Política industrial, innovación, tecnología, semiconductores, Asia oriental.

Resumen

En Asia oriental se logró un crecimiento sostenido y elevado mediante el desarrollo de sofisticados sectores de exportación, especialmente en electrónica, encabezados por “campeones” nacionales. Utilizando la experiencia de cuatro importantes empresas de semiconductores de Asia oriental, argumentamos que cuatro ingredientes de la cooperación entre empresas y Estado fueron fundamentales para su éxito: ambición, autonomía, rendición de cuentas y adaptabilidad. Esta interacción entre el Estado y la empresa implicó ambiciosos objetivos y políticas por parte del estado, combinados con la autonomía operativa de las empresas, una estricta rendición de cuentas por el apoyo recibido y la adaptabilidad al entorno cambiante. Además, la competencia nacional e internacional, la colaboración con multinacionales y consorcios de investigación y la innovación propia empujaron a las empresas hacia la frontera tecnológica.
