In Thai-owned plants Low-volume flexible automation technology use is higher than the use of this technology in either joint ventures p .001 or foreign-owned p .001 plants. Apparently Thai plants produce more low volume components. Plant ownership has no effect on Data-interchange technologies. In an earlier section this study reported that plant size has no effect on Data-interchange technology use. Taken together with this finding it is important to note that Data-interchange technologies are relatively more mature technologies easily implementable without much capital or resources and is immune to size and ownership.

Tchijov 1989 s found that plants with labor union membership exhibit the resistance to adoption of new technologies. This study does not measure union
