Abstract:

As we begin the twenty-first century, the assembly line model is once again being put into practice in the global industry. This time, however, the materials that companies are working with are more intangible; information and development processes are now being analyzed and broken down to their most basic components, as companies try to streamline production processes and reuse content as much as they can.
