Editorial Reviews
Review
'This book is the most comprehensive account to date of the processes of technological adoption and diffusion that have underpinned much of East Asian growth and development. It will become an immediate point of reference for all specialists in the region and for those concerned with technological dynamics more generally.' Chalmers Johnson, Japan Policy Research Institute, Cardiff, California
'I found myself almost unable to put the manuscript down … and have gained a lot from the work. I will certainly use and refer to it in my future research on industrial policy, East Asia, competitiveness and technology.' Sanjaya Lall, Green College, University of Oxford
'This book represents a major contribution to the literature on the sources of international competitiveness and to comparative politics … its combination of theoretical innovation and thick empirical description will be of interest to all readers.' Jeffrey Hart, Department of Political Science, Indiana University, Bloomington
'An illuminating study.' Financial Times

John A. Mathews is Eni Chair of Competitive Dynamics and Global Strategy at LUISS Guido Carli University, in Rome, where he teaches International Business. Prior to taking up this position in September 2009, he was Professor of Strategic Management at Macquarie Graduate School of Management, Macquarie University in Sydney, where he has taught graduate MBA classes for the past decade. He is the author of several books including Strategizing, Disequilibrium and Profit (Stanford University Press, 2006), Dragon Multinational: A New Model of Global Growth (Oxford University Press, 2002), Tiger Technology: The Creation of a Semiconductor Industry in East Asia (Cambridge University Press, 2000), this latter appearing in a Chinese translation published by Peking University Press, in August 2009. As a specialist in industrial dynamics, technology and innovation, Professor Mathews has become deeply interested in the renewable energy industries and low-carbon technologies and prospects for speeding up their introduction as the primary means of dealing with global warming. He has a particular interest in biofuels industries and biochar, and is publishing on these industries, particularly on the prospects for developing countries, in such leading journals as Energy Policy and BioFPR. Professor Mathews has worked internationally with UNCTAD, UNIDO and with the World Bank, and was a Visiting Scholar at the Rockefellar Foundation Study Center at Bellagio, in Italy, in September 2004. He has addressed several conferences on energy and biofuels, and in November 2008 was a keynote speaker at the World Ethanol Conference in Paris. In 2007 he won the support of the Rockefeller Foundation to stage a weeklong conference on global issues in biofuels, which took place at the Foundation's Bellagio conference center in March 2008.
