Finally there is a book which explores why these two countries could make such an impact on the electronics industry in such a relatively short time frame. The infrastructure development for electronics industry by these two countries can be educational to other developing nations. The university-government-industry partnerships model is well presented in this book; this type of information is often overlooked by in other literature.

This book summarized exactly what I needed to know about what countries in the Far East are doing to improve their electronic packaging industries. I strongly recommend the whole series to marketing personnel in the industry. My company has itself taken advantage of the opportunities in Singapore and has benefited greatly from it.

This book, although long-winded and expensive, seems to get the point across that Singapore and Malaysia both have a very strong presence in the electronics industry. It described for me how the governments draws in potential corporations and attempts to keep them there. I'm looking forward to reading about the other countries in the series.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this book at Amazon and only more satisfied after reading it. Beane and company explore some profound issues not read about in other texts. I can see how the success of the electronic packaging industry has proliferated similar to government sponsored industries in Canada. Recommend this to anyone that wants to know how gov't and industry can successfully synergize.

This book discusses none of the tenets that it set out to. There is no discussion on the local firm interest in technology, and it seems as though Mr. Beane and company stopped doing research in the mid 70s. An awful book that set out to do too much and completed nothing.

While this book has some data - although out-of-date- it offers very little analysis, and doesn't touch on the subject of transfer of technology, and to what extent local firms have got involved in the electronics sector.

This miserable excuse for literature not only provides basic racist dogma but also severely jeopardizes the people who it attempts to serve. I was not only disgusted by this awful and horrific piece of literature but felt truly offended and disgusted to be a human being. After reading this text I question whether Donald Beane's life has any purpose. I hope that the next time he attempts to write a piece of literature he learns the basic tennets of research and common sense.

I was truly dissappointed by this pathethic excuse for a political analysis. Donald Beane's text lacks any kind of focus or interest as he takes his reader on the analytical journey of these two important Southeast Asian economies. Overall I was truly angered and outraged at his assumptions and overall lack of vision in a region that spawned off the powerful Asian Crisis. Donald Beane needs to stop lumbering in pointless detail and needs to start understanding the concept of an argument.
