| Tiivistelmä: | The mass production model of earlier manufacturing practices is being replaced by a vision of a flexible multiproduct firm that emphasizes quality and fast response to market conditions, while utilizing technologically advanced equipment and new forms of organization. The mathematics of compensation, a new model and its basic analysis are provided in the paper. The optimizing model of the multiproduct firm generates many of the observed patterns that mark modern manufacturing practice. Organizational problems associated with the new technologies are presented. Central to the results is a method of handling optimization and comparative statics problems that requires neither differentiability nor convexity. |
