Networks as a national competitive advantage: the Singapore case study
Article Abstract:
A development approach that is based on the establishment of worldwide networks proved to be instrumental in the success of Singapore. The Singaporean government, through its leader Prime Minister Lee Kwan Yew, has stressed the importance of establishing networks in an integrated framework in order to enhance the country's role in international business. Part of Singapore's internationalization effort was the creation of state-of-the-art transport and communication facilities which enhance Its superb geographical location. The island country also became an international cosmopolitan meeting hub with the help of various social organizations such as the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club International.
