To the students, the summer vacation always seems to be especially short. The blank cells on the August calendar have almost all been cross-marked, soon it will be time to get the school bags ready and go back to school under the morning sun. We have the strong belief that when the upcoming September arrives, it will also be the same time when we advance toward the finish line step by step. In the year that passed, the two projects “Hong Kong Dual-Brand Promotion Programme” and the “The Roadmap of Design Strategy for Manufacturing SMEs” were initiated one after another. The former focuses on bridging between the Hong Kong and mainland China markets; whereas the latter is dedicated to helping manufacturing SMEs to enhance their competitive advantages through the use of design strategy. When the entire runway has almost been energetically stepped on, the time when efforts are paid and fruits are enjoyed is near. For all of you who have always been attentive and supportive to us, you are invited to share our joy and harvest at the “Hong Kong Dual-Brand Promotion Programme” Sharing Session, to take place in September, followed by the Book Launch of the “The Roadmap of Design Strategy for Manufacturing SMEs” in December.
Everyone, please be seated and prepared. This is the ceremony to reward those who have been struggling silently. Look forward, you will see that under the spotlight there is glitter and glamour.
對學生而言，暑假總是特別短暫，八月月曆上的格子幾乎在霎眼間全被畫上了一個個交叉，很快又要背上書包，踏著清晨的陽光步向學校。然而我們深信，即將來臨的九月同時也是我們正在一步一步奔往的終點線。在過去的一年裡，「香港雙品牌推廣計劃」以及「中小企製造商設計策略之路」兩個項目相繼開展，前者旨在為中港兩地的市場築起橋樑；後者則致力幫助中小企製造商透過使用設計策略為自身提高相對優勢。當躍動的步履即將踩過整條跑道，就是我們得見纍纍碩果之時。「香港雙品牌推廣計劃」將會於九月舉行合作成果分享會，而「中小企製造商設計策略之路」也會在十一月為大家帶來指南發布會，向一直留意和支持我們的各位分享我們的喜悅和收穫。
各位，請找個位，這是一個為默默拼搏的人喝采的典禮。望前看，你會看見聚光燈下，流光溢彩。
The book aims to sketch a design strategy for Hong Kong manufacturing SMEs. The stakeholders would benefit from the case studies of manufacturing SMEs and a series of easily practicable tools for application.
