The study will not only review the receptiveness to Hong Kong's products by traditional markets such as North America, Europe and Japan but will also examine the opportunities in the potential of the other emerging markets such as Asia, People's Republic of China and South America. It will also analyse the competition with neighbouring countries.
In order to assist the MLEl to move up market and compete internationally, the study intends to adopt a "follow the world leader" strategy and will review the latest product and technology development from industry leaders such as USA, Europe, Japan.
The research study, to be completed in eight months' time, is the third of its kind initiated by the Industry Department.
Supported by a funding of $4.4 million from the department, the study will include desk research, statistical and financial analysis, interviews, mail surveys, meetings, presentations and recommendations.

Release of $6 central allocation results
Current school year Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) students who applied for $6 central allocation are reminded to check their application results at any of the eight registration centres or district education offices from 9 am tomorrow (Saturday).
A total of 2,294 S5 students satisfying the minimum A-Level entry requirements have applied for the remaining 261 S6 places at Stage V.
Place was allocated on the basis of the applicants' HKCEE results, choice of school, match of streams and subjects, and requirements set out by the schools.
The Education Department reminded successful candidates should register with the allocated school before 1 pm tomorrow.
Students who were still unable to secure a place after the completion of Stage V might be able to get one at the beginning of the new school year in September because some successful students might decide not to take up their places by that time.
