Abstract

This paper reports a comparative case study of nine firms in the Canadian graphic arts industry in 1964-1986 and suggests that production technology in these firms changes in feedback cycles. The cycles in turn are triggered by the initial performance of the firms. A model of technological change is proposed which relates performance, managerial conduct and contextual conditions to changes in production technology. Differences between technological leaders and followers are identified.
