The Brazilian Microcomputer Industry: A Case Study on a High-Technology Infant Industry
Abstract
dc:description"From 1977 to 1992, Brazil sustained a broad and restrictive protective policy for computer related products. Other countries, such as England, Germany, India, Japan and Korea, also adopted infant industry policies for computers, but the Brazilian strategy stood out for the scope of the policy and its strong opposition to foreign participation. Imports and foreign investments were practically ruled out of a wide range of products in order to develop the domestic production of ""informatics"" goods. Moreover, in contrast to other countries, the Brazilian State had a relative small participation in domestic production, which relied mainly on private firms."
