Acknowledgments

Mike Smitka wishes to acknowledge and thank Gerpisa Conference and Industrial Studies Association workshop participants as well as sabbatical funding from Washington and Lee University and research assistance from Reem Kandil and Gyung Jeong. Peter Warrian thanks the ISA, colleagues at the Innovation Policy Lab, University of Toronto and the Automotive Policy Research Centre, McMaster University.

We both must also thank our wives, Gloria and Margret, for their support, patience, and endurance through too many pedantic conversations.
