Examining the dynamics of competence-building processes at the firm
level, this book looks at a sample of Japanese and European
companies engaged in the field of optoelectronics. The concept was
derived from the notion of firm-specific competences which are
closely related to the firm's intangible assets and accumulated
technological bases. Several factors affect the rate and direction
of competence-building, chief among them being primary markets, top
management strategy and the evolution of research and development
organization, and organizational learning. The book also introduces
a technique to assess competences using three types of data on US
patenting, scientific publications and qualitative interview data.
