This chapter examines the dissemination of Kaizen in Southeast Asia. It compares the experiences of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Myanmar. Malaysia is considered to represent government-led dissemination with an organization’s significant role and the private sector’s awareness, while Indonesia is considered to represent private sector-led dissemination in automobile industry supply chain and others. Myanmar provides an example of a country at an initial stage in Kaizen dissemination. Based on these cases, this chapter sets up Kaizen dissemination models, focusing on two aspects: the relationship among stakeholders and the five-stage path of Kaizen dissemination comprising introduction, diffusion, customization, evolution, and standardization.

Industrialization is the key for sustainable economic growth in Africa. The role of industrial policy has been discussed intensively recently. This paper sheds light on the learning (or learning how to learn) aspect of industrialization policy, proposing a comprehensive approach. A great deal of past literature focuses only on the technological aspects of learning, but industrialization is a multi-faceted task, covering policy planning, policy implementation, and managerial knowledge. This paper took up a case from Ethiopia. The case study confirmed that learning on managerial knowledge improved performance of private firms. It also confirmed that policy learning expanded the policy scope of the government to help private sector development. These two aspects are inseparable, and this comprehensive approach should be used by donor countries for the industrialization of Africa.
Although “inclusive development” is a relatively new term, the concept has deep roots. In one of its first appearances as a concept, Kuznets discussed links between economic growth and income inequality (Kuznets in Am Econ Rev 45 (1):1–28, 1955). This chapter discusses strategies for jobs and inclusive growth in countries where extreme poverty is high, with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa. It begins by exploring why the need for inclusive growth is so great on the continent. It reviews the analytical drivers of the need for inclusive development. It also provides lessons from Asia and case studies of how development cooperation has contributed to inclusive growth.
