- Summary:
- This collection of eleven articles on business development in Asia examines innovation and evolution among industrial clusters and the move from being repositories of inexpensive materials and labor to a new role as engines of international production and producers in the knowledge economy. The volume is divided into sections covering the background of Asian industrial business, the development of clusters for upgrading and innovation, and innovation within clusters. Individual papers address topics such as promoting regional integration through industrial cluster policies, industrial upgrading and development in the electronics industries, and the effect of technological networks on research and development in small and medium sized industrial firms. The contributors are academics in economics and business related disciplines from Asian and European universities. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
