Abstract
This chapter focuses on two aspects of technological innovation in advanced manufacturing, namely (1) the nature and significance of customer-supplier interaction in the area of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT), and (2) the degree to which this interaction involves entities located outside Sweden—i.e., the extent to which national boundaries define the Swedish technological system for factory automation.
Another version of this paper was published in Claes Brundelius and Bo Göransson (eds.), New Technologies and Global Restructuring (London and Los Angeles: Taylor Graham, 1993). It was also presented at the European Association for Research In Industrial Economics at the annual conference in Italy, September, 1991. I am grateful to the discussants, Peter Swann and Pekka Ylä-Anttila. I would also like to thank Tony Spybey, Ellinor Ehrnberg, Staffan Jacobsson, Anders Granberg, Bo Carlsson, Rikard Stankiewicz, Sven Collin, Göran Alsén, Stevan Dedijer, and Anders Nilsson for commenting upon earlier drafts of the paper.
