The Globalisation of Production and Technology
註釋Industrial corporations are increasingly spreading their research and production, shifting away from their established industrial heartlands and opening up new overseas centres. This book is the first broad survey of this process and its implications for corporate strategy and industrial change. It reveals that since the 1980s a major shift has occurred in the overseas activities of firms, although variable by sector and nationality. Initially production centres shifted but now increasing sales, research and development and management functions have become geographically fluid, literally redrawing the world economic map. By integrating theoretical perspectives with original case study research, the book outlines the scale, nature and impact of the process and outlines the challenges and implications both for corporate management strategy and government and supranational industrial and innovation policy.
