Abstract
It has been argued that a manufacturing philosophy entitled dynamic evolution holds the future for competitiveness. Previous research suggests that a major shift toward the dynamic evolution philosophy has occurred and is widespread among US firms. Our study investigates this contention. The results of our survey of US manufacturing firms indicates that the major philosophical shift toward the dynamic evolution philosophy is not widespread but is related to the implementation of Just-In-Time techniques. However, for a single component of the dynamic evolution philosophy, a widespread shift is evident.
