Abstract

Using the U.S. patents as the surrogate measure of technological positions, this paper examines the competitive positions of the industrial nations such as, the U.S., United Kingdom, France, West Germany, Canada, and Japan in high technology areas during the period 1975 to 1988. High technology industry is denned as the one which requires high proportion of R&D expenditure and employs a high proportion of scientists and engineers. High-tech industries were further subdivided into four categories, equipment, consumer durable, nondurable, and intermediate products in terms of their market and/or use. It also examines how different countries have specialized in different product market areas within the high tech sector. To better understand. © 1991, IEEE. All rights reserved.
