that investment will be longer term in nature. 2013 will be a year
of foundational investments that create capabilities for competitive
advantage for the next five years and beyond.
-
Smart services will take a leading role in manufacturing firms'
profitable growth strategies. Initiatives like connected vehicles
in the automotive industry will deliver completely new business models.

The third industrial revolution - additive manufacturing technology
like 3D printing and advanced robotics - will make their way onto more
factory floors. This investment will set the stage for new levels
of productivity gains and the ability to offer highly customized
products.
