 note = {application/pdf, IDP000214_001, We have examined the way in which local Chinese firms confronted with a
technology gap have achieved growth, using the Chinese handset industry as a
case study. Chinese local firms have lacked technology, and have therefore turned
to outside firms for development, design, and manufacturing, while they
themselves have focused on sales and marketing, using their advantage of
familiarity with the Chinese market. Consequently, by establishing a growth
condition in which their selection of boundaries counterbalances the technology
gap they have been able to expand their market share in comparison with foreign
firms.},
