Process‐technology fit and its implications for manufacturing performance
研究了工艺环境与先进制造技术之间的匹配问题，发现不同工艺环境倾向于形成特定的技术投资组合，偏离这些理想组合会损害制造绩效。
Abstract This study investigates the issue of fit between process environment and advanced manufacturing technology, and its impact on manufacturing and business performance. We find that different process environments tend to align advanced manufacturing technology investments in distinct profiles, which are associated with superior performance. Deviations from these ‘ideal’ profiles are shown to have a negative impact on manufacturing performance. The findings also suggest that firms are not fully exploiting the potential afforded by AMT investments to compete in off‐diagonal positions in the Hayes–Wheelwright framework.
