菲律宾政府认识到中小企业在企业数量和工人数量方面对经济的巨大贡献，制定了一系列专门旨在提高中小企业生产率和竞争力的政策和计划。然而，近十年来中小企业的表现并不足以提振菲律宾制造业。因此，高技术产业在后向联系方面的深化仍然薄弱。尽管该国高技术产品出口增长迅速，但由于国内外大型企业与国内经济的联系有限，这些出口产品的附加值很低。国际贸易的快速变化和全球生产体系日益复杂，给菲律宾中小企业带来了重大挑战。本文回顾了新兴的全球生产网络背景下政府现有的中小企业政策以及制造业的最新发展。本文借鉴了对汽车、电子和服装行业中小企业的调查采访结果。该文件强调了建立一个单独的政府办公室来协调中小企业政策和计划以支持中小企业融入全球生产链的重要性。
In recognition of their substantial contribution to the economy both in terms of number of enterprises and workers, the Philippine government has put in place a number of policies and programs designed specifically to boost SME productivity and competitiveness in the country. However, the performance of SMEs in the last decade has not been vigorous enough to boost the Philippine manufacturing industry. As such, the deepening of high technology industries in terms of the creation of backward linkages has remained weak. While the country’s exports of high technology products have grown rapidly, the value added of these exports is very low due to the limited links of large domestic and foreign companies to the domestic economy. Rapid changes in the international trade and the growing complexity of global production system, pose a significant challenge to Filipino SMEs. This paper reviews existing government SME policies as well as recent developments in the manufacturing sector, within the context of the emerging global production network. The paper draws on the findings of a survey interview of SMEs in the automotive, electronics, and garments sectors. The paper highlights the importance of creating a separate government office that would coordinate SME policies and programs to support the integration of SMEs in the global production chain.
