Lauge Rasmussen - Böcker

This text contains a series of articles written by leading international researchers on the subject of culture and production drawn from the CAPIRN project (the International Research Network on Culture and Production). The book examines the impact of industrial cultures on the development, implementation and international transfer of technology. The editors have chosen the machine tools sector as a basis for their discussion as this particular area has undergone dramatic changes since the early 1980s, changes which cannot adequately be explained away by traditional economic theories or international competition.
