In an increasingly technologically-led century the striking pattern
emerging in firms' innovative activities is their competition for a
technological leadership position in situations best described as
races. A 'race' is an interactive pattern characterized by firms
constantly trying to get ahead of their rivals, or trying not to
fall too far behind. In high technology industries, where customers
are willing to pay a premium for advanced technology, leadership
translates into increasing returns in the market through positive
network externalities. Innovation, Technology and Hypercompetition
synthesizes and unifies the various methodological approaches for
the industry-specific analysis of fast changing competitive
positions driven by relentless innovation (hypercompetition).
Game-theoretic and agent-based tools are applied to competitive
industries in various market settings and in a global context.
Rivalry of this sort is seen to extend to the catching up and
forging ahead of regions and nations. In this revealing volume,
Hans-Werner Gottinger brings his expert eye to this issue and
employs various tools from economic theory to attain this end. He
provides the behavioural foundations for what is driving
globalization, in this, a volume of interest to academic
economists, legal experts, management consultants and practitioners
alike.

Hans Gottinger examines different types of network industries such
as railways, telecommunications and new media, and the economics
thereof. An accent on history is something that makes this book
stand apart from others in the area. The author's accessible
writing style and knowledgeable research should make the book
recommended reading for all those interested in industrial,
innovation and micro policy economics.
Originally published in 1991. The dilemma of solid and hazardous
waste disposal in an environmentally safe manner has become a
global problem. This book presents a modern approach to economic
and operations research modelling in urban and regional waste
management with an international perspective. Location and space
economics are discussed along with transportation, technology,
health hazards, capacity levels, political realities and the
linkage with general global economic systems. The algorithms and
models developed are then applied to two major cities in the world
by way of case study example of the use of these systems.
