Startup Factories

Startup Factories by Peter B Doeringer

This book gives the findings of a concise study of start-up factories in the United States by Japanese companies. This in-depth look at this increased phenomenon discusses not only the quality of jobs these factories produce, but it also expands to reveal their keys to success in achieving a strong competitive advantage. Finally, this volume gives the four inter-related strategies ( high performance management strategy, the economics of efficient wages, the quality of technology plants and regional economic development) that make for successful, high performance factories.

This study provides important insights on the impact of high performance management practices on manufacturingMost importantly, the authors highlight the need to analyze these practices in their managerial context and show the link between the adoption of these practices, location decisions, and job quality. * M. Rivera-Santos, Jnl of Economic Behaviour and Organization *
