台灣印度間之經濟合作研究

Abstract

India and China are part of an abbreviation called BRIC. The term BRIC was first used in 2003 in a thesis published by the Goldman Sachs investment bank that named Brazil, Russia, India and China as large emerging economies likely to assume key global roles. While China and India are considered emerging economic powerhouses in world as they have witnessed a growth of over 8% in past 5 years, Taiwan had its successful run to become a developed nation through dramatic growth in late 80s to early 90s by first transforming its manufacturing and then moving to service base economy. Famous Business week article of 2005 “Does Taiwan Matters” underlines the position and contribution of Taiwan to the world especially in high tech industries.

In recent years, Taiwanese companies have done massive investments in China. Some people even question if this too much dependence of Taiwanese business on China is putting Taiwan at some risk. For an Indian, who is studying MBA program in Taiwan, the economic relationship between India and Taiwan has always been point of great curiosity as to what strategies each of these country has adopted in order to boost its economy and how should these two countries position and get benefit form each other in today’s world where economic co-operation is even more paramount than any other sort.
The objective of this study is to determine
 Evolution, positions and drivers of India & Taiwan economies focusing on high tech industries
 Economic co-operation activities between Taiwan and India in recent years
Purpose of study is also to make further recommendation on the areas where Taiwan & India should increase strategic co-operations and get benefit from this mutual partnership.
