The Inside Story of China's High-Tech Industry

In the 1980s China faced the monumental task of creating, from scratch, internationally competitive companies. This challenge was especially daunting in the information and communications technology sector. The Inside Story of China's High-Tech Industry describes the emergence and growth of this industry through an analysis of China's leading science park, Beijing's Zhongguancun. Zhou argues that, in the case of China, it is the conjunction of export and domestic markets that has provided the main impetus to technological learning and the development of industry competitiveness. This is the best treatment to date of China's most important innovation region.Zhou, Yu is the author of 'The Inside Story of China's High-Tech Industry', published 2008 under ISBN 9780742555808 and ISBN 0742555801.
