Much can still be learned but for Post-industrial Philippines. Professor Chu Wan-wen was one of the speakers at the 7th Asialics Roundtable session in Taipei. Her talk on Taiwan and “second-mover advantage” made me look up and buy her book, Beyond Late Development, (with Alice Amsden). Today, I just finished reading the book. I am [...]

This hardy Filipino-fabricated machine is cause for cheer I could hardly contain my excitement at seeing a Filipino-fabricated rotary filler being set up yesterday – a working product from the minuscule Philippine machinery industry is on the ground before me! YAY! as my young friends shout. And LOL with that. Fighting against economic policies like [...]

For this 100th post, I am pleased to report another innovation area that I discovered the Philippines to be a global leader: mobile phone banking in microfinance. The four other areas of leadership I have reported elsewhere in SYNTHESiST are: renewable geothermal energy, PNG carrageenan from seaweeds, and SALT (Sloping Agricultural Land Technology). Innovation is [...]

… I was not disappointed despite the often ponderous, academic approach. The ASIALICS Hongkong conference focused on two areas: first, University-Industry linkage with two keynotes on the China and India experience and, second, on the changing role of RTO’s especially comparing the European and East Asian (Japan, Korea, Taiwan) experiences.
