Summary

1. Based on a survey of 300 industrial enterprises (1979-1981), examines the transition of Malaysian manufacturing industries from labour- intensive, low technological processes to capital-intensive, high technological activities. Provides a theoretical framework for analysing the pivotal role that technology plays in raising labour productivity and in improving the competitiveness and performance of five major industries. Compares Malaysian technological level and labour productivity to that of other Far Eastern countries.
