Abstract: Italy's industrial districts have achieved great success in the post-war period, based on their tightly-knit disaggregated production systems spanning small firms specializing in different phases of the value chain. Where competitive strategies were focused on quality and innovation, rather than on minimizing production costs, the districts have flourished. This study examines the chair manufacturing district of Friuli, looking at how its “spontaneous” organization of production has been brought under severe competitive pressure, ancl the moves undeway to respond to these new global forces.
