Impact of Firm‐Based Environmental Standards on Subsidiaries and Their Suppliers: Evidence from Motorola‐Penang
How successful are multinational corporations in extending their firm‐based environmental standards to their subsidiaries and those subsidiaries' local suppliers in their global production networks in developing countries? We address this question through an in‐depth case study of how Motorola, a prominent multinational electronics firm with an extensive global production network, is using a set of firm‐based standards to meet several new stringe…
Global Standards and the Environmental Performance of Industry
In this paper we examine the emergence of firm-based global environmental standards as an approach to managing the environmental performance of complex global production networks. Firm-based global environmental standards exist when a firm defines a uniform set of process and product environmental performance requirements that must be adhered to by all of a firm's facilities around the world, even if these firm-based standards exceed the requirem…
Inter-firm Collaboration and Technology Development Partnerships Within US Manufacturing Industries
The paper examines the conditions under which firms enter into technology development partnerships with customers, suppliers and other firms. Three conceptual approaches to inter-firm collaboration are examined, namely: transactions costs theory; resource-strategy theories of the firm; and network theory. Drawing upon data collected in a mailed questionnaire survey of US manufacturing establishments in the chemical, electronics and instruments in…

Occupational safety and health in Poland in the 1990s: A regulatory system adapting to societal transformation
Industrial Ecology and Clean Development in East Asia
Rapid industry‐led growth in East Asia over the past three decades has resulted in deteriorating air and water quality, escalating energy use and attendant increases in greenhouse gas emissions, and other serious environmental concerns. Current efforts to strengthen environmental regulatory institutions are in many cases overridden by the scale effects of urban‐industrial growth. We examine policy approaches that support a shift toward an alterna…
Restructuring for Innovation: The Remaking of the U.S. Semiconductor Industry
Global Localization? Japanese Research and Development Laboratories in the USA
In this paper the manufacturing strategies underlying the growing number of Japanese research and development (R&D) laboratories in the United States are examined. In particular, we assess the extent to which Japanese R&D in the United States is consistent with a model of global localization. The analysis is based upon data collected by a mailed questionnaire survey and through interviews with the directors of Japanese R&D laboratories. In its ba…
Constructing Consensus: Environmental Policy Making in Massachusetts
In this paper we consider whether consensual approaches to environmental policy making—that is, policies that seek to foster cooperation and the search for consensus among industry, environmental groups, and regulatory authorities—are likely to succeed when pursued by states and local areas. Recent work in industrial and urban ecology suggests considerable benefits derive from a regulatory approach centered around cooperation, trust, and the sear…

Restructuring for Innovation: The Remaking of the U.S. Semiconductor Industry
Once the dominant force in the world semiconductor industry, the United States rapidly lost market share to Japan during the 1980s. Over the last few years, however, such U.S. firms as Intel, Motorola, and Texas Instruments have led the way in a dramatic reversal of the trend. In this fascinating and insightful volume, David P. Angel offers the first examination of how the United States was able to respond successfully to the challenge of global …

Tighter Bonds? Customer-Supplier Linkages in Semiconductors
ANGEL D. P. (1994) Tighter bonds? Customer-supplier linkages in semiconductors, Reg. Studies 28, 187–200. This paper examines changing linkage relations between high technology firms and their semiconductor suppliers. In an effort to improve manufacturing performance and accelerate the pace of technology development, high technology firms are establishing closer ties with semiconductor suppliers. To date, the restructuring of supplier relations h…
Meeting the demand for affordable housing: State intervention in Massachusetts
This paper examines the response of Massachusetts to problems of housing affordability during the 1980s. State and local government historically has not played a major role in housing provision within the United States of America, constrained by fiscal dependence upon the federal government and by a lack of control over the more significant determinants of housing market performance. In the face of intensified problems of housing affordability an…
High-Technology Agglomeration and the Labor Market: The Case of Silicon Valley
In this paper the pattern of labor-market activity associated with major high-technology agglomerations within the USA are examined, drawing upon the results of a mailed questionnaire survey of firms in the semiconductor industry. The analysis is focused upon the cluster of specialized semiconductor firms in Silicon Valley, to determine the contribution of local labor-market processes to the growth and development of this high-technology producti…
Intermetropolitan Wage Disparities and Industrial Change
This paper examines the changing regional geography of wages within the United States during the recent period of economic and employment restructuring. Economic restructuring has been accompanied by widespread attempts to reduce direct wage costs and, more generally, by a realignment of labor relations away from union negotiated wage agreements. We investigate the geography of wage change, using hourly wage data drawn from Bureau of Labor Statis…
New Firm Formation in the Semiconductor Industry: Elements of a Flexible Manufacturing System
ANGEL D. P. (1990) New firm formation in the semiconductor industry: elements of a flexible manufacturing system, Reg. Studies 24, 211–221. This paper examines the proliferation of small start-up firms in the US semiconductor industry during the 1980s. Much of the success of start-up firms derives from their ability to provide a high quality and flexible production capability within low volume and fast turnaround product markets. In order to achi…

The Labor Market for Engineers in the U.S. Semiconductor Industry
This paper examines the organization and geography of the labor market for engineers in the U.S. semiconductor industry. The analysis is based upon work history data collected through a questionnaire survey of semiconductor production engineers. Locational agglomeration of semiconductor production in Silicon Valley is accompanied by an intensive localized dynamic of labor mobility in which engineers move between firms in a series of short term em…

The Global Assembly-Operations of US Semiconductor Firms: A Geographical Analysis
The paper begins with a brief description of assembly processes in the semiconductor industry. The organizational structure and geography of the assembly operations of US semiconductor firms are then considered. Two issues in particular are examined, namely (a) the conditions under which vertical integration and disintegration of assembly tend to occur, and (b) the reasons why most semiconductor assembly is performed offshore. Lengthy empirical d…
The US Semiconductor Industry: A Locational Analysis
This paper is a theoretical and empirical analysis of the locational dynamics of the US semiconductor industry. The analysis proceeds in six major stages. First, we review some recent developments in industrial location theory. Second, we describe the main technological and organizational features of the semiconductor industry. Third, we provide an empirical overview of the growth and development of the industry in the USA. Fourth, we examine the…
