The Precariat. The New Dangerous Class

This book opens a fresh chapter in the debate on local enterprise clusters and their strategies for upgrading in the global economy. The authors employ a novel conceptual framework in their research on industrial clusters in Europe, Latin America and Asia and provide new perspectives and insights for researchers and policymakers alike.

The contingency effects of environmental uncertainty on the relationship between supply chain integration and operational performance

The rise of 'the rest' : Challenges to the west from late-industrializing economies.

This paper explains the evolution and assesses the development of the Malaysian automotive industry within the premise of infant industry and trade protection framework as well as extended arguments of infant industry using a global value chain perspective. The Malaysian automotive industry expanded in terms of sales, production, employment and local content, but failed in industrial upgrading and international competitiveness. The failures can be attributed to (a) lack of political promotion for high challenge-high support environment, (b) low technological and marketing capabilities and (c) limited participation in the global value chain. Although the Malaysian infant industry protection policy comprised many promising initiatives, the national and the overall domestic automobile industry ended up as a captive of the regionalised Japanese keiretsu system in automobile manufacturing. A new transformation is required to push the industry beyond its current performance through a more strategic productive coalition with multiple stakeholders including trade unions.

Automotive industry in Malaysia: an assessment of its development

With the exception of countries with huge potential markets like China and India the dominant academic view on establishing and sustaining viable national automobile projects in Asian developing countries is pessimistic, but still pursued by some developing country governments in Asia. Where do these contradicting views leave the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) automobile industry a decade after the East Asian financial crisis of 1997–1998, and at a time of a new global financial crisis emanating in the US and a downturn of the global economy? And how has automobile manufacturing in Thailand and Malaysia – two countries with sizable automobile markets that pursued different automobile policies and strategies since the early 1980s – adjusted and developed in a context of economic globalisation and emerging regionalisation of the ASEAN auto market in the twenty-first century? What are the lessons to be learned by Thailand's automobile policy that is oriented towards foreign direct investment ...

The automobile industry of Southeast Asia: Malaysia and Thailand

This contribution aims to investigate whether, how and why national automobile policies in Korea and Malaysia have generated industrial upgrading and increased competitiveness of the domestic automobile components industry to the point of world class suppliers. The study applies a global value chain perspective on the development of national automobile firms and industries in developing countries. The contribution argues that the rise of powerful multinational companies (MNCs) who were automobile suppliers of systems or modules based on advanced proprietary technology and branding has made it more important than ever that upper tier suppliers evolve and/or locate in global value chains to remain competitive. No such automobile suppliers have yet emerged out of the local Korean and Malaysian automobile component industry, but world class foreign automobile suppliers have established operations especially in Korea. Hence, both the Korean and Malaysian vehicle makers will depend upon and have to ally with le...

The Development of Automotive Parts Suppliers in Korea and Malaysia: A Global Value Chain Perspective

The automotive industries of Southeast Asia have grown significantly but unevenly Thailand has outperformed its neighbours in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines with regard to production and, most notably, export volumes But the Thai auto industry has not exhibited the level of local (indigenous) technology capacity and input growth seen in South Korea, Taiwan and, increasingly, in China The 1997–98 and 2008 financial and economic crises generally reinforced pre-existing national automotive strategies, but to different degrees: They strongly accelerated an earlier Thai move to exports whose very success weakened pressures for upgrading; encouraged more moderate automotive liberalisation in Indonesia and, to a lesser extent, in the Philippines; but promoted only minimal changes to Malaysia’s relatively protectionist national car strategy The fact that the crises served more to reinforce than to reverse existing tendencies reflects a broader set of political economy factors that influence n
