| Abstract: | The early 1980s witnessed the reversal of dominance in the world computer market. This article examines the process by which the US overtook Japan. It identifies five interrelated factors that contributed to the re-emergence of the US as the leading supplier of semiconductors. These are: structural changes in the US computer industry, non- intrusive, but pro-industry, government interventions, superoir performance of the US firms in strategic alliances and R&D, interplay of software and hardware, and favourable economic conditions in the US. |
