Experimental Learning, Inclusive Growth and Industrialised Economies in Asia

This book explores how small nations can mobilise and use productive activities to generate inclusive growth and rapidly move up the economic ladder. In this study, Dr. Wong explores how Korea and Taiwan came to balance between commanding critical technological competencies and driving inclusive-economic agendas and ultimately culminates decades of moving up the value chain for the two Asian dynamos. In a world dominated by superpowers, Dr. Wong demonstrates how agile, nimble mid-sized economies can move fast, innovate and achieve post industrial catch-up development. This book will interest scholars of the Asian manufacturing sector, those with an interest in the role semiconductors play in the global economy, and scholars of Asian development.

Explains how manufacturing helped Asian Tiger economies Explores how small nations monopolized semiconductors Demonstrates the economic value of agility for small nations
