✦ Synopsis
Is the `one best way to manage' philosophy of certain multinational companies (MNCs) a workable concept? * An examination is made of the experience in one plant of the MNC ABB, looking at both the incentives to change and the plant's ability to change. * * *
Resistance to the programme was found among many managers, and the unions frequently resisted the changes that resulted. * A ®nding is that the plant had all the incentives to change, but lacked the ability to do so.
