it is not globally competitive?

National vs. global approach to wind turbines:Turkey vs. China Example (2007 - …) TURKEY started a ‘National Wind Turbine Project’ (MILRES) in 2007 with the goal to develop a 2.5 MW wind turbine, using 100% native and domestic resources. Status in 2017: A 500-kW turbine prototype whose future is uncertain. CHINApurchased companies, formed cooperation with the existing wind turbine manufacturers, transferred technology and eventually produced its own turbines. Status in 2017: World leader in wind turbine manufacturing, surpassing US, Germany and Netherlands.
Turkey vs. China Experience:Lessons learned • For commercially mature products, how realistic is it to think that, globally competitive products can be develop by starting from scratchand working in a closed circuit while being limited with native brainpower and resources? • Isn’t it wiser to start one step ahead by forminginternational cooperationor by purchasing a company that has already developed technology and patented it? • Was it worth spending 10 years to make a prototype of the native version of a globally available existing product that improves continually in this age of knowledge economy where continuous development is the rule and shorter and shorter product life is a reality?
PROTON:National car experience of Malaysia (since 1983) • Malaysia started the Proton brand "National Car Project' adventure in collaboration with Japan's Mitsubishi company in 1983. • People of Malaysia had to pay high taxes imposed on imported vehicles & parts so that Proton would succeed in the domestic market. • Despite all protectionistmeasures that disturbed the free market conditions, the sales of Proton plummeted, and it was unable to pay its debts to parts suppliers as of March 2016. It is trying to survive with the $500 million bailout package given by the Malaysian government. • Instead of taking a pride in their national car, today Malaysia is discussing whether Proton should be continued to be supported by the taxes paid by the people. There are negotiations to sell 50% of Proton to China. http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/malaysias-proton-gets-government-bailout-package-more-than-a-week-after-mahathir
