Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the organizational challenges and responses to the introduction of new process technologies in manufacturing. The author argues that technological change often disrupts ongoing operations and can require a level of creative problem-solving that amounts to innovation at the plant level. The book examines the sources of disruption and identifies organizational response mechanisms that can be effective in countering them. The author distinguishes between technical complexity and systemic shift as two distinct attributes of technological change and suggests that different kinds of change may require different patterns of organizational response. The book provides a framework for understanding the nature of the change and the organization's response to the problems presented, highlighting the importance of early problem identification and real-time problem solving. It also emphasizes the role of intra and inter-organizational partnerships for both early problem identification and real-time problem solving. Overall, this book provides valuable insights for managers and organizations seeking to successfully navigate the challenges of technological change in the manufacturing process.
