Über dieses Buch

Global interest in technology-based growth politics is growing as technology becomes an increasingly important factor in economic competitiveness. In spite of increased efforts in many nations to develop more effective industry strategies, most of these endeavors have been ad hoc exercises rather than derived from a consistent framework.
Technology Infrastructure and Competitive Position provides that missing framework. It begins by providing an overview of technology-based competition and the relevant issues. A conceptual model is developed that emphasizes the roles and impacts of the supporting infrastructure. Finally, the book addresses the interaction of corporate and governmental roles for providing technology infrastructure, some funding issues and mechanisms for cooperative planning and implementation.

1. The Economic Roles of Technology Infrastructure
Abstract
As markets have become more global and as more nations have become globally competitive, the interactions of economic systems and their broader social and political structures have become more intense. Along with the “globalization of markets” has come a steady increase in the complexity of the nature of economic activity. Part of this trend is explained by the fact that technology has become a dominant competitive force.

2. Strategic Issues in Technology-Based Competition
Abstract
Certain basic concepts for successfully conducting human activity are timeless. Yet, societies periodically lose their grasp of them and suffer considerable pain until they are rediscovered. As relative quality, productivity, and thus the overall competitiveness and standards of living of a number of major industrialized nations’ economies, particularly the U. S. economy, eroded in the three decades, 1960–1990, increasingly intense scrutiny has been applied to success stories in other industrial nations. Yet, in spite of these analyses and considerable debate, major disagreements have only increased with respect to the causes of economic decline and especially over the remedies.

3. A Conceptual Model of Technology Infrastructure
Abstract
Conceptual frameworks do not themselves produce good strategy and policy. However, they provide an essential common ground for the subsequent economic and policy analysis and the communication of this analysis to the policy decision process. Consequently, this chapter presents a model for identifying and relating the basic elements of a technology infrastructure strategy.

4. Research Consortia
Abstract
The developcment and use of generic technology is one of the emerging major battlefields in global technology-based competition. The nature of generic technology is such that if its supply is left to individual firms, underinvestment will occur. This underinvestment can be substantial enough that the affected industries lose any chance of being competitive in global markets early in the technology’s life cycle.

5. Industry Structure and Investment in Technology Infrastructure
Abstract
One area of technology-based competition which has been particularly slow to receive constructive attention is the relationships between industry structure and other strategic variables. Structural factors such as size distribution, product composition, and relationships with infrastructure have always evolved over the life cycles of technologies underlying individual industries. During the past several decades, however, the rate of change in industry structure has increased in response to faster technological change and the globalization of markets.

6. Strategy and Standards
Abstract
Critical emerging technologies with impacts on large numbers of industries have both a complexity and a “systems” character which raise the economic role of standards to a new, higher level of importance. This fact has not been lost on government policy makers around the world. In fact, more and more resources are being devoted to ensuring that standards are promulgated to leverage a domestic industry’s “enabling” technologies and to provide the interfaces for these technologies with other elements of technologybased systems. The substance of these standards and the timing of their implementation are having significant impacts on industry behavior and structure — trends which will have lasting effects on the competitiveness of the world’s industrialized economies.1

7. Trends in Technology Infrastructure
Abstract
Global technology-based competition is a race with no finish line. The frenzied pace of competing is causing radical adjustments in corporate philosophy, let alone specific strategies. One of the major characteristics of this change process is the increased fuzziness of the previously well-defined corporate boundary. Today, terms such as joint ventures, consortia, strategic partnering, and global alliances are being used with increasing frequency, as industrialized nations attempt to adapt to the new global economic order.

8. Corporate Strategy and Government Policy
Abstract
Many recent reports and statements by industry groups have called for similar divisions of effort between industry and government in restoring U.S. competitiveness.

9. Infrastructure Strategies in an International Economy
Abstract
Paul Macrae Montgomery, a well-known bond market analyst, has said that any attempt to understand the bond market — or any other market — without intermittent study of human emotions is doomed to failure: “The study of economic behavior is a subset of the study of human behavior”.1
