| Abstract | Industrial polices form a major part of a country's
national economic and development plan. Countries like Korea,
where manufacturing is a prime engine of economic growth , need
sound industrial policies to promote the balanced growth of industries.
This thesis develops a generalized goal programming
model for selecting which industries need , and to what extent
they are , to be promoted in line with the national economic
goals. A dynamic version of the model is also developed in order
to simulate the optimal growth avenues of the selected industries. The national economic objectives pursued in the model
include the following: Foreign Exchange Earnings, Employment
Opportunities , Domestic Content, Energy Consumption, Import
Substitution , and Productivity. The model is applied to six
industrial sectors, namely, Fabricated Metal Products, General
Industrial Machinery and Equipment, Electrical Equipment and
Apparatus, Electronic and Communication Equipment , Transportation
Equipment, and Measuring, Medical and Optical Instruments. When
applied to those sectors, the model shapes u p into one with 6
priority structures, 89 variables, and 147 goals and structural
constraints. The model is solved using the Sequential Linear Goal
Programming Approach via an MPSX Package.
The model developed is a general one and can therefore
be applied to any industrial sector or subsectors. It is intended
to serve as a software laboratory for selecting types of industrial activities which need to be given promotion. With
appropriate modifications, it can also be made applicable to
other countries with capitalist economies . |
