for the past 3 decades, creating industrial clusters have been considered as an approach for the development of most small and medium enterprises. the goal of this programme is that all small and medium enterprises locating in a certain geoghraphic area can concentrate on cluster approach to collaborate in market research, production design, training and other activities that are not economical...

In the context of distributed manufacturing, existing models for the management of orders and work systems assume that the entirety of information about the state of the production environment is known. Instead, this paper studies the implications of networking in an environment in which no element possesses information about the entire state. An experiment in the form of a production simulatio...

Resource dependence theory suggests that to function successfully, organizations must obtain certain resources controlled by actors in their environment. To do this effectively, managers often develop networking relationships with key stakeholder groups in order to make critical resources available. Managers in public service organizations, in particular, are frequently under great pressure to ...

An important change in the socio-economic environment of industrial firms is the increasing diffusion of Internet technologies in production processes. Applications are on the shop floor, e.g. in networking dislocated assembly lines and in assisting management processes, e.g. in production planning and control. Due to this evolution of direct, IP supported networking (down to the machinery leve...

O ne of the effective strategies for economic development of clusters is the conduct of networking activities by cluster members. Indeed, the majority of cluster members are micro and small enterprises, so, should attempt to overcome their inherent constraints and influence the market through networking activities. In addition, these enterprises lack an intra-firm research and develo...
