Strategic Implications of Microelectronics

Peter Trier

Chapter 3 in The Managerial Implications of Microelectronics, 1981, pp 45-60 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The words ‘microprocessor’ and ‘microelectronics’ are not two expressions for the same thing. Microelectronics is a large subject of which the microprocessor is an important embodiment. In fact, the microprocessor has become a powerful and emotive symbol of the technology of microelectronics. But although the microprocessor is only one embodiment, it is possibly the most important one in its range of applications, particularly applications outside the traditional realm of electronics, and also as a product of the marriage between semiconductor and information technology. It enables us to combine, in a single compact electrical circuit, activities which have traditionally been handled separately, i.e. the functions of Information, Communication and Control.
