ARTICLE *****
THE OCTOBER ISSUE OF THE HONG KONG MONTHLY DIGEST OF STATISTICS CONTAINS A SPECIAL REVIEW ARTICLE ON INDUSTRIAL CONCENTRATION AND PRODUCT SPECIALISATION OF 22 PROMINENT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES IN HONG KONG.
IT IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT $6 PER COPY AT THE GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS CENTRE AT GENERAL POST OFFICE BUILDING, CONNAUGHT PLACE.
THE SPECIAL ARTICLE IN THE DIGEST IS THE THIRD IN THE SERIES OF SPECIAL REVIEWS PRESENTING ANALYTICAL DATA OF THE 1973 CENSUS OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE CENSUS AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THE DEGREE OF ACTIVITY CONCENTRATION IN A SPECIFIED INDUSTRY SECTOR COULD BE EXPRESSED IN TERMS OF THE PERCENTAGE CONTRIBUTION MADE TO TOTAL SALES BY THE SECTOR'S LARGEST PRODUCERS.
+PRODUCTION SPECIALISATION, HE SAID, +DENOTES THE EXTENT TO WHICH PRODUCERS OF A SPECIFIED INDUSTRY SECTOR ARE SPECIALISED
IN MAKING PRODUCTS REGARDED AS PRIMARY TO THE INDUSTRY IN QUESTION. +
HE ADDED THAT THESE WERE TOPICS WORTHY OF FURTHER RESEARCH REGARDING THE STRUCTURE OF LOCAL MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES.
THE FIRST TWO ARTICLES IN THE SERIES WERE THE +SAL IENT FEATURES OF HONG KONG INDUSTRIES+ IN THE JULY 1975 ISSUE OF THE MONTHLY DIGEST AND THE +AN INTER-INDUSTRY COMPARISON OF STRUCTURAL RATIOS AND FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY IN THE JANUARY 1976 ISSUE.
THESE ARTICLES WERE INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT THE BASIC REPORTS OF THE CENSUS (VOLUMES I AND 11), THE SPOKESMAN SAID.
