The central concept used in this study is production networks and industrial clusters. With examples from Indonesia and Malaysia (electronics industry), Singapore (biomedical science industry), and Thailand (automotive industry), the book explains how production networks and industrial clusters have played crucial roles in their industrial development. This book also discusses the progress of regional economic cooperation as well as the development of supply chain management and logistics in Southeast Asia, which facilitate the extension of production networks into a broader area Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes In English Print version record Subject Globalization -- Economic aspects -- Southeast Asia Industrial clusters -- Southeast Asia Business networks -- Southeast Asia BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Industries / General.
