    Abstract

    This article seeks to broaden our understanding of the phenomenon of global production sharing and to explore policy options for developing countries for engaging effectively in production networks, through a case study on the export production hub in the State of Penang, Malaysia. The findings uphold Penang as a unique example of marrying development strategy with emerging opportunities for global production sharing. The state government of Penang has not only attracted major multinational enterprises in the globa l electronics industry but also helped them become deeply rooted in the economy through a well-designed investment promotion and development strategy.
