Entrepreneurial Developoment Programmes: The Malaysian Experience
分析了马来西亚政府花费超过1亿美元推动本土创业者的计划，指出这些计划效果不佳，并讨论了原因和改进建议。
Dr. Chee Peng Lim is an associate professor in the Faculty of Economics and Administration at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Like many other developing countries Malaysia is trying to encourage a larger number of indigenous entrepreneurs to participate more actively in its economy. In line with this objective the government has spent more than US $100 million over the last ten years to create indigenous entrepreneurs on a massive scale. The major implementation agencies in the entrepreneurial development programmes in Malaysia are MARA, NPC, and MEDEC. These agencies have designed three levels of training programmes for indigenous entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, the programmes have not been very successful in creating new entrepreneurs. The various possible reasons for this are discussed in this paper and suggestions made for improving existing programmes.
