Description
This book is about the causes and major consequences of the rise of Asia in the IT industry. It focuses on six regions/countries: Japan, especially Fukuoka in the South; Teheran Valley in Seoul; Zhongguancun Science Park in Beijing; Hsinchu Science-based Park in Taiwan; Singapore; and Bangalore in India.
"...offers stimulating, informative, and authoritative accounts of the enduring issues that affect IT in the region. The volume should therefore serve as an important standard reference in what has become a very large literature on the subject, and would be a very useful addition in advanced courses on Asian political economy and high-tech industrial development."—East Asian Science, Technology, and Medicine
"Making IT harvests a bumper crop of useful information, facts, and figures... Making IT is solidly informative about the origins and evolutions of IT industries in Asia."—Business History Review
"Making IT is an excellent work of collective scholarship. The book provides a wealth of information on one of the most striking episodes in economic development of the past few decades—the rise to global prominence in the IT sector of a part of the world that had long been regarded as a technological backwater."—Nathan Rosenberg, Stanford University
"The great strength of Making IT lies in its detailed case studies of Taiwan, India, Singapore, Korea, China, and Japan. The comparative focus on high-tech clusters and the explicit comparisons to Silicon Valley as the leader and model make an excellent contribution to our understanding of the high-tech cluster phenomenon and the ongoing competitive rise of the Asian economies considered in the book."—Hugh Patrick, Columbia University
