Publisher's Synopsis
This book addresses the challenge that business managers face in building "world class" manufacturing organizations and argues that the flagging competitiveness of American manufacturing industries is as much the result of human and management factors as it is of intense competition and unsupportive economic policies.;The authors' implementation thesis, which covers a wide range of manufacturing issues in the context of human and management dynamics, parallels Porter's "Competitive Advantage". They intend the book to act as an opportunity for British industry to learn and benefit from the new management strategies emerging out of the US predicament - the awareness of falling behind world markets.
