Abstract: Abstract Singapore is a success story of intelligently harnessing the ongoing technological revolution to accelerate development and transform a whole economy. Despite limited natural resources and unpromising initial economic conditions, Singapore compressed its development journey and moved from third world to first world economy, and positioned itself effectively for a global, knowledge-based, and innovation-driven economy. Its GDP per capita grew the fastest among the countries covered in this book, and among the world’s fastest growing economies, from US $6,500 in 1985, to US $37,600 in 2008.
