Issues relating to the size of firms in manufacturing are
central to the discussion of development strategies. This book
offers an interpretation of growth trajectories in selected Asian
economies in terms of the size-structure of enterprises in the
manufacturing sector of these economies.
The book presents a comparative survey of distribution of
enterprises by size across Asia, including India, Japan, Taiwan,
Korea, Thailand, Bangladesh and Vietnam. A broad survey of official
data on the size structure of manufacturing helps to identify three
distinct patterns of manufacturing sector development and makes the
connection between enterprise development and the overall impact on
the economy. The book goes on to investigate the problem of the
peculiar dual size structure of manufacturing in India, with its
two modes at the low and high end of the size distribution and
conspicuous missing middle, and the effect that this has on the
economy. This pattern is contrasted with the East Asian, model with
a more even size distribution, and the more recent experience of
the newly developing countries of Asia with size distribution
skewed to the right. It is an important contribution to studies on
Asian Economics and Manufacturing Industries.
