在对英国和日本企业的创新管理进行更广泛的比较时,本文重点关注英国钢带产品公司和新日铁公司之间的联盟,该联盟旨在帮助英国公司改进其工厂级产品和工艺开发程序。事实证明,该联盟是成功的,这家英国公司在缺陷率、生产率和产品质量方面取得了明显的进步。然而,事实证明,有些做法在英国公司的组织环境中很难或不可能“学习”或发展。包括动态能力、创新研究和“技术的社会塑造”在内的多种理论方法结合在基于知识的方法中,以分析组织环境的差异如何影响知识管理能力和创新。调查结果凸显了两家公司之间的重要差异,包括管理权力和员工激励方面,这些差异影响着专业知识的开发、部署、整合和“利用”制造创新的方式。背景因素支撑着这些公司之间的持续差异,因此代表了竞争优势的来源,但也可能导致惯性和路径依赖。
Within a broader comparison of the management of innovation in British and Japanese firms, this paper focuses on an alliance between British Steel Strip Products and Nippon Steel Corporation established to help the UK firm improve its plant-level procedures for product and process development. The alliance proved successful and clear improvements in defect rates, productivity and product quality were achieved by the UK firm. Some practices, however, proved to be difficult or impossible to "learn" or develop in the organisation context of the British firm. A variety of theoretical approaches, including dynamic capabilities, innovation studies and the "social shaping of technology" are combined in a knowledge-based approach to analyse how differences in the organisation context influence knowledge-management capabilities and innovation. The findings highlight important differences between the two firms, including aspects of managerial power and employee motivation, that influence how specialist knowledge is developed, deployed, integrated and "leveraged" for manufacturing innovation. Contextual factors underpin sustained differences between such firms and therefore represent sources of competitive advantage, but may also contribute to inertia and path-dependency.
