Abstract
Announcing a case study on the “culture of manufacturing” is a challenging claim — neither is the term yet satisfactorily defined, nor is it a self-explanatory constant entity which would simply need some illustration. Denomination, exemplification and comparison will therefore have to be carried out simultaneously to convey some feeling for the complex interdisciplinary connotation of the “culture” of manufacturing on the theoretical level, and this discussion supported with some practical characterizations of important features as well as of some peculiarities of individual production styles.
