Abstract
Using field work material from small scale enterprises in Ujung Pandang, Indonesia, this paper examines the debate concerning whether the flexible specialisation paradigm is applicable to small enterprises in developing country contexts, or whether ‘survivalism’ is a more appropriate description of current production organisation. It is found that whilst there is some evidence for flexible specialisation, this is overshadowed by constraints to flexible specialisation from within and outside the enterprises, and ‘survivalism’ is closer to reality for the enterprises studied.
