Industry association networks, innovations, and firm performanc / Qiao, Peng-hua; Ju, Xiao-feng; Fung, Hung-Gay   Journal Article
Fung, Hung-Gay Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This study uses panel data analysis to examine the effects of membership in industry association networks on innovation and firm performance in Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange Small and Medium-size Enterprises Board from 2007 to 2011. There are several interesting findings. First, research and development (R&D) and technology staff have a positive and significant effect on innovation at SMEs. Second, participation in industry association networks (defined as comprising business association networks and technology association networks) can improve firm innovation at Chinese SMEs. Third, innovation is found to have a positive effect on firm performance at SMEs. Finally, membership in industry association networks can improve firm efficiency and increase non-operating income but at the expense of higher management costs at SMEs. Our study has important policy implications for policymakers and SMEs in China.

Rethinking the Taiwanese developmental state / Wu, Yongping   Journal Article
Wu, Yongping Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication Mar 2004.
Summary/Abstract The uniqueness of Taiwan's industrialization is that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) had been the major contributors to exports. What has been responsible for the success of the SMEs? How far and in what ways did the state contribute to their success: can it be attributed to the government's industrial policy? The statist account of Taiwan's development, a dominant approach to explain its economic growth, is weak in answering these questions. This article argues that the existence of a unique industrial structure was key in the explanation of Taiwan's SME-led exports. The industrial structure was basically a consequence of the state's political strategies that determined its public policy towards the private sector. It argues that the market rather than industrial policy was the explanation of the industrial success of SMEs; the economic bureaucracy was a world of politics rather than a range of monolithic institutions; and strongman tactics rather than institutions were the source of state steering capacity and were responsible for the success of industrial policy. It concludes that Taiwan's development was a "politically inspired industrial success" rather than a state-led development.

Surprise in a bottle: the side effect of the booming demand for bottle water / Shah, Faiza   Journal Article
Shah, Faiza Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract From major multinational corporations to medium - and small scale enterprises, the water bottling industry has been thriving consistently. This is surprising, considering that bottle water is a costly option and the privilege of choice, at a high price tag of, say, 150 Rupees for a 19 litter bottle.
