Winning in High-Tech Markets: The Role of General Management

Abstract: Morone's investigation into the role of general management in building competitive advantage on the basis of technology highlights three U.S. successes in high-tech markets. GE Medical Systems, Motorola Communications, and Corning are among a small number of U.S. businesses that have built global leadership in precisely the kinds of high-tech markets in which many U.S. firms have been outperformed by their Japanese counterparts. Morone explores the managerial strategies, practices, and philosophies behind their success, and how these influenced, and were influenced by, technology development. His conclusion that successful firms are often those whose corporate strategies are shaped by technology opportunities is striking in its divergence from the conventional wisdom about American managerial practice and the role that government can play in promoting high-technology strength. This book will be of interest to all managers in high-tech firms, to general readers concerned with issues of U.S. competitiveness, and to policymakers and analysts.

Globalization in the technosystem: Global corporations in relation to energy and the environment

Abstract: This article develops ideas on globalization in the technosystem and focuses on the paramount link between energy, the environment and the economy. The present competitive turbulence reflects on the challenges that lie ahead for many global corporations. Business in the 1990s will be environment and technology driven. In world trade, we will see a shift from the primary energy sector to energy conserving conversion equipment. The world economy will be less dependent on primary energy and more dependent on the equipment and the technology to convert energy efficiently. Global warming is a fact. The goal of environmental protection must be to completely eliminate new additional output of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. To do this and other measures, global leadership in environmental protection is needed. The article also creates a challenge for economics: what implications will the change in the behaviour of (global) companies have for macroeconomic research? Should we create new concepts and new frameworks so that we can identify and interpret more correctly the changed behaviour of companies? Should we improve theoretical models, so that their explanatory power will increase? Changes in the macro-environment force companies to change their behaviour. These changes in behaviour shape the macro-environment and movements inside it. It isjustified to ask whether we need new kinds of tools for the study and comprehension of this phenomenon.
