Article Abstract:

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad believes his country must adopt a new collaborative approach to doing business through networking if it is to continue to thrive in the Information Age. Under this new approach, networks of firms collaborate across borders, mutually enriching one another and their respective countries. Toward this end, Malaysia has launched the Multimedia Super Corridor for electronic commerce, which boasts of cyberlaws for the protection of intellectual property, an extensive fiber optic backbone, tax incentives and a fast-track permit process.
