This book attempts to provide an effective strategy for industrial development based on the KAIZEN management training experiments conducted in Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia, Vietnam, and Tanzania. We focus on micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in industrial clusters, because clusters consisting of MSEs are ubiquitous and have high potential to grow.

Tetsushi Sonobe and Keijiro Otsuka are Professors of Economics at National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), Tokyo. They received their PhD from Yale University and the University of Chicago, respectively. They are co-authors of Cluster-Based Industrial Development: An East Asian Model (Palgrave Macmillan, 2006) and Cluster-Based Industrial Development: A Comparative Study of Asia an Africa (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010).
