A survey of manufacturing strategies in China-based enterprises
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the results of a 1997 study exploring the manufacturing strategy of 46 plants (foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) and wholly Chinese-owned enterprises (WCOEs)) located primarily in the Beijing}Tianjin area. Semi-structured interviews using a questionnaire in English and Chinese were employed to: (i) identify current activity (practices and emphases) and future trends in manufacturing, (ii) compare and contrast FIEs and WCOEs, and (iii) identify how practices correspond with performance on various competitive objectives and overall performance. Fundamental di!erences were found between FIEs and WCOEs both in terms of practice and priorities (the former emphasizing competition on time/delivery, and the latter various aspects of quality). 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
