Book Description
In this book Alice Amsden and Wan-wen Chu cover new ground by analyzing the phenomenon of high-end catch-up. They study how leading firms from the most advanced latecomer countries like Taiwan have increased their market share in mature high-tech industries and services.
The profits that true innovators in these industries once enjoyed have already declined, but profit rates are still above average. The latecomer firm that succeeds in capturing these rents earns "second-mover" advantage. Amsden and Chu examine the successful second movers in electronics and modern services. The critical factors, they show, are the government policies and large-scale firms that drive skills, speed, and scale. R&D in Taiwan was usually undertaken in conjunction with government labs, which prepared the way for local production of the next hot, mature product. Speed in ramping up at the firm level depended on project execution capabilities and access to capital. Scale proved to be an absolute entry requirement in modern service sectors, and was crucial to win subcontracts from leading foreign firms and to secure key components from world-class suppliers in the electronics industry.
The authors challenge current orthodoxy along two lines. First, they argue that government played an important role through interventions that went beyond the market model and overcame the limitations of networking. Interventions possibly promoted mature high-tech even more than mid-tech. Second, the entrepreneurs in Taiwan were nationally owned large-scale firms rather than multinational companies.

Customer Reviews:
Disappointing,... Only for Techies........2003-06-03
Really disappointed. We purchased this book for use within our Big Five consulting team. For some reason, we never really used it. When I left to work for a smaller strategy consulting firm, I soon found out why. The book is geared exclusively for software and IT proposals. It is so specific that very little transfers to other uses. Also -- and this is a big negative as far as I'm concerned -- there is very little discussion on the importance of stressing client benefits over product attributes. In fact, the book spends most of its time discussing how to communicate product specifications and implementation processes. Understand, buyers purchase your products and services because they benefit the buyer. Not because they are thrilled with your "gee-whiz" and "whiz-bang" product attributes. They want to know how much will this service save me? how much more profit will I earn? Your proposal is a marketing tool. It must clearly underscore the benefits your customer will derive from the purchase of your product or service over other alternatives. However, you never would have known of the importance of writing the proposal from the client's view after having read this disappointing book.
A note from the author..........2002-09-11
The purpose of this book is to provide you with a practical guide to writing and organizing sales proposals - with emphasis on "practical". Instead of discussing salesmanship 101, sales theories, and proposal war stories, this book focuses on developing the materials and a process for writing winning proposals.
This book is useful not only as a writing guide, but as a proposal resource to show management how professional proposals are resourced, managed, and written. These ideas and others are explored in this new edition.
Book Description
In a panoramic study that draws on diverse sources, Jerry Jacobs and Kathleen Gerson explain why and how time pressures have emerged and what we can do to alleviate them. In contrast to the conventional wisdom that all Americans are overworked, they show that time itself has become a form of social inequality that is dividing Americans in new ways--between the overworked and the underemployed, women and men, parents and non-parents. They piece together a compelling story of the increasing mismatch between our economic system and the needs of American families, sorting out important trends such as the rise of demanding jobs and the emergence of new pressures on dual earner families and single parents.
Comparing American workers with their European peers, Jacobs and Gerson also find that policies that are simultaneously family-friendly and gender equitable are not fully realized in any of the countries they examine. As a consequence, they argue that the United States needs to forge a new set of solutions that offer American workers new ways to integrate work and family life.
Customer Reviews:
The truth about why work and family conflict.......2004-12-27
Jacobs & Gerson present a clear explication of the conflict between work and family encountered by so many parents today. They review popular hypotheses (e.g. Americans work more hours than they used to), examine the relevant research, and provide sound and clearly reasoned conclusions. THE TIME
DIVIDE clarifies precisely why current workplace structures are
incompatible with the realities of family life today - and why this is especially the case for professionals, like the lawyers I coach. I applaud Jacobs and Gerson for making clear
that work/life conflict is a social policy issue of enormous
importance. They make a compelling case for the ways in which
individual choices are constrained by workplace demands and social norms. If every law firm partner read this book, would things finally change enough so that women lawyers would have a fair chance at success and leadership? Would that it were so.

What's the "secret sauce" that makes this book so helpful? Simple. It's based on decades of real world selling, not on concepts that sound good in the classroom. It's about what works in the corner office or the boardroom...where the final decisions are made!
