The paper begins by discussing what theory, research, and practice reveal about developing organizations that are both highly aligned and adaptive. A conceptual understanding of the sometimes complementary, sometimes antagonistic organizational requirements for alignment and adaptation is the first requisite, and is detailed in the next section. Next is a discussion of what is known from theory, research, and practice about changing organizations. Both these last sections use the history of Apple Computer to ground discussion. The third section evaluates current practice in developing a more competitive organization using a set of design specifications, derived from change theory, which must be met by organizational change methods that seek to develop both an aligned and an adaptive organization. The final section focuses on an analysis of Strategic Human Resource Management Profiling (SHRM), a process for realigning an organization and its human resource management policies with competitive realities developed by the authors at Becton Dickinson and Company.

Over the past decade, many companies have adopted new strategies for manufacturing, which have taken their competitiveness on to new planes. A whole array of initiatives, such as FMS, JIT, TQM, CIM, and MRP II, have been introduced. This book deals with the far-reaching significance of these new approaches - collectively labelled "new wave manufacturing". Considerable research evidence as well as practitioners′ own experiences make one crucial point time and time again. The organizational as well as the human resource management aspects of these new strategies are critical to their success or failure. The underlying theme which is tackled in this book, therefore, is to what extent do these new operational strategies require a matching set of organizational and HR strategies? By looking at the issues through the joint eyes of production and behavioural analysts, this book provides an unique introduction to the new developments in manufacturing as well as providing an up-to-date assessment of the organizational and H R dimensions to these methods. New Wave Manufacturing Strategies has a vision which goes beyond the "new technology"/advanced manufacturing technology discussions. The chapters have been written in a clear, accessible manner by leading experts from Europe, the USA and Australia as well as from the UK.
