Chen, Liang-Chih and Shiuh-Shen Chien (2017) Industrial upgrading and interaction between the advanced small south and China: the case of Taiwan’s machine tool industry. Area Development and Policy, 2(1): 91-107.
ABSTRACT
Existing studies of late industrialization emphasize the significance of learning mechanisms associated with North–South linkages for the technological and manufacturing capabilities of the South. With reference to investments by Taiwan’s machine tool industry in China, this paper shows how and why a small and relatively advanced latecomer in the South (Taiwan) developed multiple capabilities by exploring and exploiting the technological and market resources of a relatively laggard, late industrializing counterpart with a large domestic market (China). In this way, it demonstrates the significance of South–South interactions and a wider range of capabilities.
摘要
产业升级、南方先进小地区与中国大陆的合作：以台湾机床制造业为例, Area Development and Policy. 现有的关于后发工业化的研究，普遍强调与南北联系相关的学习机制的重要性，把南北联系作为南方国家和地区提高技术和制造能力的主要推动力。本文通过分析台湾机床制造业在中国大陆的投资，阐释了一个相对先进的南方后起小地区（台湾），如何通过探索和利用一个相对落后、但具有广阔国内市场的后发工业化地区（中国大陆）的技术和市场资源，从而发展和提高了多种能力及其成功的原因。本文以这种方式说明了南南合作以及发展多种能力的重要性。
