Abstract
This paper begins by a brief overview of the various components of the PPM technology. The author then provides an outline of the different phases of the PPM industry's history. This is followed by a discussion of several aspects of the PPM industry's development, including the institutional environment within which the industry developed the role of inherited capabilities from the military and communications sectors, the role of strategic alliance leader in paradigm-changing innovations, and the role of Multinational entry in South Africa's PPM industry. A brief discussion of the methodology used in this case study is followed by some concluding remarks.-
