Abstract: In this paper the current state of development in the electronics industry and the impact that foreign investment has on peripheral economies are examined. With the Scottish electronics industry as an example, the likely impact on the growth of indigenous firms from Japanese and US investment is explored. The author argues in favour of a more direct policy role for government in assisting the establishment of growth in spin-off indigenous firms from the foreign subsidiary base currently present in the Scottish electronics industry.
