Abstract

From a macro and national perspective, this chapter focuses on the specificities of a manufacturing sector, that is, the Norwegian automotive industry. The chapter introduces the reader to product development in the industry, demonstrating how the organization learns (or not) from the one product development project to the next. This descriptive approach as to how product development occurs in real settings is in stark contrast to the one presented in the firms’ formal description of quality management systems and other types of formal displays. This chapter provides therefore, a unique insight in a) the discrepancies between firms’ fragmented and not always coinciding representations of realities of real production processes and b) the challenges firms’ meet in accumulating knowledge and know-how between projects.
