This book contains a selection of articles on the subject of
'Culture and Production'. They are results of international
conferences held in Tokyo, Washington and Bremen between 1991 and
1994. The International Research Network on Culture and Production
(CAPIRN) carried out a 5-year joint research project examining the
impact of different industrial cultures on the development and
implementation, and above all on the international transfer of
technology. The machine tools sector was selected for this
international comparative study, because over the last 15 years
this global market has undergone dramatic changes that cannot be
adequately explained by traditional economic theories of
international competition. The 'industrial culture' research
concept permits an analysis and understanding of hitherto
unrecognised interrelationships between the dimensions of different
industrial cultures and the process of technological innovation in
international competition. The special challenge faced by CAPIRN
was to develop the theoretical concept of industrial culture
further and to apply it within a large-scale international study. A
considerable amount of work in this field has been published by
CAPIRN members since 1990. This book is the first compilation of
research findings in the field of industrial culture. We wish to
express our thanks to the national research councils in the
participant countries, the FORCE and FAST programmes of the
European Union, the Japanese Ministry for Industry, MITI, and the
Hans Bockler Foundation, to mention only some of the many bodies
that have provided support.
