This quantity consitutes a precis of numerous years' multi-disciplinary study via a gaggle of Swedish researchers. The venture 'Sweden's Technological structures and destiny improvement capability' was once initiated by way of the Swedish nationwide Board for business and Technical improvement (NUTEK) and has been performed on the division of business administration and Economics at Chalmers collage of expertise in Gothenburg, the examine coverage Institute on the collage of Lund, the commercial Institute for financial and Social examine (lUI) in Stockholm, and the dept of business Economics and administration on the Royal Insitute of know-how, Stockholm, below the path of Bo Carlsson, Case Western Reserve collage, Cleveland, Ohio. The venture staff determined early directly to concentration fIrst at the technological process for manufacturing unit automation - a comparatively mature method of serious value to Swedish and within which Sweden has reached a number one place the world over - after which to shift the eye to different structures in numerous levels of improvement and with various Swedish energy. The paintings on manufacturing unit automation led to various papers and guides, summarized in a quantity released in 1995 (Technological structures and monetary functionality: The Case of manufacturing unit Automation, ed. Bo Carlsson. Dordrecht.

Grupp (1990), for example, points out that there is a quite consistent correlation between the ranking of nations according to the state of their civilian-market technologies and their trading positions. An understanding of the magnitude and distribution across technologies, firms and industries of scientific and technological efforts ought therefore to be central to any analysis of competitive advantage and economic growth. Indeed, Rappa et af. (1992, p. "1 The main purpose of this chapter is to attempt to analyze the Swedish 'technological landscape,' focusing on two questions: first, what are the characteristics of technological specialization in Sweden and, second, what trends can be discerned regarding Sweden's share of the technological efforts in the OECD countries?
