Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI

The Manufacturers
Alliance/MAPI, established in 1933, is a nonprofit executive
development and business research organization serving the needs
of senior corporate management of its nearly 500 member
companies. Our activities range from economic forecasting and
policy research in a wide array of economic, legal, and
management areas to the operation of Executive Councils and
Conferences for executives in nearly every management
discipline.
Our policy research
and publication program has long addressed issues associated
with U.S. civil justice reform. Our 2003 book, I PAY, YOU
PAY, WE ALL PAY—How the Growing Tort Crisis Undermines the U.S.
Economy and the American System of Justice, details some of
the serious problems inherent in, and recommends practical
reforms for, today’s U.S. civil justice system. More recent
studies have explored a variety of critical civil justice reform
subjects, including asbestos, silica, and class action
litigation and the changing judicial climate in Illinois.
Alliance research in this area has a special focus on the impact
of our legal system on the economic prospects of the domestic
manufacturing sector, including the high technology subsector.
