The term 'Made By Hong Kong' describes the production network that Hong Kong industry has extended into China and elsewhere in the region. The 'Made in Hong Kong' manufacturing experience has been used in one of the world's most extensive experiments in the globalization of production. What can other entrepreneurs preparing to expand into China learn from the Hong Kong story? An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology investigated these questions in a year-long study of Hong Kong industry from the micro to macro level, involving nearly 400 organizations in Hong Kong, China, and elsewhere in Asia. Made By Hong Kong challenges the common view that industry in Hong Kong has no future, and asserts instead that it has a great opportunity to combine its manufacturing capabilities with innovative services. Hong Kong industry is well positioned to contribute to the new generations of service-enhanced products that will be the mainstay of twenty-first-century manufacturing. The authors offer strategies for upgrading 'Made By Hong Kong' production, and assess the prospects of various industries, old and new.
