- This article starts with a brief characterization of microeletronic automation goods producer firms in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It regards in particular the specific features of the production process, the technological intensity of the mix of products and the managerial procedures adopted in these companies. The analysis of both the organization of work and work management style within the ten visited firms as well as the opinions collected in interviews with management shows that actual practices and attitudes fall short from the major "models" and "paradigms" identified by academic researchers. Furthermore the paper shows that the label just-in-time is applied in a great variety of senses and to a wide range of phenomena, pointing out that this notion is much less consistent and much more limited than its widespread use leads to suppose. In addition these notions are highly rejected by the managerial staff in the set of the studied firms. In contrast to the assumption of the specialized literature that the automatic goods producers are decisive elements of the diffusion of the innovation process (lato sensu), data show that there is a lack of reflection of managers about the strategic role of work, on the contemporary productive process, both at the micro and macro level.
