Taxonomy Of Manufacturing Strategies In Iran Case study: Manufacturing Firms in Khorasan Razavi

10.22111/jmr.2012.669

Abstract

Manufacturing strategy studies has been focused on manufacturing strategy content and process, and has been attend letter in taxonomic study in this scope. Manufacturing strategy taxonomic studies not only give parsimonious description from organization strategic classes but also that provid nessesary context for more special studies, include performance evaluation, fit configuration in ever class and its theory building. Taxonomic researches have developed in world in narrow, and other hand, scope varity and time are influence variables on strategic cluster. In this study, develop  the taxonomic study of manufacturing strategy in Iran. We used from K-mean cluster analys for data analysis. Strategic cluster four is identified. Results demonstrated the different of clusters from other studies. Implications provided for ever cluster, and finally, limitations and purposes expressed.
