Ever since Schumpeter's groundbreaking work there has been a
plethora of new research seeking to extend the direction and
dynamics of innovation. Using a rich account of detailed
interviews, this book offers new evidence on how latecomers have
successfully caught up and leapfrogged incumbent firms. Catching Up
and Leapfrogging: the new latecomers 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
twentieth century, pioneered a new pathway through organizational
change by specializing in 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 technology followers and rose to become
technology leaders. Xiao-Shan Yap and Rajah Rasiah present a unique
story about how firm strategies evolve from the catching up phase
to the leapfrogging phase, captured from the accounts of managers
on the ground. It is the first time firm-level strategies have been
systematically analysed to describe twenty-first century strategic
management in the integrated circuits industry in particular, and
the high tech industry in general. The evidence and analysis in
this book offers insights for chief executive officers,
policy-makers and researchers to revisit existing approaches to the
theory of catching up and leapfrogging.
