Douglas B. Fuller is a Professor in the Department of Business Administration of Zhejiang University's School of Management. He previously taught at King's College London, Chinese University of Hong Kong, and American University in Washington, DC. His research spans the political economy of development, technology policy and strategy, and comparative capitalism with a geographic focus on East Asia.

Fuller provides detailed post-mortems of ill-managed state projects, with the most rigorous treatments reserved for IC fabrication and IC design.
