Parallel Convergence : National Strategies in Information Technology

This book is about actions corporate and government policymakers are taking, their reasons, and how they can be more effective. Authors Erik Arnold and Ken Guy analyze the major sectors of the electronics countries in three groups of OECD economies--large: the United States, Japan, and the European Economic Community; medium: the United Kingdom, France, and Germany; and small: Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, and Canada. They deal, in turn, with the kinds of Advanced Information Technology policies that can be formulated, those that are likely to succeed, and how those policies can be actively and economically implemented.
