Attainment of the goals of Vision 2020 is dependent on sustained economic growth largely based on export of manufactured goods. Malaysia’s competitiveness on the world market is therefore a crucial factor.
Industrial competitiveness is a function of technology and innovation. Strategic considerations to maintain industrial competitiveness would require bold measures to enhance the existing processes and mechanism in planning and management, the R & D delivery system and human resource development.
Four strategies are put forward in connection with the above. These are past exploitative, future innovative, buy-some / make-some, be world leader / not mere follower and work hard and work smart.
The main point is to stage a concerted public and private sector effort in making Malaysia a truly industrial economy with wide application of research and technology in all the productive sectors, in attaining supremacy in national technology target areas, in having a large pool of highly productive, multi-skilled workforce and in fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
Several actions are suggested, all being hinged on our having a high capacity in prospecting for choosing a future and working towards that future. Prospecting is a prerequisite to planning and to decision making in all sectors which would then drive the necessary institutional and attitudinal reorganizations, the final steps in building a comprehensive commitment to ensuring the relevance and effectiveness of strategies in contributing to Vision 2020.
