Singapore enjoys the advantages of a conscientious and highly skilled workforce in the service and manufacturing software industries. Government institutions such as the National Computer Board (NCB) and the Ministry of Defense (MINDEF) have highly qualified in-hourse software support and development personnel.

With the evolving needs of today’s manufacturing industries in the area of product development, 3D CAD model has become very important. Often in many situations there is a need to remanufacture a physical part where the CAD data is not available with the manufacturer or is lost because of several reasons. In such cases reverse engineering is found to be an effective and efficient tool. Reverse ...

We analyze a general market for an industry of competing service facilities. Firms differentiate themselves by their price levels and the waiting time their customers experience, as well as different attributes not determined directly through competition. Our model therefore assumes that the expected demand experienced by a given firm may depend on all of the industry’s price levels as well as ...

Industries where prices decline rapidly experience early ‘shakeouts’. Existing models of the shakeout do not explain this negative relation between price decline and time to shakeout. We set up a vintage-capital model that explains this relation, and we provide some evidence in support of the mechanism that we propose. The relation emerges naturally in a vintage-capital model in which shakeouts...

Many writers have claimed that research and development (R&D) has two ‘faces’. In addition to the conventional role of stimulating innovation, R&D enhances technology transfer by improving the ability of firms to learn about advances in the leading edge (‘absorptive capacity’). In this paper we explore this idea empirically using a panel of industries across twelve OECD countries. We find evide...
