EXPLORATION OF A SPECIAL ENTERPRISE ZONE: A CASE STUDY OF CHINA - SINGAPORE SUZHOU INDUSTRY PARK

Abstract Details

2001, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning : Community Planning.
Since the concept of the enterprise zone was envisioned by Peter Hall (1977), it has been widely used in many countries using different theories, policies and practices based on their different economic backgrounds and situations. In the research conducted for this thesis, the author briefly observed the enterprise zone practices in the USA, and then focused on the enterprise zone practices in China by analyzing a unique International Enterprise Zone, the Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park (CS-SIP) to see whether the main goals for the enterprise zone are reached. During the research, the author answered questions regarding why China selected Singapore as its model for this enterprise zone, what China wanted to learn from Singapore, whether this 7.5-year old collaboration is successful or not, what the management organizations of CS-SIP is, what kind of management is used in CS-SIP, and what criteria China used to choose the enterprise zone's location. By working on these questions, the author explored the set of factors governing that choice in China, the policies they set to develop this park, and the measurable achievements of it via some appropriate economic and financial data used as indicators of success or failure. The author concluded at the end of the research that this unique International Enterprise Zone should be considered a success and provides some future research directions regarding China's enterprise zone theoretical base, as well as the policies and practices based on it.
