Product Description
DescriptionThe Globalisation of High Technology Production: Society, Space and Semiconductors in the Restructuring of the Modern World Review
This book is somewhat outdated. It� s published in 1989. Since then so much have happened to the semiconductor industry. But if you are interested in the incipient period of the industry, this book is worth reading. This book deals with the internationalization (not globalization) of the American semiconductor industry into Southeast Asia and Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. Their relocation of production into those region was the reaction to the competition from domestic competitors and Japanese makers. The same strategy was adopted by American electronic industry. As we all know now, the main purpose of the movement is the effort to enhance cost competitiveness. That kind of movement is now dubbed as the internationalization. Current globalization is different from it. But without understanding it, we can �t fully figure out globalization for globalization is based and expanded on the international division of labor the internationalization constructed.I recommend this book to who want to understand the process of globalization in depth and those who study the history of the semiconductor industry.
