From Silicon Valley to Singapore

Developments in the global economy over the last two decades; have dramatically increased the availability of industrial investment I sites and lowered the cost of relocating core activities. But how should these developments be exploited for competitive advantage?

Firms face competing pressures: scale economies and the advantages of proximity push them to concentrate activities in one or only a few locations, while low wages and new markets invite dispersal across several countries.

This book examines how location decisions have contributed to the global dominance of US firms in the hard disk drive industry, with research and development located principally in California and manufacturing based in Southeast Asia, particularly hi Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. Beyond the particulars of the hard disk drive industry, the authors present new perspectives on the sources of industrial leadership, the strategic behavior of multinational corporations, the geographic evolution of industry, and the creation and endurance of industrial clusters.

Many governments are attempting to produce their own Silicon l Alley, Silicon Glen or Silicon Fen.

The special character of the region is not to be found in technological breakthrough, but rather in the ability to turn ideas into products through the swift formation of new films.
