Firm performance and the strategic fit of manufacturing technology

One significant shortcoming in increasing productivity of creative industry especially in developing country such Indonesia or other ASEAN countries is finding the appropriate technology to be used by considering the need, how to select, and technical support for the use of technology. Furthermore the lack of technology access also became an important constraint for creative industrialists to be more effective in running their business for winning the global competition. This study aim to identify the model of technology used by the developed countries to be implemented by ASEAN creative industries by doing the benchmarking study from several well-known and steady countries in implementing the optimal technology as the key to the successful global business operation. The methodology use for this purpose is using the qualitative research methods based on overviews on empirical evidence regarding the creative industries technology in developed countries, case study overview approach is built to provide a preliminary study of technology adoption in developed countries. The findings of the paper include the analysis of technology based on social, health, technological, economic, financial, institutional, and environmental consideration and constraint in implementing the technology in the creative industry. Conclusions are drawn that implementing technology in such creative industry should consider particular aspects due to its unique and specific industry characteristics. The paper closes with future research recommendations on validating the model in each of 15 creative industry categories and try to find the specificity of each category in technology consideration and standards.

Purpose -This paper seeks to apply a structurational model of technology to reflect on the introduction, assimilation, and consequent industry change that accompanied the introduction of computer aided design (CAD) into the Swedish architectural industry. Design/methodology/approach -The original research was designed to follow a change in an industry as it was occurring. A longitudinal study was used and the research design was centered on two surveys, taken 46 months apart during the adoption period, to examine the adoption and spread of the innovation. A structurational model of technology permits one to understand the interaction of people, technology, and institutions during these periods. Findings -The competitive nature of the industry was affected. Adopters tended to adapt their business offerings to provide extended services whereas non-adopters pursued an artistic emphasis in service provision. Technology came from suppliers to users, which in turn affected customers to the extent that they endorsed use. Understanding thus requires extending the two dimensional nature of the model to three dimensions involving supplier, user, and customers. Research limitations/implications -One could always be critical of the specific geographic focus (Sweden), the specific industry (architecture), the specific technology (CAD) and the model (structuration) to explain a specific competitive development. Extension to other situations, of course, would strengthen and extend understanding. Practical implications -Just knowing the nature of these developments should be of use to managers during such periods. That is, there is likely to be a split in the industry and both organizational types are likely to see their businesses affected. Originality/value -The structurational model is necessarily extended to three dimensions in rationalizing the development.
