Product strategy is extremely critical to high-tech companies. The market continuously evaluates and rewards or punishes competitors based primarily on the success or failure of their products. Because of the dynamic nature of high-tech markets, product strategy becomes even more critical than in other industries. This strategy cannot be static, but must be constantly adapting to the changes in...

The financial and non-financial involvement of venture capitalists is supposed to be positively correlated with firm performance. This paper deals with the evaluation of the impact of venture capitalists on employment growth of new founded firms. Differences between high-tech and low-tech industries as well as the impact of other investors are analyzed. The estimation results show that survivin...

The industry – and primarily its processing sector was remains the leading economic activity, which can be evidenced by intensified reshoring processes in developed EU countries. However, competitiveness or enduring ability to withstand competition due availability of appropriate potential, realized only if a high level efficiency is achieved. This largely depends on existing structural paramet...

This paper examines the effect of innovation on export decision in Chinese high-tech firms during the period of 2005-2007. Using a parametric, instrumental variable approach and a non-parametric matching method, we find that firm-level innovation efforts, measured by R&D spending and new product output, play only a minor role for domestic exporters. Foreign-invested firms dominate the high-tech...

Some commentators have emphasised the 'structural' difference between construction and other industrial sectors (construction is low tech., one-off, other manufacturing industries can amortize R+D costs over long production runs, etc). Others have considered the organisational aspect of the industry, focussing on issues of discipline specialisation, organisational fragmentation and adversarial ...

Flexibility and innovation at creating shapes, adapting processes, and modifying materials characterize composites materials, a "high-tech" industry. However, the absence of standard manufacturing processes and the selection of materials with defined properties hinder the configuration of the composites materials supply chain. An interesting alternative for a "high-tech" industry such as compos...
