Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book presents the current state of knowledge and pending questions in the internationalisation of manufacturing from the perspective of production management. In spite of its substantial reality and accelerated growth, internationalisation of manufacturing has not received much attention from the researchers in the production and operations management area. Most of the body of knowledge on international manufacturing has been from the perspective of the economists, political scientists, industry analysts, or others. This book, bringing together contributions from some of the world scholars, presents a first reference for academics and practitioners in manufacturing management.
