Abstract :
A challenge in technology transfer is to manage the complex assimilation process which requires the mutual adaptation of the organization and its technology to gain a leading edge. This paper describes a model and an enabling mechanism (industrial/academic collaboration) to transfer and assimilate best practices through information systems development in small manufacturing enterprises (SMEs). A case study is provided to illustrate the application of this model to manage the assimilation of manufacturing resource planning in an SME to support concurrent manufacture
