| KRATKA VSEBINA | V prispevku bomo predstavili izvor in pomembnost razlik med podjetji z vidika ključnih sposobnosti podjetja, ki so se oblikovale na področju strategije. Podjetja ne moremo obravnavati le kot enega od množice akterjev v ekonomski igri (kakor to počne tradicionalna teorija firme), ne da bi upoštevali njegove individualne značilnosti. Tako razlike med podjetji niso rezultat, pač pa vzrok splošnihekonomskih razlik. Ključnih področij proizvodnega procesa ni mogoče preprosto prenašati. To tezo bomo podkrepili s kratko predstavitvijo rezultatov opravljene raziskave, katere namen je pokazati dejanske rezultate mednarodnega prenosa japonskega sistema upravljanja in proizvodnje v avtomobilski in elektronski industriji. Predpostavka raziskave je bila, da prenos sistemov in metod organizacije in obnašanja v tuje družbeno okolje nujno zahteva, da se le-ti spremenijo oziroma prilagodijo lokalnemu okolju. Glede na ugotovitve se tako pojavlja potreba,da ponovno proučimo dejavnike kulture na več področjih, vključno z večnacionalno teorijo, relativno superiornostjo, s podjetniško specifičnimidejavniki, z lokacijsko specifičnimi dejavniki in drugimi povezanimi vidikiinternalizacije. // This contribution is concerned with the sources and significance of interfirm differences. The firm is not just a player in a multiactor economic game (as it is from the point of traditional theory of the firm). We should be interested in the particular play or performance ofindividual firms. From that point of view we are saying that firm differences are the cause and not the result of general economic differences. This viewpoint we will corroborate with the study that intend to identify the practical results of the international transfer of the Japanese management and production system in the auto and electronic industries. The hypothesis of the research was that when systems or methodsof organisation or behaviour are transferred to a foreign social environment, their transfer will inevitably be accomained by a certain amount of friction and that the systems and methods will undergo a certain amount of change or revision as a result. There is an urgent need to re-examine systematic and cultural factors in many areas, including MNE theory, relative superiority, corporate-specific factors, location-specificfactors, and the related issue of internalisation. |
