Secrets to Success - Automotive Industrialization in Southeast Asia
Secrets to Success - Automotive Industrialization in Southeast Asia
The success story of the Southeast Asian automotive industry in the 21st century is unquestionable. Many factors have contributed to the development from import substitution to a more liberalized WTO policy regime. Our next guest lecturer Kaoru Natsuda, the Professor of the Graduate School of Asia Pacific Studies, at the Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University will provide insight into the industrial policies of Southeast Asian economies in their motor vehicle industries. He will focus on the role of Japan as far as inward automotive investment is concerned in the region, and he will reveal the findings of his book entitled Automotive Industrialization: Industrial Policy and Development in Southeast Asia. Join our event if you would like to get an insight into the details of challenges and the successful achievements of the sector.
