Abstract :
This paper provides a broad overview of the literature on theoretical perspectives in the context of lean manufacturing. Four organizational behavior (OB) theories (contingency theory, resource-based view theory, institutional theory, and transaction costs theory) are reviewed and analyzed on how these theories support the implementation of global manufacturing strategy. The results of this study provide opportunities for future inquiry of theory-based research in operations management.
