The dynamics of state-firm strategic coordination reflect the active motivation of firms to invest in innovation2. State-firm strategic coordination enlarges the resource base of firms and thereby improves their innovative performance 3.4 Explaining the Innovative Performance of China's ICT Industry through State-Firm Strategic Coordination; 3.4.1 State-firm strategic coordination before the reform and opening-up in China; (1) Strategic Selectivity of the State and the National Innovation System; (2) Passive Reaction of Firms; 3.4.2 State-firm strategic coordination after the reform and opening-up in China; (1) The Rise of China and State Strategies for Technical Standard-Setting(2) Strategic Selectivity, Reaction of Firms and Regional Differences in State-Firm Coordination 3.5 Summary; Chapter Four The Geography of Technological Innovation in China's ICT Industry; 4.1 Introduction; 4.2 Historicizing the Growth and Innovation of China's ICT Industry; 4.3 Growth and Nature of China's ICT Industry; 4.4 Spatial Distribution, Clustering and Technological Innovation; 4.4.1 Spatial Agglomeration and Economic and Innovative Performance; 4.4.2 Localized linkages, knowledge exchange and technological innovation4.4.3 Beyond clustering: Attributes, motivation and strategies of firms, state-firm strategic coordination and technological innovation 4.5 Summary; Chapter Five State-Firm Strategic Coordination and the Growth of the Integrated Circuit Design Industry in Shanghai; 5.1 Introduction; 5.2 Growth, Distribution and Innovation of the IC Design Industry in Shanghai; 5.3 State-Firm Strategic Coordination and Uneven Technological Innovation in Shanghai; 5.3.1 Strategies and selectivity of the central government; 5.3.2 Institutional environment as well as strategies and selectivity of local governments5.3.3 Industrial policies and IC design developments in ShanghaiThis book effectively challenges the conventional wisdom regarding the cluster-innovation relationship and provides convincing evidence to show that the prevailing theoretical models derived from Anglo-American experiences cannot be uncritically applied to Chinese reality. This book introduces a new theory of state-firm coordination to explain why and how some Chinese ICT firms have turned out to be more innovative than others. Perspectives from the viewpoint of economic geography, institutional economics, political science, and regulation theory have been provided to throw light on the enigmaTechnological innovationsChinaInformation technologyChinaElectronic books.Technological innovationsInformation technology338.470040951Wang Cassandra C893697MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465840503321Upgrading China's information and communication technology industry1996360UNINA
