Lesson 10-2     Silicon valley

And on Asians.Already, orientals and Asian Americans constitute the majority of theengineering staffs at many Valley firms. And Chinese, Korean, Filipino andIndian engineers are graduating in droves from California's colleges. As theheads of next- generation start-ups, these Asian innovators can draw on customsand languages to forge tighter links with crucial Pacific Rim markets. Forinstance, Alex Au, a Stanford Ph. D. from Hong Kong, has set up a Taiwanfactory to challenge Japan's near lock on the memory-chip market. India-bornN.Damodar Reddy's tiny California company reopened an AT & T chip plant inKansas City last spring with financing from the state of Missouri. Before itbecomes a retirement village, Silicon Valley may prove a classroom for buildinga global business.
