“…The ability of the manufacturing sector to support labor productivity improvement is reduced by the import of unskilled migrant workers and failure to drive technology upgrades (Rasiah et al, ). The quality of labor in the food manufacturing industry could also be a cause of a slowdown in productivity in that particular area (Ahmed, ).…”

“…This decision was reinforced by increases in Malaysia's minimum wage. Before the introduction of a national minimum wage in 2013, migrant workers' basic salary after 3 months of employment was approximately MYR26 ($6.53) per day (Rasiah, Crinis, & Lee, ). In 2013, a minimum wage was set at MYR34.614 ($8.69) per day for Peninsular Malaysia, where most of the country's economy is based.…”

A heavy dependence on an unskilled migrant labor pool with a high turnover rate was impeding productivity for a food manufacturer in Malaysia. At the same time, the Malaysian government was encouraging industries to reduce their reliance on foreign unskilled workers and improve the training of local talent to drive growth. These circumstances led the food company's managers to reevaluate its workforce model. An internal task force, which was established to analyze the company's labor mix and make workforce planning recommendations, considered desired level of stability, internal requirements, evolving government policies and legislation, and the organization's strategic direction. The new system that was proposed decreased the company's reliance on temporary, unskilled foreign labor, improved local recruitment and training, and reduced turnover among skilled personnel.

“…First, Malaysia's magician sector, measured either by share of GDP or export structure, has declined markedly (Figures 10.24 and 10.25). The textiles industry has contracted, with average growth rates of À6.4 per cent between 2000 and 2010, while electronics fared little better, averaging an anaemic 0.9 per cent Deals and Development (Rasiah et al, 2015). While this process accelerated after the AFC, when foreign investors questioned the dynamism of South East Asian economies, it actually started in the late 1980s, when Malaysia entered a 'suffocating structural squeeze' (Ritchie, 2005: 746).…”

Ethiopia's economy has grown by over 6 per cent per person per year for the last twelve years, and its population has experienced progress in extreme poverty reduction, better health, and improving education. South Sudan's elite has squandered its oil wealth in only a few years in patronage-based opulence since its independence in 2011, and has descended into conflict with the most extreme form of food insecurity-famine-being declared in two parts of the country. Even though neither South Sudan's nor Ethiopia's experience is discussed here, this book is an important contribution to the quest to make sense of how tomorrow's South Sudan could experience the period of fast growth and development we are currently seeing in Ethiopia, and why it presently does not. And it helps to understand why Ethiopian growth could accelerate or may not last if mishandled.Within much of the community of development policy advisors, there is at last an increased understanding of the importance of institutions and politics for successful development. Many will now routinely refer to Why Nations Fail by Acemoglu and Robinson (Crown Business, 2012) or similarly the clear expositions of historical experience in institutional development. Former Prime Minister David Cameron even once named Why Nations Fail as his favourite book, and not just because the historical United Kingdom is used as the leading example of successful institution building.However, those who have to turn to such books for policy advice about what to do now in terms of building institutions in some of the poorest and most conflict-affected states have found less than they had hoped for. The advice may be summarized as 'get yourself a good history rather than the bad one you seem to have suffered'; this may be truthful but not quite the helpful advice to nations that are trying not to fail.This book, based on wholly independent but nevertheless DFID-funded research, is different. It still has as its focus the importance ...
