-- From the farm to the valley : Stanford University and

the next Silicon Valley.
520 What is the magic formula for turning a place into a high-
tech capital? How can a city or region become a high-tech
powerhouse like Silicon Valley? For over half a century,
through boom times and bust, business leaders and
politicians have tried to become ""the next Silicon Valley,
"" but few have succeeded. This book examines why high-
tech development became so economically important late in
the twentieth century, and why its magic formula of people,
jobs, capital, and institutions has been so difficult to
replicate. Margaret O'Mara shows that high-tech regions
are not simply accidental marke.
