Brazilian Semiconductor Industry: Technological Change and Competitiveness
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper intends to investigate how process and product technological changes are sought and conducted by Brazilian semiconductor companies. The semiconductor sector (strongly represented by chips) deserves special attention in the set of links composing the various supply chains of the electronic industrial complex, since it is highly strategic in this context. A survey with all semiconductor manufacturers and other players from the sector was conducted, and results were compiled in order to qualify technological efforts and changes in these companies. A literature review was thoroughly conducted, and an analysis of the semiconductor industry and trends was also detailed. Results showed the strong dependency of technological efforts and showed some leads for a further investigation on the means to overcome the obstacles this industry currently faces.
