Hypothesized Drivers of Performance for LDC’s
• Location in Supply Chain / Innovation• Access to $$, tech. (FDI, MNE’s)• Returnees?• Culture
– Risk preferences (France)– Inter-firm collaboration (Chaebols, business networks,
Keiretsu)
• Network Ties– Managers– Government officials– Alumni Associations

Case of Taiwan and the Semiconductor Industry
• Upgrading, How do latecomers compete?• 1975 – foreign firm dominated• Tatung
– Managerial skills• First-movers, optimal-size plants, economies of
scale• Large, National firms• Government led networks / R&D• Outsourced manufacturing
