Abstract: Despite a large number of recent research studies on linkages , the study of industrial linkages with emphasis on small-scale industries in many developing countries such a s Indonesia is still deficient. This study attempts to look into the pattern of s mall-scale industrial linkages in Ujung Pandang , South Sulawesi, Indonesia . Three sampled industrial categories were chosen, i .e . , food and drink industry , metal working industry , and clothing and textile industry which are further categorised into three subdivision s – ‘very small’ ( enterprises of 1 to 4 employees) , ‘ small – scale ‘ ( 5 to 9 employees>, and ‘smallish’ ( 20 employees or more ). Examination through in put phase, processing phase , a nd output phase shows that the enterprises t end t o be more local – oriented, and have heavier reliance on local retailing for all input categories and depend very much on the wholesalers / retailers a t the output marketing , it is mostly in the case of food a nd drink industry. Most linkages established with other producing establishments in input procurement are also highly concentrated in the food and drink industry although lower in the out put marketing. Of the three categories of establishments, the ‘very s mall’ category establish the strongest linkages both in all input procurement and in output marketing. More than fifty percent of the enterprises ‘ under utilise ‘ the production capacity. There is a need for a policy, particularly related to linkage promotion and development, efforts to be made maximally to utilise the capacity of enterprises and to broaden the soft or low interest rate loan .
