| Abstract: | Decisions made by firms over investment in technological and production systems embody conceptions of productive efficiency that are themselves becoming sources of competitive advantage. It is argued in this paper that three dominant models of productive efficiency inform such decisions in the 1990s. There is the model of efficiency that fits with mass production, emphasising division of tasks, standardisation, repetition and cost minimisation. |
