Abstract

his research tests the broad hypothesis (using data from the Global Manufacturing Re- search Group) that there are few significant differences in the manufacturing practices of Western Europe and North America . The hypothesis holds for the stringent test used in this paper to disclose the differences . In general, no surprises were uncovered, but know- ledge of the differences that were found could be of importance to some firms.
