Study Notes
Secondary Activities
- Secondary activities add value to raw materials by transforming them into usable products, like turning cotton into clothes or iron ore into steel
- Manufacturing involves a full range of production processes, from handicrafts to advanced computer components
- Manufacturing uses power, mass produces identical items, and employs specialized labor in factories
- Modern large-scale manufacturing is characterized by specialized skills, advanced machinery, vast capital, and large organizations
- Industries are often located based on access to raw materials, labor, energy, transportation, communication, and markets
- Government policies influence industrial location
- Industries can be classified by ownership (public, private, joint), size (cottage, small-scale, large-scale), inputs (agro, mineral, chemical, forest, animal), or output/products (consumer goods)
- Industries based on inputs emphasize materials like minerals, forests, agriculture, or animals
- Industries based on output produce consumer goods directly or are intermediate goods used by other industries
- Household or cottage industries use local raw materials, simple tools, and family labor for small-scale production
- Small-scale manufacturing involves workshops outside homes, simpler machines, and semi-skilled labor
- Large-scale manufacturing requires large markets, raw materials, energy, technology, and large capital investments
