Zusammenfassung:Learning to innovate : information hardware sector in Asia and Africa -- The rapid rise of China -- Low value-added operations in Indonesia -- Rapid expansion with slow upgrading in Malaysia -- Making a difficult transition in Mauritius -- Weak institutions constrain growth in Nigeria -- Information hardware at incipient phase in South Africa -- Taiwan's move from follower to leader -- Conclusions and policy implications
This book focuses on what can be learned from the complex processes of industrial, technological and organizational change in the sectoral system of information hardware (IH). The IH innovation system is deliberately chosen to illustrate how sectors act as seeds of economic progress. Detailed firm-level studies were carried out in seven countries, three in Africa (Nigeria, Mauritius and South Africa) and four in Asia (China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Indonesia)
