Comments on: Managing New Industry Creation: Global Knowledge Formation and Entrepreneurship in High Technology http://www.accountantnorwalkca.com/managing-new-industry-creation-global-knowledge-formation-and-entrepreneurship-in-high-technology/ A Norwalk, Ca Accounting Firm Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:10:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Anonymous http://www.accountantnorwalkca.com/managing-new-industry-creation-global-knowledge-formation-and-entrepreneurship-in-high-technology/comment-page-1/#comment-604 Anonymous Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:01:05 +0000 http://www.accountantnorwalkca.com/managing-new-industry-creation-global-knowledge-formation-and-entrepreneurship-in-high-technology/#comment-604 This book takes a detailed look at the development of Flat Panel Displays and the enormously complex and expensive developments (in science, technology, manufacturing and manufacturing equipment) needed for them. Based on extensive field interviews in the US and Japan, the authors show that no company could have developed the technologies required alone. Instead, a collaborative community of practice of suppliers, manufacturers, scientists, and users had to coalesce, and did, in Japan. Nevertheless, some US firms were critical players: those that collaborated and participated in Japan. This book forces us to rethink simple-minded notions of how and where technology can develop, with profound implications for managing strategy, making trade policy, and understanding increasingly complex high tech strategy.

It gives a more insightful analysis than available anywhere else, with quite a bit of applicability to current technological decision making.

Murtha, Lenway and Hart make two broad contributions. First, they refute many of the myths that surround the flat panel display industry. Second, they generate insights that are applicable to any technologically innovative industry. The book will be valuable to managers, policy makers and academics. Highly recommended. <p>Glenn Hoetker, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Rating: 4 / 5 An accessible and insightful examination of the flat panel display industry from its inception to 2000.

Additionally, it lacks predictive validity and has been unable to predict any of the momentous changes in the flat-display sector that have occurred in the last year. Dated!

However, as a manager, I was also looking for advice that I could apply now. This sector has been characterized by intense competition and turbulence, especially as regards international competition. Murtha et al. provide hackneyed insights and many of their predictions and "insights" are wrong. Disappointing!
