Abstract

This chapter attempts to present a framework that business managers can use to determine where and how much flexibility is needed. Implementation of flexibility is cost, time and resource intensive, and I hope this simple framework will help you in analyzing and then implementing flexibility in your various business segments and in their appropriate dimensions that I discuss later in this chapter.
