Industrial Structure, Technical Change, and the Role of Government in Development of the Electronics and Information Industry in Taipei,China
Lin, Yeo | May 2003
Abstract
Taipei,China has achieved remarkable development and export performance
in its electronics and information technology industry in the past three decades.
Starting out as heavily dependent on foreign technology in the 1960s and 1970s,
firms in the electronics and information industry devoted considerable technological
effort and successfully negotiated the daunting currents of competition to participate
in new product development by the 1990s. The industrial structure of the electronics
and information industry has evolved from a small- and medium-size enterprise
operation into a large-firm operation by the late 1990s, which further facilitated
the export orientation of the electronics and information industry. Government
adopted selective industrial policies to overcome the problem of market failure
and enhanced systemic coordination and cohesive networking. Therefore, the
Taipei,China government essentially “made”, rather than ”picked”, the winner of
the electronics and information industry in Taipei,China.
