Semiconductor Technology Flows Through Formal Technology Transfers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book explores the flow of semiconductor technology across borders through official channels from 1978 to 1984, identifying international mechanisms for the transfer of knowledge and resources. The author analyzes interfirm agreements, company acquisitions and mergers, and direct investments in foreign facilities. The book reveals that the US experienced a net outflow of technology, while Europe, Japan, and Korea achieved net inflows. Japanese companies, in particular, were highly active in acquiring semiconductor technology from international sources, with the US being a significant target. The analysis also highlights that the large American semiconductor firms have allowed their technological advantages to be diffused to smaller domestic competitors and foreign companies, contributing to the growth of new rivals in the industry. By examining the mechanisms and consequences of technology transfer, this book provides valuable insights into the competitive dynamics and global strategies of the semiconductor industry.
