Abstract

This work’s reputation is already well established in the academic world. It has been the recipient of Economist Award and numerous others, and it is in fact a monumental achievement. Its methodological approach is clear and incisive; its research on the LCD sector and analysis of the patents acquired is comprehensive; and its research methods include careful attention to the accounts of many people who have worked in this sector. As the discussion that follows can only begin to show, this research, rather than give way to passing trends, seeks to explain the very essence of technological innovation.
