Abstract

Changes in the industrial network of the UK offshore oil and gas industry have been brought about by the introduction of new contracting and purchasing arrangements. Companies at all levels have been affected, including the small, technology-based, oil-related companies (STBORs) who have traditionally provided much of the innovation required by the industry. This study, funded by the EPSRC, investigated technology management issues in the light of these changes, particularly as they affect STBORs and innovation. Issues raised by the research include the evolving manufacturing strategies of these small, technology-based firms. This paper seeks to illustrate these problems and the strategies devised by certain STBORs to overcome them.
