Abstract: | It has been argued elsewhere that firms that are unable to technologically innovate against competition are most likely to move offshore. This research would seem to indicate that this is true , but that such a statement underemphasizes the rapidity with which restructuring of the production process becomes a global phenomenon. Indeed, the continued internationalization of what we call flexibilism could possibly enhance the status of less developed countries as production platforms for mainland markets. |
