A challenge in technology transfer is to manage the complex assimilation process which requires the mutual adaptation of organization and technology to gain leading edge. This paper describes a model and an enabling (industrial/academic collaboration) mechanism to transfer and assimilate best practices through information systems development in SME. A case study will be provided to illustrate the application of this model to manage the assimilation of Manufacturing Resource Planning in a SME to support concurrent manufacture.
