    Technology and Paradigms of Managerial Decision Making (1994)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of social economics 21 (1994), S. 15-34 
    Details
    ISSN: 0306-8293

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Combines theory with practice, based on experiences rather thanphilosophical speculation. The question posed is whether technologicalinnovation must be regarded as an exogenous or endogenous variable ineconomic models. Neoclassical economics, even in such modified versionsas developed by Samuelson and Solow, regard technology, labour economicsand social change, exogenous. The belief is that they are endogenous,and innovations in the technological sphere are no less influenced byeconomic factors than the economy by technological developments.Examines the related decision-making processes in one of the majorelectronics multinationals in order to obtain more insight into thecomplex interaction between economic and technological changes.

    Notes: Top managers of multinational enterprises are continuouslyconfronted with "make-or-buy" decisions. These choices haveto be made after corporate strategy has already been determined and themeasures to realize the corporate aims have been taken. Elucidates whythe decision to make components and/or production equipment in-house,instead of buying them from professional suppliers, may more often thannot be subversive of multinational corporations' (MNCs) core activities.Relies on a case study at a research and development department ofPhilips International (The Netherlands). Illustrates how the decision tomake production equipment in-house evokes further decisions which are inconflict with the actual corporate strategy. The decision of a producerof consumer electronics to develop production equipment in-house,instead of buying it in the marketplace, imposes on top management theneed to decide whether or not to add this equipment to its consumerproduct range. The problem is that an affirmative decision may well giverise to a shift in the company's core activities. Consequently,"make-or-buy" decisions are a potential threat to strategiccore activities and top management would be well advised to be aware ofthis.

    Globalization, new production concepts and income distribution (1999)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of social economics 26 (1999), S. 559-569 
    Details
    ISSN: 0306-8293
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The paper gives a brief description of the transformation on a global scale of the old international production concept of mass production towards the new global concept of lean production as an explanation for the increasing inequality in income distribution since the 1980s. The information is based on research of the electronics industry. The salient point is that mass production heavily depends on conveyor-belt work, while lean production (batch size one) is increasingly relying on sub-contracting (co-makership, just-in-time delivery) which is part of the strategy of large suppliers to concentrate production on their core activities, on global sourcing and on coalition-forming. The former left room for low qualified employment and "on the job training", while the concentration on core activities etc. tends to redirect work to highly remunerated but decreasing employment in large enterprises, and to poorly rewarded work in an increasing number of smaller subcontractor and co-maker firms. The risks involved for income distribution are self-evident.
