Tóm tắt

The customer of the 1990s demands products and services that are fast, right, cheap, and easy. Manufacturing organizations have adopted an information-based strategy that incorporates technology to maintain and deliver the information required for knowing what, when, and how to make economical products. This strategy is explored within the context of the new economy as it is manifested in the areas of globalism, informationalism, and customer-dominated markets.
