Industry Dynamics in Growth Triangles: The E&E Industry in SIJORI 25 Years On
Hutchinson, Francis E.; Grunsven, Leo van | November 2017
Abstract
The SIJORI Growth Triangle, which encompasses Singapore, Johor (Malaysia) and Batam Island (Indonesia), was launched in 1989 as a ‘single investment destination’ offering differing factor endowments in close proximity. Singapore was the ‘core’ of the region with Johor and Batam occupying the land, labour, and resource-intensive ‘non-core’ spaces. During the 1990s, investment flows into the three territories, particularly in the electrical and electronics (E&E) industry, mirrored this division of labour. Through scrutinizing trends in E&E firm entries, nationality, and industry branch in Singapore, Johor, and Batam for the 1993-2012/14 period, this article sheds light on the recent evolution of the E&E sector in the erstwhile Growth Triangle. In doing so, it seeks to establish whether the core/non-core division of labour still persists and whether Johor and Batam have been able to successfully capture product spaces being vacated by Singapore as it upgrades.

Chinese Industrial Development and Policy Adjustment in Anaphase of Industrialization
Jianwei, Xu (Korea Institute for International Economic Policy, 2017-11-07)For industrialization stages, we can use a vari-ety of existing development models and evalu-ation criteria for analysis, including the Hollis B. Chenery Development Model and Kuznets development model. The well-known econo-mist Hollis B. Chenery conducted research on the relationship between economic develop-ment level and industrial structure from more than 100 countries, and formulated a multi-country ...For industrialization stages, we can use a vari-ety of existing development models and evalu-ation criteria for analysis, including the Hollis B.
