Leoma and the Us Laser Industry
The Good and Bad Moves for Trade Associations in Emerging High-Tech Industries
The U.S. laser industry is a major player in the country's economy, with its products used in factories, laboratories, offices, homes and motor vehicles around the country. The issues addressed by the laser industry during the past several decades - patent litigation, worker education, export controls, international standardization, and others - are those that any emerging high-tech industry will have to face. Offering a roadmap for future technology development and commercialization, this book chronicles the laser and electro-optics industry and its issues for business executives, scientists and technicians, attorneys, journalists, historians, and others.
This book describes the approaches, both successful and not, to the political and infrastructure issues addressed by the trade association. The intent is to provide guidance to those confronting similar issues, and help them avoid unsuccessful approaches.
