Reviews

The book is carefully presented with clear details. While the book is quite academic, interspersed with econometric terms in some chapters, it is written with great clarity and sound economic explanation. The most valuable contribution of this book lies in the two large extensive surveys conducted, producing rich survey results and analyses... The book is highly recommended for researchers and postgraduate students, studying SME's and production networks in East Asia. Policymakers should also find this book to be very useful resource in understanding the role of SMEs in the economy, and also to better understand the constraints facing them, thereby gaining insights for policy design.
