Abstract

The tendency towards an increasing share of GDP arising from manufactured goods appears to be a typical feature of the development process (Chenery et al., 1986; Chenery and Syrquin, 1975). Comparative advantage (CA) changes over time in line with the transformation of production and leads to an increasing specialization in manufactured exports, gradually replacing primary resource-based exports.1 However, reaching international competitiveness in manufacturing production requires the acquisition of a number of production and selling capabilities. This is a demanding task which needs time and effort, and does not arise automatically from production experience (Chapter 2).
