HSIP inside: Upgraded OEMs that empowers latecomer Brands One of three cellphones in the world are MediaTek inside HSIP based chipset provider MediaTek underpins the growth of no brand and copycat smartphone makers in China 70% of Lenovo s smartphones are equipped with MediaTek s chipset 12
HSIP in-between: shifting battle lines between the alliance and the rivals of specialized manufacturers United States TSMC, the first pure foundry, makes chips for designers with no factories of their own like MediaTek Unlike SAMSUNG makes processors both for itself and for Apple, TSMC won the contract over SAMSUNG to make chips for iphones and ipads Shanghai Taiwan Singapore 9 of TSMC s 12 operating fabs are located in Taiwan (6 fabs in HSIP) 13
Revisiting the Interface node: the changing patterns of cross-border business networks? Silicon Valley Chinese Coastal Cities HSIP Rising China More Chinese brands have became global leaders Building their own connections with Silicon Valley Becoming a capital and technical exporter Changing geopolitical and geoeconomic dynamics Taiwan-Japan collaboration in ope-electronics Cross-industry knowledge diffusion in HSIP *see Hu (2011) Evolution of knowledge creation and diffusion- the revisit of Taiwan's Hsinchu Science Park 14
