Why manufacturing and automotive companies must invest in technology and what to look out for

To stay competitive in today's rapidly changing business environment, manufacturers must invest in new technologies. One way to accelerate the delivery of new tech is through acquisitions or partnerships with other businesses. However, the success of these initiatives is often dependent on the cultural fit and compatibility between the organisations involved.

A clear integration strategy is essential to ensure that the best capabilities and practices from both organisations are leveraged. In addition, manufacturers need to be able to adapt quickly to new technologies and market trends. This requires a flexible and agile organisational structure that can respond to change quickly. Manufacturers that can successfully navigate these challenges will be well-positioned for long-term success.

We discuss this and more in our latest report on manufacturing technology and the prospect of staying ahead of the curve.
