Abstract

An analysis is made of how different firms in Japan and Europe have accumulated competence related to optoelectronics on the basis of their previous experience and corporate strategies. The sample consists of a set of seven Japanese and four European firms in the industrial, consumer electronics and materials sectors. A quantitative evaluation is complemented by results from intensive interviews with the management and scientists of the firms involved. The findings show that there is a marked variation in the way firms' technological trajectories have evolved giving rise to strengths in some and weaknesses in other sub fields for the different companies, which are related to their accumulated core competencies, previous core business activities and organisational, marketing and competitive factors.
