Management quality across the key business processes drives factory performance, measured by the rate of continuous improvement, which in turn drives factory growth. We empirically test this two-stage model, based on data on 51 manufacturing plants which participated in the 1997 INSEAD best factory survey in France and Germany. We confirm the validity of the model in a second data set stemming from 421 manufacturing business units worldwide which participated in the manufacturing futures survey 1996| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
