Abstract
A science park has been increasingly established as a mechanism to stimulate knowledge-intensive activities for economic development. The Singapore Science Park, one of the earliest parks founded in economies at the developing stage, is ranked the second most popular in the Asia Pacific region. Through tracing its two-decade history, the present study identifies factors critical to its development. These include: a national environment encouraging R&D endeavour; strong government support; a committed management team; competitive rentals; and familiarity with the market. They suggest that both government with the macro-environment it creates and park management with the micro-strategies it formulates are decisive for the Park development. These provide insights for the management of other parks, particularly those latecomers in developing counties.
