N2  - The book presents a comparative survey of the distribution of enterprises by size across Asia, including Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Bangladesh, and Vietnam. It identifies three distinct patterns of manufacturing sector development and makes the connection between enterprise development and the overall impact on the economy. The book goes on to investigate the problem of the peculiar dual size structure of manufacturing in India, with its two modes at the low and high end of the size distribution and conspicuous “missing middle”, and the effect that this has on the economy. It is an important contribution to studies on Asian Economics and Manufacturing Industries
