Abstract

Samsung leapfrogged from a mere discrete device producer to the largest and most vibrant memory chip producer in the world. It managed effectively the two antecedents of technological learning: prior knowledge base and the intensity of efforts. Samsung used technology licensing and the recruitment of high caliber scientists and engineers in building its prior knowledge base and crisis construction as a strategic means for increasing the intensity of its efforts. Samsung also used internal competition to accelerate technological learning.
