Emerging Malaysia

Being stuck in the middle between the finest nations and the hardly surviving ones is not easy. Hence, the next step forward is to move ahead and fly even higher rather than to be trapped forever or slipping backward into the past. Yet the greatest challenge of an emerging economy in this twenty-first century is to create, and then maintain, that critical leap to a world-class economy. This book discusses such a stage of consistent struggle through a focus toward sustainable development. Numerous books delved into emerging economies, yet none concentrates on Malaysia. This particular nation provides a unique trajectory for growth that calls for comparison and contrast with other nations that experience growth. Each chapter of the book offers grounds to the development of a framework for progress and sustainability. This book drops the complacency of past wins of the nation and openly addresses the critical issues surrounding the emphasis for growth from different industry contexts. As the book is fundamentally based on theory and research, it practically lends a resourceful ground for academia as well as postgraduate students who are searching for current and relevant literature on development studies, emerging economies, and management of organizations.
