Abstract :

Rapid technological change have brought about the necessary pre-conditions for enterprises to meet ever-increasing and varied consumer demand. In the next century we shall witness enormous change in the form and structure of all organizations and enter prices in response to the environment in which they have to operate. The move from point automation to computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) automation Islands will be in the final analysis in the realm of extended enterprises (EE). The diversification in consumers tastes will force enterprises away from the mass production processes which in turn will lead to formation of smaller production units and finally only those projects which reutilize “human skills” will be justifiable on economic grounds. Environmental considerations together with the need to commoditise from the initial stages of production to final consumption for the pose of wasle control and recycling are some of the important issues facing as in the next century. At the same time, market considerations, employment issue, proximity of production faculties to consumer markets in order to respond respond rapidly to the changes in the latter etc, will cause move capital displacement in the coming century.
