Abstract

Globalization is revolutionizing the way manufacturers operate. Forward-thinking companies see this as an opportunity to innovate their operations systems seeking lower cost, new manufacturing capabilities, improving customer responsiveness, and entering new markets. The purpose of the paper is to form the basis for a 3 year research project, which is aiming to understand and conceptualize the development of innovative and robust global operations systems. The paper will do this by developing the conceptual outset for studying the operations based engagement with globalization and the organizational consequences thereof. The paper draws on three case studies.
