This phenomenon of converging innovation is likely to deepen and widen in the future due to intense competition in global markets. Asian manufacturing firms in particular lead the global industrial innovation. Convergent innovation exists as a constant disequilibrium between reference technology and matching technology; innovations of these technologies occur at different degrees to attain an optimal balance. Innovations as a result of convergence are often beneficial, improving welfare and employment. This book sheds light on the little-discussed idea of convergent innovation with examples hailing from Asia. The book also proposes new theories and investigates convergence at the micro level - guaranteed food for thought for academics interested in innovation economics and management. 000040735 650_0 $$aIndustries$$xTechnological innovations 000040735 650_0 $$aBusiness & Economics$$xManagement 000040735 655_4 $$aElectronic books 000040735 7102_ $$aRoutledge 000040735 7972_ $$aProQuest (Firm) 000040735 830__ $$aRoutledge Frontiers of Business Management 000040735 85640 $$uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/wipo/detail.action?docID=4662759$$zView this Ebook 000040735 904__ $$aBook 000040735 942__ $$2ddc$$cEBOOK 000040735 980__ $$aBIB 000040735 980__ $$aOS
