Abstract

We firmly believe that the compilation of careful empirical studies is imperative to answer the questions of how industries develop and how industries can be promoted in developing countries. Motivated by this belief, we visited a number of enterprises and conducted personal interviews with entrepreneurs in many industrial clusters in Taiwan, China and Japan. While doing so, we became aware that the different industries in the different countries have followed surprisingly similar development processes. Similarities are striking especially in the manner in which the quality improvement phase arises out of the quantity expansion phase. There are, of course, dissimilarities among industries, such as merchant-led and engineer-led development patterns, but even the dissimilarities display regularity (see Table 2.2).
