| Περίληψη: | The study of entrepreneurship is a relatively new and unexplored area of research. There
are many aspects pertaining to it. The focus of this report is on regionalisation and its
impacts on entrepreneurship in Singapore.
The Asia-Pacific region has been hailed as the playground for the future. Even
those dormant Asian economies are beginning to awake. The study briefly highlights the
opportunities and threats present in light of Asia's rapid growth and examines the impact
of this growth spurt on Singapore's economy, given the country's strengths and
weaknesses.
Insights on the reasons for the overseas expans10n of local enterprises were
gathered through the interviews conducted with food companies in Singapore. The
population was confined to the food industry so as to minimise the fundamental structural
differences that exist between industries. The survey findings might have been distorted if
a cross-section of industries was used. In addition, the problems faced by these
enterprises in their pursuit of overseas expansion are examined. The assistance available in
Singapore to meet the needs of these enterprises are discussed and evaluated for their
adequacy.
Finally, recommendations are made to enhance the development of overseas
enterprises. These propositions are based on the survey results as well as information obtained from our literature search. The issues covered include tax and fiscal benefits,
human resource development for Singapore and the development of Singapore brands.
