Innovation By Half-Measures in German Manufacturing

Christiane Bender

Industry and Innovation, 1996, vol. 3, issue 2, 153-162

Abstract: The Paper develops a critique of industrial restructuring measures from the perspective of social innovation theory. Three kinds of industrial restructure are discussed: business process re-engineering; computer-integrated manufacturing; and lean production. The paper argues that the dominant approaches to these restructuring initiatives are socially deficient in that they do not draw on the full potential of the workforce.
