Taking into account the previous findings concerning the state-of the-art in the Czech Republic it is clear that Czech manufacturing companies are still lagging behind their western competitors and the situation is changing slowly. On the other hand, some problems of advanced manufacturing technology adoption seem to be rather common for Czech, British, and American manufacturing companies too. These problems are described and discussed here and some recommendations for specialists involved within the relevant decision making processes are presented. Finally, further directions of our research in this field are outlined here as well. 收起
