Excerpt from Managing the Introduction of New Process Technology: International Differences in a Multi-Plant Network
Too often, when companies introduce new manufacturing processes they not only fail to capture competitive benefits but also experience a persistent drain on human and capital resources. One major u.s. Study found that the difficulties of introducing new manufacturing equipment frequently result in productivity losses equal to or exceeding the original cost of the equipment, and that the disruptive effects can persist for two years or more Persistent problems can have serious competitive implications as deliveries, reputation, and market share slip. Further process change becomes impossible.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the challenges of introducing new technological processes within a manufacturing environment. The author explores two central questions: how can factories respond to change effectively, and what fundamental organizational changes enable plants to adapt to technological advancements? Using data from 48 projects across Italy, West Germany, and the United States, the author finds that US plants underperform their European counterparts in implementing new process technology. Through regression analysis, the author attributes this gap to differences in organizational responses to change, specifically the use of preparatory search, joint search, and functional overlap. The author concludes that managerial choices regarding investments in process technology, operating practices, and technical capabilities have a long-lived impact on factories' abilities to introduce new process technology effectively.
