BLUEPRINT OF MALAYSIAN SUCCESS:

BLUEPRINT OF MALAYSIAN SUCCESS:

CALLING ALL RESEARCHERS

Perdana Leadership Foundation invites authors, writers and researchers to contribute articles for its upcoming publication,“ Blueprint of Malaysian Success” scheduled to be printed at the end of 2017. The book aims to not only describe but more importantly, to also explain the policies, initiatives and / or factors that accounted for Malaysia’ s success. Besides identifying the major policies, initiatives and / or factors that have altered the development path of the nation, the papers in this book present a rigorous and critical quantitative and / or qualitative analysis of the benefits as well as challenges faced in their implementation or execution.
By adopting a mandatory pre- and post-intervention model, each paper or article is able to not only elucidate the efficacy of the change but also to historically trace the advances achieved by the intervention. This model allows for a critical“ before and after” examination that augurs well for the derivation of lessons learnt from the Malaysian experience. In addition, papers or articles in this book may provide a cross-country comparison to serve as a benchmark for the quantitative and / or qualitative analysis carried out by the authors / writers / researchers.
This book is envisioned to serve as a major learning resource and reference for policymakers, students, researchers, academicians, writers and the reading public in Malaysia and around the world. The significance of this book is established by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’ s foreword in setting the tone for its content and positioning it as a critical resource and reference on Malaysian leadership and nation-building.
