Purpose - This study aims to understand how Brazilian design houses (DHs) use open innovation in joint development projects for integrated circuits. Design/methodology/approach As a research strategy, qualitative research using multiple case studies was made. As sources of evidence,...

Global forces have shaped the world since the indus-trial and digital ages. A recent perspective on globalization acknowledges the growth of three supranational economic, social, and manufacturing blocs, namely the USA, the EU, and most recently, China. In this larger picture China contends with...

We focus on the estimation of market entry costs that are declining over time and evaluate their impact on competition and market performance. We employ a dynamic oligopoly model in which firms make entry, exit, and production decisions in the presence of declining entry costs and learning by...

Semiconductors represent a major building block of high-tech industry. This chapter analyzes the trajectory of China's rapidly growing semiconductor sector, focusing on the interplay among global technology developments, Chinese government policy, and three groups of firms: purely domestic...

Purpose: Existing productivity improvements activities such as inventory buffer, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and total productive maintenance (TPM) do not analytically associate the throughput shortage with process parameters. The paper aims to develop and test an integrated model to...

The semiconductor production supply chain is among the most globally integrated. Japan's recently announced export control actions have introduced supply chain risks for semiconductor and electronics manufacturers, particularly in Japan and Korea. This paper provides context and examines the...

This study investigates the impact of firm-specific discount factors on merger formation and market performance. We estimate firm-specific discount factors for 228 publicly traded and privately held firms operating in the semiconductor market and apply a heterogeneous treatment effects model...

"The ban on sales of ZTE, imposed by the US, made China feel the weight of a small chip. The ban is termed as a trade war. What is the truth behind this trade friction? Why did the Chinese microchip industry encounter such a predicament? What is the future of the microchip industry in China?...

This volume describes the most salient changes faced by key Chinese industry sectors as defining components of global and domestic macroeconomic performance. Set within the context of the Global China 2049 initiative, which aims to transform the country into a fully advanced and developed...

Introduction -- Chapter 1 Structural changes of the Chinese economy: from the New Dream to Covid19 -- Chapter 2 Can China be less dependent on exports? -- Chapter 3 Chinese innovation capacity: state of the art of the leading edge -- Chapter 4 Chinese diplomacy, strategic partnerships and global...
