    A long period of economic and industrial development has allowed developing countries to evolve into newly industrialised countries (NICs). Simultaneously, the development of their major weapon systems has evolved from foreign weapons acquisition to independent development due to establishing research and development (R&D) capabilities. However, competitive pressures in the international arms market has finally led these countries to return to foreign acquisition, consequently rapidly eroding their R&D capability. Balancing foreign acquisition and independent development is a long-term strategic problem for NICs. This study applies the system dynamics methodology to construct a weapon systems development model for Taiwan. This model is used to analyse the impact of acquisition policy. The results here indicate three major possible growth curves for weapon systems R&D capability based on alternative weapon systems acquisition policies.

    A case study in Taiwan reveals that newcomers to system dynamics tend to use qualitative models without performing simulation. To develop quantitative simulation skills, this study identifies simulation barriers in the early stages and proposes an evolutionary approach to overcome such barriers. The simulation learning process is separated into two stages: the initial similation skill's development and the system dynamics expertise. A special purpose simulation software is then designed as well as a course established to test and evaluate the approach to the initial stage. The results of the study indicate that the approach with the software can help facilitate learners in developing initial simulation skills with a model scale of about two levels and forty equations. Thus, different stages require various approaches to the learning of quantitative system dynamics skills.

    Developing countries often nurture the automotive industry as a path to technological and economic development. Initially, the government often sets up policies to protect the industry, but eventually the industry must face global competition. The process of industrial development for developing countries is complex and dynamic because many roles are involved in the development process. This study analyses the characteristics of the automobile industry in developing countries and the structure of the automotive industry system in Taiwan to explore the system behaviour using system dynamics methodology. The study proposes a four-role model to identify the structure where consumers play an important and subtle role in the development process. The implications for international leading automotive firms, the survival strategies of domestic companies, and the policies for developing country governments are also discussed.

    The development of an industrial system is a complex and dynamic process. In developing countries, industrial development is even more complicated because it involves the interactions of domestic firms and multinational corporations (MNCs), the role of the government, and the development of technology. Both MNCs and the government play the role of providing the resources and the environment for the development of industrial systems. This study discusses the viewpoints of ecological systems and system dynamics to summarize the analysis of the development of Taiwan's automobile, semiconductor, and national defense industries. In addition, an evolutionary perspective is used to examine the development of the information technology and semiconductor industries. The results show that different systems viewpoint provides different insights into industrial development. Therefore, more diverse systems approaches are needed to further our understanding of the development of industrial systems.

    Taiwan has become the fourth largest semiconductor manufacturer worldwide within only 25 years. Taiwan's success in developing its semiconductor industry has been widely recognized. Building a semiconductor industry in a developing country is costly, risky, and requires long-term accumulations of capital, technology, human resources, and production capacity. The development process depends on environmental interactions, which should be studied in an integrated and holistic manner. Using system dynamics methodology, this study analyses the development experience of the Taiwanese semiconductor industry, in order to provide better insight into the long-term industrial development process. The study also simulates the proposed model in one historical setting and two future scenarios. Implications for the development of the semiconductor industry in Taiwan and other Asian countries are discussed.
