Abstract
This study uses a moderated, regression model and data from four‐digit SIC manufacturing industries to examine the advanced manufacturing strategy based on organizational size. Its results confirm recent studies that high technology has a negative effect on to the size of an organization. This study also reveals that, contrary to some previous research, large and small firms respond differently to technological changes.
