Summary:

Processes of adjustm ent and restructuring of the production sectors to a new system of macroeconom ic incentives are slow, costly and more inefficient than conventional microeconomic theory would lead one to suppose. In this article, the authors explore the process of the restructuring of production of a Chilean metal products and machinery company and the way it gradually modified its operations from the 1970s onw ards, adapting them to new macroeconomic and mesoeconomic signals. As is well known, in the last two decades the system of incentives and the regulatory framework for production activities in Chile have undergone profound changes, gradually moving -with advances but also setbacks-tow ards an organizational model more open to external competition, more deregulated, and with less public sector participation in the field of production proper.
