The Impact of Knowledge on the Survival of American Manufacturing Plants.

Hage, Jerald; And Others

Social Forces, v72 n1 p223-46 Sep 1993

Event-history analyses of 97 New Jersey manufacturing plants during 1973-87 reveal that plant survival was related to investment in knowledge (better educated employees and new technologies), decentralized line-operating authority, less formalization of authority, either independence or relative autonomy from parent company, and industrywide investment in research and development.
