Abstract

A substantial number of propositions have been made over the last 20 years regarding the content of manufacturing strategy and the process of strategy development and implementation. Although many of the propositions have been well received, few have been rigorously tested via empirical methods. Reviews empirical research efforts to date in order to assess the effectiveness of current research directions and methodologies in evaluating earlier propositions. Discusses strengths, weaknesses and directions for future research in each area of manufacturing strategy.
