ABSTRACT
Hong Kong’s economic emergence, development and current situation have been examined and analysed from a variety of perspectives, and its adaptative systems, entrepreneurship and human resources have been outlined in detail. A number of points and themes have emerged and these have implications for Hong Kong’s prospects and possibilities. First, Hong Kong’s internationally impressive economic record is under threat. Second, some of the factors and structures seen as growth inducing in the past are now viewed as inhibiting. Third, there is a need to develop alternative means of competing, which include production and human resource upgrading.
