Technology Innovation in Manufacturing

The text highlights the need for a technology innovation-strategy model to assist manufacturing industries in enhancing their performance in today’s competitive environment. It will serve as an ideal reference text for graduate students and academic researchers in the field of industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering etc. This text identifies and discusses different technology innovation initiatives (TIIs) such as entrepreneurial capability, technology infrastructure capability, organizational culture and climate, and government initiatives. It further evaluates the relationship between various technology innovation initiatives and manufacturing performances using multi-criteria decision-making techniques such as fuzzy set theory (FST), structural equation modeling (SEM), and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). It will serve as an ideal reference text for graduate students and academic researchers in the field of industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, automotive engineering. This book: Discusses technology innovation initiatives such as entrepreneurial capability, technology infrastructure capability, and organizational culture Highlights technology innovation-strategy model in assisting manufacturing industries for enhancing their performance in today’s competitive environment Examines the effect of technology innovation initiatives on the performance of manufacturing industries Covers multi-criteria decision-making techniques such as fuzzy set theory, structural equation modeling, and analytic hierarchy process Explores the validation of fuzzy-based technology innovation model through structural equation modeling
