Catching Up and Leapfrogging

The new latecomers in the integrated circuits industry

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Catching Up and Leapfrogging Strategies in the Integrated Circuits Industry explores how technological transitions affect latecomer catch-up strategies, and vice versa, in a high technology industry. It looks to the East Asian latecomers who, towards the end of the 20th century, pioneered a new pathway through organizational change by specializing on the key production stages of integrated circuits and pushing technologies further. This volume assesses how latecomer resource acquisition strategies have varied alongside structural industry changes and evaluates the mechanisms through which firms started life as a technology follower and rose to become a technology leader.
