The bleak employment opportunities faced by so many countries in
Africa, Latin America, Asia and indeed Eastern Europe, suggest the
need for a more employment-intensive path of development in the
future. Achieving this will entail, in one way or another, a large
contribution by small-scale production units. It is obvious for
instance, that huge numbers of people may have no other option but
to engage in small-scale production as entrepreneurs, self-employed
persons, "disguised wage-workers", and so on. At the least, this
can give them a survival opportunity. Ideally, the promotion of
small-scale production should open the door to the restructuring of
industry and ultimately to industrial growth through improvement in
technology and productivity. In policy design and research, a
"revival versus survival" dilemma has thus become a fundamental
issue. Special emphasis is paid to aspects of small-scale
industrial development that have received insufficient attention up
to now - spatial analysis, labour and work, the role of technology,
and the involvement of non-government development organizations as
an important category of support organizations for small and
micro-enterprises. The case studies represent six important
dimensions of the developmental contexts that are found around the
world: India (comprehensive policy design and implementation),
Indonesia (rapid economic development and structural
transformation), Ghana (structural adjustment policies), Colombia
(short-run economic cycles), Yugoslavia (transformation of
industrial organization), and Hungary (ill-conceived bureaucratic
interventions).
