The Silicon Dragon is a systematic study of the growth of   high-tech giants in the Greater China Region, depicting the success story   of the microelectronics industry in Taiwan. Literature and studies on   Taiwan's success are surprisingly limited, and this book aims to fill this   gap, addressing questions such as: How has Taiwan achieved such an   outstanding performance in the information industry? How did Taiwan obtain   and maintain its competitive advantage? What was the secret of success?   What role did the government and manufacturers play during the development   process? What insights can newcomers gain from these achievements?       The book examines the government policies that acted as catalysts to   the growth of high-tech industries in Taiwan, along with the roles of   high-tech `incubators' and government-administered science parks. The   authors provide case studies of high profile companies including Acer,   Philips Semiconductors and Macronix International, and interviews with key   decision makers to highlight the corporate strategies adopted in response   to government policies and global commercial demand. Finally, insightful   narratives on the birth and growth of a government-fostered strategic   industry are provided, as is a synopsis of the Asian contribution to the   evolution of the global microelectronics development.     This book will strongly appeal to academics, researchers and   students with an interest in engineering, technology and business   management. Business managers and government officials will also find much   to interest them in this book.
