| Summary: | In an era of globalisation, a lively debate has raged over the continued importance of a firm's national base. National Systems of Innovation cuts a swathe through this enduring debate and confirms that in this technological age, a country's technological capabilities remain pivotal in determining its success in high technology industries. This book makes a significant contribution to debate by synthesizing the literature on strategy, management and innovation and examining the importance of a firm's national base at a sectoral level in an era of globalisation. Differences in national economic structures, management, firm learning, and firm strategy all contribute profoundly to competitive success. The book examines two very dynamic high-technology industries - semiconductors and liquid crystal displays - and offers a detailed analysis of these industries in the US, Western Europe, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. |
