There have been intense debates among management and academics on the rise of "lean production" and "Japanization". Some authors have stressed the "universal" impact of new forms of work organization and "best practice" while others have questioned the limits of convergence, stressed the weight of national contexts or "societal effects" or highlighted the evolutionary effects of unpredictability in the external environment. The international automobile industry has been a focus for much of this debate and this text, written by a team of international researchers in the field, uses this industry to examine in detail the actual practice of the transfer and adaptation of productive models and the trajectories of innovation, compromise and failure that can result. Case studies cover in detail the Japanese transplant experience in North America, and the global experience of hybrid production systems in Europe, Latin America and Asia. The text contributes to theoretical discussions about the transfer, adaptation or convergence of productive models. In particular, the authors argue that direct transplantation or imitation of these models is rarely feasible or even desirable. Systems cannot be transferred without being significantly reshaped. Instead, it focuses on the process of "hybridization", the complex interaction of productive models with national and societal effects. Hybridization, it is argued, is inevitable. But this should be seen not simply as a process of compromise and retreat but also as an important dynamic of innovation and learning
