MANUFACTURING THEINTERVIEW SUSAN HELPER Chair of economics and AT&T professor of economics Case Western Reserve University Weatherhead School of Management n addition to her duties at Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management, Susan Helper Ialso is a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, and she has researched the impacts of collaborative relationships, between suppliers and customers and management and labor. Dr. Helper recently answered Helper questions from Crain’s Cleve- land Business related to the state of manufacturing in Northeast Ohio. Q: What does Northeast Ohio need to do to strengthen — and expand — its manufacturing sector? A: I’m in favor of expanding only some parts of the manufacturing sector — those that provide good jobs making high-quality products.

A first step would be EMPLOYMENT simply to collect data that measure value. Right now, when a firm is deciding whether to expand in Northeast Ohio, the most detailed CONUNDRUM data that we have to offer is about wages — which are seen as a cost, so the lower the better.
