Abstract

regional world
The new regionalism had led to increasing emphasis on coevolution between technologies, organizations and terrotories. The liability of these regionalist approaches, however, is a focus on broad evolutionary pictures that pays little attention to coordination processes that guide collective actions. Using the Taiwanese informationtechnology industry as the case, this paper suggests an industrial system approach that gives a structural coherence to a series of intentional, collective actions. Such a structural approach has the potential to extend regionalist analysis beyond the broadly evolutionary to the strategic transformations of industrial organizations.
