Abstract

Taiwan has been one of the economic success stories of East Asia. It has moved from a position of backwardness to being at the forefront of technological development in a number of key sectors such as computing. It has progessed from being a sub‐contractor to being a major regional operations centre. Once Taiwan was associated with goods that were cheap but had low quality. Now it has established a number of brand names that are regarded globally as being of the highest quality.
