Episode 261: Foxconn and TSMC in 2018 with Tim Culpan by analyseasia published on 2018-08-17T14:46:16Z Tim Culpan from Bloomberg joined us in a conversation on the two technology giants from Taiwan: Foxconn and TSMC and how they have evolved for the past three years since 2015. First, Tim started the discussion with Foxconn and the major milestones in the past three years from the acquisition of Sharp to the recent listing of FIH Mobile and Foxconn's efforts on automation and robotics in manufacturing. Next, Tim discussed the recent leadership transition in TSMC and where they are heading in the next few years. Genre Business Comment by Rick Lee Tim's original episodes on Foxconn and TSMC are worth listening to and this is the follow up on the conversations before. Surprised by how much Apple succeeded with them as suppliers. 2018-08-19T05:49:04Z Comment by screwtape Interesting to hear such an in depth discussion on TSMC and Foxconn with the differences in how they look at leadership succcession. 2018-08-17T22:48:20Z Comment by whitewarlord Interesting episode with the Taiwanese tech giants. I wish that Tim can cover the other Taiwanese companies for example HTC. Followed his twitter and it's great to hear him speak. 2018-08-17T22:40:10Z Comment by bujingyun Great episode by Tim once again and with the discussion on TSMC and Foxconn, it should be two episodes instead of one. But interesting to note that they are both tied to Apple in one way or another. 2018-08-17T22:39:03Z
