Abstract :
This paper presents an empirically grounded model, which links organizational learning and capital productivity. The approach described in this paper helps fab managers make fundamental strategic decisions concerning capital investment and point of entry by engaging in scenario planning. Three strategic options for semiconductor manufacturing are analyzed in detail-leading-edge manufacturer, fast follower and slow follower.
