Drawing on case studies from the computer and telecommunications industry, Donna Doane shows how three phenomena enabled Japanese enterprises to "catch up" during the 1960s and 1980s: multistructured industry, family-based industrial networks, and a distinct government-industry relationship. Lessons for other industrial, and especially developing, countries are drawn. |
