Vietnam needs to address fundamental issues in the manufacturing sector that, until now, have been masked by economic growth. The book shows that there is a dichotomy between domestic enterprises and enterprises supported by foreign direct investment. The dominant state-owned enterprises and foreign-invested firms are often not integrated with smaller, domestic firms through backward or forward links in the use of domestically produced inputs or intermediate products. Growth in the domestic light manufacturing sector has arisen from the sheer number of micro and small enterprises rather than from expansion in the number of medium and large firms. As a consequence, final products have little value added; technology and expertise are not shared; and the economy has failed to move up the structural transformation ladder. This structure of production is one of the reasons Vietnam's rapid process of industrialization over the last three decades has not been accompanied by a favorable trade balance"--Provided by publisher.Directions in development (Washington, D.C.).Private sector development.Manufacturing industriesVietnamEconomic developmentVietnamJob creationVietnamVietnamEconomic policyVietnamEconomic conditions1975-Electronic books.Manufacturing industriesEconomic developmentJob creation338.4/76709597Dinh Hinh T.1953-863976Mishra Deepak1968-966986MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464880503321Light manufacturing in Vietnam2195153UNINA
