Evidencia 2: Workshop “Products and services”

La lectura es una de las habilidades más utilizadas en el mundo, pero a la vez es la

menos motivante, dado que en ocasiones hay textos muy extensos y con vocabulario
complejo que dificulta su comprensión y le resta interés al texto; afortunadamente
existen nuevos métodos que facilitan obtener la información necesaria y con ello
aumentar el léxico personal.

vivid reminder of the importance that policy makers attribute to industry.

8. Technological Revolution
The Internet and digital communications are general-purpose technologies,
transforming the economy profoundly.

9. The Digital Car

Cars have become computers on wheels. Software is revolutionizing the
automotive industry, until recently one of the most traditional and hierarchically
organized industries in the world.

As emerging countries move up the value chain, they increasingly rival producers
and service providers in advanced economies.

11. Behavioural and Structural Change

global value chains to their maximum advantage.

17. Reshoring of Manufacturing

3D printing, also known as "additive manufacturing," could lead to the relocation or
nearshoring of the industry, as it increases the speed of production while reducing
costs and meeting consumer demand with more speed and greater influence over
production.

18. Develop Not-Easy-to-Replicate Innovations

In the search for high-quality jobs, the nexus between manufacturing and services
offers many opportunities, especially in countries that have world-class industry-
oriented training and learning systems

19. Productivity Growth and High-Skilled Jobs in Services

For policymakers, it is time to understand that a healthy and thriving industrial
sector inherently depends on the quality and integration of Europe's service
markets.

20. First Mover Advantage Up for Grabs in Key Sectors

history of the economy are determinants from the industrial age to the digital age,
deindustrialization has gone Along with a significant increase in services in advanced
economies, it is important for traditional industries to prepare for digitalization, as
emerging countries move up the value chain, increasingly competing with producers and
service providers. The advanced economy, the raison d'tier of the new emerging
economy is influenced by cultural and structural changes, such as: Europe has
everything going for it in this new hyper-connected and interoperable economy, the
strength of manufacturing must now be urgently complemented by world-class services.
Therefore we will begin to see new innovac.

3. Choose a paragraph and translate it with your own words.

17. Reshoring of Manufacturing

3D printing could lead to the relocation or nearshoring of the industry, as it increases the
speed of production while reducing costs and meeting consumer demand with more
speed and greater influence over production. The image will not be black or white, as
reshoring will take place alongside continued outsourcing and relocation to emerging
markets. As long as it is likely that the relocation of some high-end production processes
is related to the construction of a stronger annex between products and services.
