- Title
Transferring Core Manufacturing Technologies in High-Technology Firms.
- Authors
Galbraith, Craig S.
- Abstract
This article examines the successes and failures of thirty-two different high-technology intrafirm core manufacturing technology transfers where a technology was either replicated at or completely relocated to another facility. In addition, the study investigates the impact various factors have upon the economics of such transfers. These factors include: distance between facilities, complexity of the technology, communication and training, organizational experience with prior transfers, financial commitment to the transferred technology, and other resource costs.
