“…It is not evident that the modern sector drains the growth potential of the indigenous agricultural sector of the economy, as suggested by dual economy theory. Lagging sectors and regions, like agriculture in Sleman, respond to rising unemployment through intensification, by absorbing increased numbers of workers, as also documented by McGee and Firman (2000). This process should be labelled not as involution, but rather allocative efficiency.…”

The paper focuses on information flows and the need for change in cottage industries in rural Indonesia. The context for small‐scale business entrepreneurs has changed dramatically during the last decade of economic liberalisation and crisis. Emerging market opportunities, as well as national and international competition, now challenge indigenous businesses in their different geographical settings, and new information is indispensable for survival and growth. The principal question in the paper is whether small‐scale agribusiness entrepreneurs are able to identify and utilise existing knowledge for the purpose of improving their competitive strength. By using case studies taking an actor’s perspective, the empirical data give insight into the small entrepreneurs’ perceptions of their business environments and the hindrances to innovation. Theories on dual economies, path dependence and information asymmetry form the basis for analysing two cases of Javanese agribusiness. The paper concludes that a gap prevails between “traditional” and “modern” sectors of this society, and that cottage industries have much to gain from linking up with external agencies. Regional universities may play a crucial role in enhancing information flows and disseminating competence.

“…Also, the example of Asian cities demonstrates that the urban economic development policy gives weight to services, particularly in larger urban areas (Morshidi 2000). In Indonesia, for example, before the economic crisis in mid-1997, there was a large-scale transfer of employees from the agricultural sector to the trade and services sector (McGee and Firman 2000).…”

Das Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, die Hypothese zu testen, dass ein höherer Diversifizierungsgrad der Erwerbstätigenstruktur der Bevölkerung eines bestimmten Territoriums ein höheres Niveau seines wirtschaftlichen Entwicklungsstands anzeigt. In diesem Kontext wird der Zusammenhang zwischen der absoluten Dominanz der Beschäftigung im tertiär-quartären Sektors in den städtischen Zentren Serbiens mit deren Entwicklungsstand analysiert. Untersucht wird -unter Verwendung der für diesen Untersuchungszweck definierten Methoden -, ob eine derartige Korrelation besteht und welche Ausprägungen sie aufweist. Als Ergebnis der Analyse werden Schlussfolgerungen gezogen, die auf die Entstehung und das Vorhandensein einer Vielzahl von Zentren hinweisen, in denen die quantitative Dominanz des tertiär-quartären Sektors, gefolgt von einer ausgeprägten Dominanz der Beschäftigung im öffentlichen Dienst, nicht begleitet wird von angemessenen qualitativen und quantitativen Veränderungen, die zu einem höheren wirtschaftlichen Entwicklungsstand führen würden. Die Erfassung gefährdeter Entwicklungszentren soll den Entscheidungsträgern eine rechtzeitige und angemessene Reaktion ermöglichen, sowie den relevanten Institutionen und Organisationen Grundlagen bieten, Maßnahmen zur Förderung einer ausgewogenen Entwicklung angemessen umzusetzen.
