In 2003, consumption of IT goods worldwide was $1.5 trillion. Asia
represented twenty percent of this total. Even more telling, Asia
produced about forty percent of these goods. The continued rise of
Asian IT innovation will pose a challenge to the eminence of
traditional IT centers, notably Silicon Valley. Making IT examines
the causes as well as the major consequences of the dramatic rise
of Asia in this industry. The book systematically analyzes each
country's policies and results, on both a national level and, more
importantly, in the innovation regions that have developed in each
country: Japan's excellence in technology and manufacturing skills;
Bangalore, India's late start and sudden explosion; Taiwan's
Hsinchu Science-based Park's entrepreneurship and steady growth;
Korea's Teheren Valley's impressive development of large companies;
Singapore's initial reliance on multinational firms and its more
recent switch to a home-developed strategy; and China's
Zhongguancun Science Park's encouragement of investment from
foreign firms while also promoting a domestic IT industry. The book
outlines the difficulties in the IT industry, including Japan's
tendency to keep out most foreign firms and China's poor protection
of intellectual property. Developed by the team that brought
readers The Silicon Valley Edge, Making IT analyzes why this region
has an advantage in this industry, the similarities and differences
in the countries' strategies, why companies have clustered in
specific localities, and most important, what will be changing in
the coming years. Making IT should leave no doubt that the United
States and other countries competing in the global economy will
face enormous challenges-and opportunities-responding to the rise
of an innovative Asia.
