Like the Greeks who sailed with Jason in search of the Golden Fleece, the new Argonauts--foreign-born, technically skilled entrepreneurs who travel back and forth between Silicon Valley and their home countries--seek their fortune in distant lands by launching companies far from established centers of skill and technology. Their story illuminates profound transformations in the global economy. Economic geographer AnnaLee Saxenian has followed this transformation, exploring one of its great paradoxes: how the "brain drain" has become "brain circulation," a powerful economic force for development of formerly peripheral regions. The new Argonauts--armed with Silicon Valley experience and relationships and the ability to operate in two countries simultaneously--quickly identify market opportunities, locate foreign partners, and manage cross-border business operations. "The New Argonauts" extends Saxenian's pioneering research into the dynamics of competition in Silicon Valley. The book brings a fresh perspective to the way that technology entrepreneurs build regional advantage in order to compete in global markets. Scholars, policymakers, and business leaders will benefit from Saxenian's firsthand research into the investors and entrepreneurs who return home to start new companies while remaining tied to powerful economic and professional communities in the United States. For Americans accustomed to unchallenged economic domination, the fast-growing capabilities of China and India may seem threatening. But as Saxenian convincingly displays in this pathbreaking book, the Argonauts have made America richer, not poorer.

阅读the new argonauts打开了一种全球化视角的新思维路径。当我们把世界想象成由点(大洲、国家、城市、区县、乡镇……)构成的时候,你会觉得潜在的机会最多就是点的个数。n个点就只有n种机会。但是这本书提倡一种网状的思维,点对点之间都可能存在机会,把点和点之间的优势杂交一下又是一种新的机会。例如,华侨将在外历练获得的知识带回家乡,利用他对家乡的熟悉将项目落地。那么n个点就会有n^2个潜在的... 阅读the new argonauts打开了一种全球化视角的新思维路径。当我们把世界想象成由点(大洲、国家、城市、区县、乡镇……)构成的时候,你会觉得潜在的机会最多就是点的个数。n个点就只有n种机会。但是这本书提倡一种网状的思维,点对点之间都可能存在机会,把点和点之间的优势杂交一下又是一种新的机会。例如,华侨将在外历练获得的知识带回家乡,利用他对家乡的熟悉将项目落地。那么n个点就会有n^2个潜在的机会,可能性空间大大增加了。 (展开)

Saxenian继前作区域优势又写的一本关于硅谷的区域经济分析。这次的分析放在了亚洲,对比了台湾,大陆,以色列,印度硅谷经济的嵌入和发展。1许多国家如新加坡,韩国,更倾向于引进外资而非建立本土的硅谷式信息产业产业链。2 书中提到中心和边缘,各个小硅谷的双向互动,并没有撼动美国的中心地位反而让美国硅谷越来越富。但是书中缺乏论述,有点没讲清楚。
