t rate would rise a lot because manufacturing employed more than 2 million people and it may be difficult for people to find new jobs so it a social and economical problem, people will lose their purchasing power.

Chief economist Ms Lee Hopley said: "Manufacturers are ending the year on a high and should enter 2011 on a strong footing" (Press association, 2011, UK manufacturing firms 'strong'). The main reason which explain this growth is the demand from overseas market.

Nonetheless, the manufacturer are facing some major issues while trying to develop themselves; indeed as they all need skills they are struggling against each others to get what they want.

Tom Lawton, of public accounting firm BDO LLP says "Manufacturers now need to take advantage of this continued growth by investing in capital equipment and the skills within their workforce.

Besides, table 1 classify these factors in order of importance, so it is shown that the most significant driver is 'talent' which concerns skilled people (engineer, researchersa€|) and influence innovation. And then come the cost of labor and materials and the energy cost and policies which composed the 'foundation of manufacturing competitiveness, 'the three drivers are the "foundations" of manufacturing competit
