The transformation of the manufacturingsector, and sustaining its competitiveness,remains a major factor in determining the
pace of economic activity in the country. For the Ninth Malaysia Plan period (2006-
2010), in meeting a more challenging andcompetitive global environment, a crucial
goal will be to upscale the manufacturingsector towards higher value added activitiesand upgrade capacity in the provision ofrelated services.
The focus will be on transforming industrialbusinesses and complementary services,especially SMEs, into strong knowledge-intensive and value-creating entities.

Globalization(or globalisation) describes an ongoing processby which regional economies, societies and cultures havebecome integrated through globe-spanning networks ofexchange.
The term is sometimes used to refer specifically to economic
globalization: the integration of national economies into theinternational economy through trade, foreign directinvestment, capital flows, migration, and the spread oftechnology.
However, globalization is usually recognized as being driven
by a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural,political and biological factors.
The term can also refer to the transnational dissemination ofideas, languages, or popular culture.

Globalization has various aspects which affect the world inseveral different ways such as:
Industrial- emergence of worldwide production markets andbroader access to a range of foreign products for consumersand companies. Particularly movement of material and goodsbetween and within national boundaries.
Financial- emergence of worldwide financial markets and
better access to external financing for borrowers. As theseworldwide structures grew more quickly than anytransnational regulatory regime, the instability of the globalfinancial infrastructure dramatically increased, as evidencedby the financial crises of late 2008.
Economic- realization of a global common market, based onthe freedom of exchange of goods and capital. Theinterconnectedness of these markets, however meant that aneconomic collapse in any one given country could not becontained.

Political- some use "globalization" to mean the creation of aworld government which regulates the relationships among
governments and guarantees the rights arising from socialand economic globalization. Politically, the United States hasenjoyed a position of power among the world powers, in partbecause of its strong and wealthy economy.
Informational- increase in information flows between
geographically remote locations. Arguably this is atechnological change with the advent of fibre opticcommunications, satellites, and increased availability oftelephone and internet. Language- the most popularlanguage is English.
About 35% of the world's mail, telexes, and cables are inEnglish.
Approximately 40% of the world's radio programs are inEnglish.
About 50% of all Internet traffic uses English.EUW 224 ENGINEERING

ompetition- Survival in the new global business marketcalls for improved productivity and increased competition.
Due to the market becoming worldwide, companies in variousindustries have to upgrade their products and use technologyskillfully in order to face increased competition.
Ecological- the advent of global environmental challengesthat might be solved with international cooperation, such as
climate changes, cross-boundary water and air pollution,over-fishing of the ocean, and the spread of invasive species.Since many factories are built in developing countries withless environmental regulation, globalism and free trade mayincrease pollution. On the other hand, economic development
historically required a "dirty" industrial stage, and it is arguedthat developing countries should not, via regulation, beprohibited from increasing their standard of living.

ultural- growth of cross-cultural contacts; advent of newcategories of consciousness and identities which embodies
cultural diffusion, the desire to increase one's standard ofliving and enjoy foreign products and ideas, adopt newtechnology and practices, and participate in a "world culture".Some bemoan the resulting consumerism and loss oflanguages. Also see Transformation of culture. Spreading of multiculturalism, and better individual access to cultural
diversity(e.g. through the export of Hollywoodand Bollywoodmovies).Some consider such "imported" culture a danger, since it may supplant thelocal culture, causing reduction in diversity or even assimilation. Othersconsider multiculturalism to promote peace and understanding betweenpeoples.
Greater international traveland tourism. WHO estimates that up to
500,000 people are on planes at any time. Greater immigration, including illegal immigration
Spread of local consumer products (e.g., food) to other countries (oftenadapted to their culture).
Worldwide sporting events such as FIFA World Cupand the OlympicGames.

The AFTA agreement was signed on 28 January 1992 inSingapore. When the AFTA agreement was originally signed,ASEAN had six members, namely, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia,Philippines, Singaporeand Thailand. Vietnamjoined in 1995,
Laosand Myanmarin 1997 and Cambodiain 1999. AFTA nowcomprises the ten countries of ASEAN. All the four latecomerswere required to sign the AFTA agreement in order to joinASEAN, but were given longer time frames in which to meetAFTA's tariff reduction obligations.

The primary goals of AFTA seek to:
Increase ASEAN's competitive edge as a production base inthe world market through the elimination, within ASEAN, oftariffs and non-tariff barriers; and
Attract more foreign direct investment to ASEAN.
What is the mechanism to realise AFTA?
AFTA has been realised through the Common EffectivePreferential Tariff (CEPT) Scheme. Under the CEPT:
Import duties among member countries will be reduced tobetween 0-5% by the full implementation of AFTA in 2010
Elimination of quantitative restrictions (import permit, quota)& other non-tariff barriers (NTBs) among ASEAN MemberCountries
Progressive transfer of products into the CEPT Scheme based
on each ASEAN member's capacity and capability.EUW 224 ENGINEERINGENTREPRENEURSHIP 15

The Patents Act 1983 and the PatentsRegulations 1986 govern patent protection
in Malaysia. An applicant may file a patent application
directly if he is domicile or resident in
Malaysia. A foreign application can only be filed
through a registered patent agent inMalaysia acting on behalf of the applicant.
A patent does not give its owner the rightto make, use, or sell an invention: rather,the right granted is only to exclude othersfrom doing so.

Trademark A trademark is any word, name, symbol, or device
used to identify the source or origin of products or
services and to distinguish those products or

information.

The word ERGONOMICS comes for two Greekwords, "ERGON" and "NOMOS". "ERGON" meanswork and "NOMOS" means natural law or rule.So, Ergonomics is "Natural Law or Rule of
Work".
Ergonomicsis the science of designing thejob, equipment, and workplace to fit the
worker. Proper ergonomic design is necessaryto prevent repetitive strain injuries, which candevelop over time and can lead to long-termdisability.
