Abstract

This is part of a case series. Domino Printing Sciences is an international world-leader in date coding technology. The company designs and manufacture inkjet printers, which are used in mass production applications - for 'use-by' date marking, on a wide variety of products including foods. In 1998, however, management recognised the need to develop new products based on laser technology and therefore faced the task of acquiring this technology from outside.
