| Abstract: | This paper provides empirical evidence for the microeconomic existence of distinctive national modes of organization for technology development Evidence from the semiconductor industry shows that two forms of organization not only arose as the industry expanded, but that the differences were maintained, or expanded, with neither side 'converging' on the other, even as manufacturing-process development performance converged Four propositions are tested statistically the organizational strategies employed by a sample of leading firms in the United States and Japan were significantly different, across a range of dimensions important to manufacturing process development. |
