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.
