"I think TSMC succeeded because it was flexible, adaptive, and knew where the opportunities were and exploited those opportunities," she continued. "It is a brilliant organization."
Taipei, Sept. 21 (CNA) Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) succeeded because it was "flexible, adaptive, and knew where the opportunities were and exploited them," a U.S.-based professor said, noting that it has the same chance of succeeding in the United States as it did in Taiwan.

Meredith Woo, a professor of Arizona State University's (ASU) School of Politics and Global Studies and a scholar specializing in political economy and industrial policy, made the comments before she gave a talk in Taipei on Friday at the invitation of the Center for Asia-Pacific Resilience and Innovation, a public policy research-focused think tank based in Taiwan.

Before the closed-door talk, Woo told the local media in an interview that while there are differences between Taiwan and the U.S. in manufacturing, workplace culture, and work organization, "I don't actually worry about it very much," as long as the two parties work together to narrow the gap "with openness and willingness."

The foundry model definitely help greatly. All those customers, suppliers, and partners keep feeding real market status and future trends with the foundry.

IDM, such as Intel, they often need to anticipate or "guess" market demand and future trends on their own.
 
“She said TSMC has made "a very calculated and smart move in relocating to Arizona," as the state of Arizona is a stronghold of the semiconductor industry and innovation in the U.S.”

“"I don't actually worry about it very much," as long as the two parties work together to narrow the gap "with openness and willingness."

TSMC is neither open nor has shown willingness!
 
Interesting article. I like how TSMC is upping their PR game in AZ. They took a beating in the press at the start. It really seemed to me a race issue. California would never have had that issue.
 
I wonder if TSMC will release their local hire ethnic make up as well as turnover rate by ethnicity?
