Industrial Cultures and Production

This book contains a selection of articles written by leading international researchers on the subject of culture and production drawn from the CAPIRN project (the International Research Network on Culture and Production). The book examines the impact of different industrial cultures on the development, implementation and international transfer of technology. The editors have chosen the machine tools sector as a basis for the discussion as this particular area has undergone dramatic changes over the last 15 years - changes which cannot adequately be explained away by traditional economic theories or international competition. By adopting an 'industrial culture' concept the book explores previously unrecognised issues such as the interrelationships between different industrial cultures and the process of technological innovations in international competition.
