It focuses on applications growth, and uses the experiences of six small manufacturing firms to identify motivators and inhibitors of growth. Many factors were identified. Motivators of growth included: improved enthusiasm for the technology. Inadequate resources and limited education about information systems were among the factors that inhibited applications growth.
