The Diffusion of Multiple Process Technologies
分析多种工艺技术同时扩散的过程，建立理论模型并探讨多技术环境对扩散路径的影响，最后以英国数控机床和涂层硬质合金刀具的联合扩散为例进行实证研究。
The objective of this paper is to analyse the simultaneous diffusion of multiple process technologies. A theoretical model of the diffusion of a new process technology is developed that takes account of the existence of another new technology that is being simultaneously diffused. The implications of the multi-technology environment for the diffusion paths of the two technologies are explored. The model is then used to explore empirically the joint diffusion of numerically controlled machine tools and coated carbide tools in the United Kingdom.
