→SMALL INDUSTRIES VITAL TO ECONOMY+ ****
THE VITAL ROLE OF SMALL SCALE INDUSTRIES IN THE ECONOMY OF HONG KONG WAS STRESSED TODAY BY THE SECRETARY FOR DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION, MR DAVID AKERS-JONES.
*THEY SUPPORT OTHER INDUSTRIES, THEY SUPPLY GOODS DIRECT TO OUR EXPORT MARKETS AND THEY PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT TO MANY HUNDRED THOUSAND WORKERS, HE SAID.
HE WAS SPEAKING AT THE END OF A SEMINAR ON INCREASING PROFITS THROUGH BETTER MANAGEMENT, PRODUCTION AND MARKETING+ HELD IN TSUEN WAN.
THE SEMINAR WAS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND ORGANISED JOINTLY BY THE HONG KONG TRADE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL, THE HONG KONG PRODUCTIVITY CENTRE AND THE TSUEN WAN DISTRICT BOARD.
MR AKERS-JONES SAID IT WAS OF PARTICULAR SIGNIFICANCE THAT THE SEMINAR WAS HELD IN TSUEN WAN BECAUSE IT IS THE OLDEST INDUSTRIAL NEW TOWN IN THE NEW TERRITORIES AND IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT INDUSTRIAL CENTRES IN HONG KONG.
+1 AM ENCOURAGED THAT TSUEN WAN DISTRICT BOARD HAS TAKEN AN ACTIVE INTEREST IN THIS IMPORTANT AREA WHICH DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY AFFECT THE WELL-BEING OF ALL RESIDENTS IN THE DISTRICT, HE SAID.
+THE THREE SPEAKERS AT THIS SEMINAR HAVE EXAMINED WAYS TO HELP SMALL INDUSTRIES IMPROVE THE IR PROFITABILITY THROUGH BETTER FACTORY MANAGEMENT, PRODUCTION METHODS AND MARKETING TECHNIQUE.
+THE METHODS THEY SUGGESTED MAY NOT BE THE ANSWER TO ALL THE PROBLEMS FACED BY SUCH FACTORIES IN HONG KONG, BUT THEY PROVIDE A POINTER FOR ALL WHO ARE HERE TODAY, AND PROMPT YOU TO TAKE ANOTHER CRITICAL LOOK AT YOUR OWN FACTORY ESTABLISHMENT TO SEE WHAT IMPROVEMENTS CAN BE MADE, HE TOLD PARTICIPANTS AT THE SEMINAR.
