Abstract :
This paper brings out selected results of the recent survey targeted on adoption and utilization of advanced manufacturing technology in the Czech Republic. The main focus is on the phase of advanced manufacturing technology project justification and findings ascertained in the Czech Republic are compared with the outcomes of analogous surveys that were carried out earlier in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Despite of some anticipated singularities and differences there are many problems of advanced manufacturing technology projects justification that we have in common in all the above mentioned countries. That is why we believe that technology specialists as well as managers worldwide could learn from issues presented and discussed here.
