| Tiivistelmä: | The rapid emergence of new technologies has increased the rate of obsolescence. This creates the possibility that developing countries and, in particular, newly industrializing countries may leapfrog older generations of technologies. To understand leapfrogging behaviour, this paper examines the deployment /as distinct from manufacture/ of telephone switching systems in a number of countries. Demand-driven leapfrogging was most prevalent in countries with intermediate network maturity. Infrastructure-driven leapfrogging has taken place in countries with mature networks /France, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapure/. |
