About the Book

The papers in this volume are contributed by leading academicians and practitioners from all over the world. They cover a wide variety of strategic and operational issues associated with developing and implementing technological change for increasing the competitiveness of the firm. The diversity of their topics and approaches clearly reflects the evolving nature of production economics, both as a practical and a theoretical field. The contributions reflect the changes in business forces and organizational and methodological responses in which the authors have been involved. About half of the papers deal directly or indirectly with the impact of business forces on production planning and control information systems, technology transfer, and investment and financial planning. The remaining papers present the new trends in organizational responses. Familiar topics are also included, such as manufacturing flexibility and productivity, inventory policies, materials management, process planning and so on.
