Description

Making global production work locally requires the capacity to generate know-how in one region, and to deploy it speedily elsewhere. This book explains how to do this successfully, while avoiding common pitfalls. Based on specially commissioned studies from a variety of countries, it examines the implications of adopting new manufacturing practices or new models of work organization, such as total quality management, just-in-time or small-group activities, and considers the effects of different transfer patterns. The book should be a contribution to the debate on globalization offering practical advice to policy-makers and enterprises.
