| Abstract: | The innovativeness of eight manufacturing firms in Malaysia was measured and compared using certain criteria. Initially we selected the four matched pairs of firms from various manufacturing sectors based on whether or not the firms in each pair have implemented computerized manufacturing systems. Further assessments of the innovativeness of the firms were based on: changes/continuous improvements carried out; introduction and implementation of technologies (machines , processes, etc.); interactions of the firms with their external environments; and number of training programs organized by the firms to stimulate innovation and creativity among its employees. |
