This study analyses export performance in Sri Lanka at a national and firm level, focusing on the acquisition of industrial technological capabilities during a period of trade liberalization. It compares Sri Lanka's record with Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. Analysis of the export and technological record of enterprises of varying performance highlights the policies which enhance competitiveness in developing and transition economies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52138977657105,"sku":"NLS9780333649565","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52734932386065,"sku":"NIN9780333649565","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780333649565.jpg?v=1785806722"},{"product_id":"production-networks-and-enterprises-in-east-asia-book-ganeshan-wignaraja-9784431566595","title":"Production Networks and Enterprises in East Asia","description":"The book provides a comprehensive examination of patterns and determinants of production networks in East Asia, a key driver in the region’s global success.

As a group, competitiveness in the developing countries has improved, but, while East Asian economies have had rapid export growth and technological upgrades, South Asian and African economies have lagged behind. Old structures, institutions, behavioural patterns and public policies are ill-adapted to deal with the challenges posed by technological change and economic liberalization. Consequently there is an urgent need for change in government and private sector attitudes and strategies.This volume seeks to generalise the lessons across developing country and enterprise cases, and sheds light on which trade and industrial strategies and instruments work best, and which do not work, in relation to manufacturing competitiveness.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53479430979857,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53479431078161,"sku":"NLS9780415228367","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415228367.jpg?v=1788371343"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-ganeshan-wignaraja.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
