“…The emergence of high technologies has accelerated the sustainable transformation of manufacturing industry and moved traditional manufacturing away from labour intensive, low-skill jobs and low added value towards high-skill jobs, high value-added and high-quality production (Bell, 1973;Zheng et al, 2020). This relocation currently entails moving from low-tech to high-tech, calling for an increased importance of research and development and a higher share of associated expenditure in total expenditures (Kelley et al, 2004). This conclusion contradicts the assumption that low or inadequate productivity is responsible for the low manufacturing competitiveness (Krugman & Lawrence, 1994).…”

“…As a result, as economic conditions change rapidly, high-tech manufacturing's current performance does not guarantee the same future success. There are factors enabling continuous performance increases in high-tech manufacturing as a source of advancement and powerful technologies (Kelley et al, 2004):…”

The paper examines the recent developments in the high-technology manufacturing sectors in the EU28 countries, focusing on the β-convergence of gross value added in the Manufacture of computers, electronic, and optical products, and the Manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations. We employ two dynamic panel models estimated using the system of generalized method of moments (GMM) to address the risk of an endogeneity bias. The panel data analysis indicates a higher convergence for the Manufacture of computer, electronic, and optical products at 16.4% compared to 2.2% for the Manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations, which is consistent with the existence of fewer barriers and higher exposure to competition in the case of the first analyzed sector. In the context of the role of the high-technology manufacturing industries as an engine of growth and the existing performance differences between the EU28 countries in terms of gross value added in the analyzed sectors, we investigated the β-convergence for two groupings EU15 and the new EU member states. We found that the new EU member states display a higher β-convergence rate than EU15, but also that they have a lower capital intensity. The result highlights the potential risk of some of the new EU member states becoming laggers in terms of the underlying factors behind gross value added as investment and labour force.

As innovation has been outsourced globally, it has joined manufacturing organizations consisting of diverse cultures, geographies, and partnerships. The use of third-party resources to manage design and innovation has resulted in a new system of knowledge management. As the industry's organizational and financial boundaries have attenuated, a new type of leadership challenge has emerged, creating the research question: Are there leadership practices or styles that effectively guide organizations that rely on the outsourcing of innovation and manufacturing to Taiwan and China in the computing industry? A qualitative case study method was used to investigate the differing leadership practices applied within a dialectic global production network in which a system of innovation and manufacturing has emerged. The analysis considers a full range of leadership behaviours used when facing the challenges of outsourcing R&D.
