Planning Electronic Developments for Industry (Abstract)

The relationship of principal electronic sectors to macroeconomic factors provides a useful alternative for assessing the long-term potential of the electronic industry. This alternative forecast suggests that the principal world electronic market have a potential to increase their growth rates through the 1980´s as compared to recent growth history. This accelerated growth is spurred by semiconductor technology, particularly by low-cost logic and memory, which are just now beginning to be dispersed broadly in consumer and industrial applications.
