“…According to Goyal and Grover [12], manufacturing evolves continuously and the adoption of AMT is usually due to the intention to improve some of the competitive factors, such as delivery, cost, quality, or flexibility, in line with Kotha and Swamidass [11]. Percival [13] finds that, besides the widely stated benefits of improving own performance, AMT can also represent an entry barrier for competition. Her main theoretical findings are that AMT reduces the need for unskilled workers, but it augments the demand for skilled workers, which eventually may not reduce labour costs.…”

Literature findings on the effects of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) on company performance measures is currently inconclusive. There is also a lack of recent research on this issue from a contingency perspective. It is also a fact that the majority of research is conducted in developed countries. This research is based on the contingency theory perspective, and it attempts to add value to the observed literature gaps by exploring two less developed countries Slovenia and Croatia. Using survey data from 138 manufacturing companies from Croatia and Slovenia, we tested the effects of twenty technologies on different performance measures through five ordinary least squares regression analyses. Contingency factors in terms of company size, batch size, product complexity, included as control variables in analyses, proved insignificant for technologies' use and their effect on profits before tax, decrease in the scrap rate, material and staff costs. On the other hand, AMT has impact on material consumption, scrap rate and profits, but not in a positive hypothesised relationship.

“…Westhead, Wright, and Ucbasaran (2004) studied the exporting propensity and firm operation using a weighted group of performance proxies such as sales revenue growth, return of equity, and both gross and net profits by multivariate regression for cross-sectional data. Percival (2004), in her dissertation work dealing with the realization of advanced manufacturing technologies, implements penalties in one solution of factor analysis. The other type of penalties can be defined considering, e.g., the temporal weights for individual observations.…”

This study aims to analyze the business view concerning the using the accommodation capacities in some central European countries, i.e. Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia in the NUTS-2 regional scope. The special attention is paid to Spain. The research is based on annual post-global economic crisis data. The authors apply a specific partial least squares (PLS) variant of multivariate methods, which relates many fundamental and derived tourism variables due to particular attention to using a weighting procedure. The authors determined that in order to encompass the territory predetermination for the best fit the changed conditions, the majority of significant cities have very good dynamics in capacity parameters and overnights for increasing the offers being greatly supplied by the annual changing number of visitors. However, Spain is substantially different from the other regions analyzed, forming ultimate conditions for mutual comparison. Moreover, the tracks of turning visitors into capital or significant cities, especially associated with the close natural attractions, are substantiated. The tourist’s resource potential specific only to the target region as well as relevant additional potential origins are examined on the sample of countries. Covering tourism as the world’s leading industry directly connected to accommodation tasks and a unique period examined, the results of this study can be used to formulate policy guidelines as well as to solve the tasks of attracting tourism and promote supply. AcknowledgmentThis research was funded by the Grant Agency of Academic Alliance under Grant Agreement number GA/13/2018.

“…It was found that up to 45 different types of AMTs are listed in the literature. The set of technologies that can be considered to be AMTs in this study is based on a literature review by several authors [9,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. The AMTs which are very frequently mentioned are: computer-aided design (CAD), robots, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computer numerical control (CNC), flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) and manufacturing resource planning (MRPII).…”

In this study, the relationship between advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) and ISO 9001 certification was analyzed. The purpose was to examine the most used AMTs in enterprises of mechanical engineering and metalworking (MEM) sector in Latvia. A literature review was conducted first to determine what technologies are currently considered to be advanced in manufacturing. This article gives detailed information of six types of AMTs, which according to the survey are most frequently applied by MEM sector enterprises in Latvia. The information for this analysis is obtained from the database collected by the Latvian Association of Mechanical Engineering and Metalworking Industries (MASOC). Paper also presents the usage of these technologies by enterprise size class (micro, small, medium and large size). The results of the comparative analysis are discussed, taking into account ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS) certification and non-certification factor, respectively. The data sample is based on more than 100 enterprises from MEM sector where the use of AMTs was identified. The findings showed that the most often a computer numerical control (CNC) and computer-aided design (CAD) are used by enterprises of MEM in Latvia. The hypothesised relationship was supported by results which showed that in enterprises that do not have ISO 9001 certification CAD technologies are used in 13 % of cases, while enterprises with ISO 9001 in 20 % of cases, respectively. The CNC is used in 62 % of cases by enterprises without ISO 9001 and in 76 % of cases having ISO 9001 certificate. From above, it could be concluded that in enterprises in which a QMS certified according to the ISO 9001 is introduced, these two above mentioned technologies are used more frequently (7-8 % points more).
