FOUR PRINCIPAL METHODOLOGIES

  • Spreadsheets
  • Input-Output Tables
  • Econometrics
  • System Dynamics

SLIDE 3

FEATURES OF THE RESEARCH

  • Long gestation
  • Need for detail (political acceptance)
  • Technology Transfer
  • Is still a work-in-progess……

Threshold 21 Model

  • System dynamics based national planning model
  • Used for developing & developed nations
  • Has been applied in some African countries + China

+ Italy

  • Is a large “off-the-shelf” model
  • Generic, although claimed be capable of being

"customised”

  • Can it properly address specific issues?
  • Can it be easily understood given its size?
  • Can it handle development of States within nations?

Possible Futures

No modelling methodology other than system dynamics could endogenously generate projections (red & blue) given the known behaviour from -15 yrs to now.

  • 15 Now +5 +10 +15

+20 +25 yr Typical “do nothing” scenario (result of an econometric projection?) Possible future from SD Model based on a definite intervention strategy: investment in capability. (Short term sacrifice for longer- term gain.) Possible future from SD model based on no investment in

  • capability. (Short-term gain but

longer term disaster.)

Model purpose

How and over what time-scale can the State of Sarawak best manage the transition from a production-based economy to a knowledge-based economy and thereby improve international competitiveness?

PIVOTAL ROLE OF ICT INFRASTRUCTURE

ICT Infrastructure in Sarawak Demand for Knowledge Supply of Knowledge

slide-16
SLIDE 16
  • Development of the ICT infrastructure

affects both supply and demand

  • Excess supply ==> migration overseas
  • Excess demand ==> companies/schemes close

Sectors of the model

  • Population
  • Education & Human capital
  • R&D/ ICT Infrastructure/k-industries
  • Manufacturing; Services & GDP
  • Timber Production
  • Palm Oil: trees
  • Palm Oil: products
  • LNG & petroleum production
  • State Revenue & spending
slide-19

The Education & Human Capital sector

This is comprehensive & contains:

  • School & University education
  • Technical/vocational education
  • Recruits to k-industries
  • Recruits to Govt R&D centres
  • Emigration & repatriation

It is difficult to see on one slide!

Rate of increase in science students at university is set to take total from 20% to 60%

  • ver 10 years

What if we accelerate this?

  • Availability of skilled human capital
  • Presence of an adequate ICT infrastructure

Growth in the number of k-firms is dependent upon:

slide-26
SLIDE 26

ICT resources are a necessary but not sufficient condition for growth of k-firms.

Typically three phases of growth in k-economy development

Technology Transfer

  • Current modelling contract is crucially

underpinned by technology transfer
