A comparison of the performance of Italian and UK manufacturing plants from the Engineering industry is presented, based on data collected in both countries using the survey method. The comparison of the quantitative data indicates that in the areas of flexibility and quality there were no real differences between the performance of Italian and UK plants. However, in the area of people management significant differences were found and these have implications for both researchers and managers in the engineering sector. © 2003 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

Abstract
A comparison of the performance of Italian and UK manufacturing plants from the Engineering industry is presented, based on data collected in both countries using the survey method. The comparison of the quantitative data indicates that in the areas of flexibility and quality there were no real differences between the performance of Italian and UK plants. However, in the area of people management significant differences were found and these have implications for both researchers and managers in the engineering sector. © 2003 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
