Abstract :
This paper describes case study research undertaken in six Iranian manufacturing companies aimed at advancing the understanding of the manufacturing strategy formation process. Based on this study culture, leadership, policy and incrementalism have their own undeniable roles in manufacturing strategy formation. It could be useful to utilize formal business planning for firms interested in deliberative manufacturing strategy. In this study we use Barnes´s studies on six UK manufacturing companies.
