Book excerpt: During the last three decades many modem management scholars, economists, corporate practitioners and consultants have shared the idea that firms compete and grow on the basis of distinctive capabilities. A key issue understands which capabilities are necessary to make firms more efficient and competitive over their competitors, especially in a global economy, and how firms can build or acquire these sets of capabilities. Within this context, this thesis addresses an important but previously neglected question, namely, how do latecomer firms (from developing countries), operating in import substitution-led economies and supplying the local market, gain the necessary capabilities to begin exporting on the international stage? We argue that these firms begin to succeed because they develop what we call 'transition capabilities' which enable some firms to make the transition from a focus on the local market (import substitution) to an export-led focus. This issue is particularly important, as many countries in Latin America have attempted to make this transition under new export driven policies and the opening up of their economies during the late 1980s and 1990s. Given the lack of study in this area, this thesis provides an exploratory study of one developing country (Brazil), which appears to have been highly successful, with exports increasing from US$ 60 billion dollars in 2002 to US$ 134 billion in 2006 (current prices). This study analyses how Brazilian export firms made the transition from the set of capabilities focusing on the local market to capabilities focusing on the export market. For this purpose, we surveyed a sample of around 500 exporting firms of various sectors and sizes to profile their export capabilities and to choose a small sample for in-depth analysis. We then conducted an in-depth case study of 3 Brazilian export firms covering different sectors, technologies and firm sizes. The results show that a firms' early motivation to develop transition capabilities was based on the necessity to improve standards of production so that they could face the rising internal competition from foreign firms entering the market as a result of government policies on economic liberalization. In order to move into exports, firms then needed to develop new sets of capabilities that differed from, but were combined with existing import-substitution capabilities. In addition to providing an understanding of transition capabilities, the thesis contributes to public policy by showing in what areas public institutions and policy makers need to act in building transition capability programs, especially given the finding that only a small proportion of firms successfully developed these capabilities. This would assist policy to move from a 'passive' or implicit strategy, relying solely on promoting general export and liberalization, to an active promotion of transition capabilities. In the private sector we believe that our examples of success may be able to inspire other Brazilian firms to develop poignant strategies towards transition capabilities.

This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrialization supported by industrial hubs has been widely associated with structural transformation and catch-up. But while the direct economic benefits of industrial hubs are significant, their value lies first and foremost in their contribution as incubators of industrialization, production and technological capability, and innovation. The Oxford Handbook of Industrial Hubs and Economic Development adopts an interdisciplinary approach to examine the conceptual underpinnings, review empirical evidence of regions and economies, and extract pertinent lessons for policy reasearchers and practitioners on the key drivers of success and failure for industrial hubs. This Handbook illustrates the diverse and complex nature of industrial hubs and shows how they promote industrialization, economic structural transformation, and technological catch-up. It explores the implications of emerging issues and trends such as environmental protection and sustainability, technological advancement, shifts in the global economy, and urbanization.
Download or read book Latecomer Development written by Banji Oyelaran-Oyeyinka and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important issue for development centres on the debate about the centrality of knowledge, technology and innovation to the process of economic development. While this much is broadly agreed, what is at issue is the precise mechanics of overcoming economic development challenges in different contexts. At the heart of it all is about how economies at different levels deploy the unending streams of information and knowledge to developmental ends. In time, the notion of income convergence between the poorer South and the wealthy North has proved a mirage, while a new economic divide has in fact occurred within the South itself, and as well, between regions and within regions. The debate relating to latecomers is thus framed in discussions about regions and countries that arrive late to mastering industrialization in achieving economic prosperity through the use of knowledge. In other words, a new divide has emerged among the latecomers themselves, and with it, greater conceptual complexity in the ways of our understanding of the divergent ways of economic development. We have thus separated "fast followers" and new "late comers". This book enters this debate acutely aware of the complexity of this process. The authors argue that economic development is largely driven by innovation, concentrating on the dynamics of process, product and organizational changes and how they are embedded within specific and varied contextual institutions.

Book excerpt: Governments are increasingly confronted with scarce resources, which force their export promotion organisations to seek more efficient ways and methods. At the same time, with the export successes of the emerging economies, public export promotion policies of countries are confronted with diminishing returns, particularly when the traditional export promotion instruments are used. The DSM (Decision Support Model) approach to export promotion, which is adopted and explained in the book, is deeply rooted in the international marketing research literature and allows to identify, in the rapidly changing international environment, the most promising realistic export opportunities for exporting countries.

Download or read book Modern Evolutionary Economics written by Richard R. Nelson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolutionary economics sees the economy as always in motion with change being driven largely by continuing innovation. This approach to economics, heavily influenced by the work of Joseph Schumpeter, saw a revival as an alternative way of thinking about economic advancement as a result of Richard Nelson and Sidney Winter's seminal book, An Evolutionary Theory of Economic Change, first published in 1982. In this long-awaited follow-up, Nelson is joined by leading figures in the field of evolutionary economics, reviewing in detail how this perspective has been manifest in various areas of economic inquiry where evolutionary economists have been active. Providing the perfect overview for interested economists and social scientists, readers will learn how in each of the diverse fields featured, evolutionary economics has enabled an improved understanding of how and why economic progress occurs.

Book excerpt: This annual publication analyses the global and national dimensions of the investment climate for developing countries, in terms of the policy and institutional environment. This edition examines the growth of regional trade agreements, which have risen eight-fold in two decades with currently, as much as 40 percent of global trade taking place among countries that have some form of reciprocal regional trade agreement. Issues discussed include: regional trading trends; effects of regional agreements on trade creation, trade facilitation and services, investment, intellectual property rights, and labour mobility; whether the proliferation of agreements poses risks for multilateral trading system, and if so, options for managing them. The report finds that agreements leading to open regionalism (that is, deeper integration of trade as a result of low external tariffs, increased services competition, and efforts to reduce cross-border and customs delays costs) are effective as part of a larger trade strategy to promote growth. Although regional agreements can prove beneficial to member countries, they can have adverse effects on excluded countries, and the lowering of border barriers around the world is crucial to minimising these effects. The completion of the Doha Development Agenda by all WTO countries will reduce the risk of trade diversion associated with regional agreements and will decrease trade losses of countries excluded from agreements.

Download or read book The Latecomer s Rise written by Muyang Chen and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-15 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Latecomer's Rise, Muyang Chen reveals the nature and impact of a rapidly growing form of international lending: Chinese development finance. Over the past few decades, China has become the world's largest provider of bilateral development finance. Through its two national policy banks, the China Development Bank (CDB) and the Export-Import Bank of China (China Exim), it has funded infrastructure and industrial projects in numerous emerging markets and developing countries. Yet this very surge and magnitude of capital has raised questions about the characteristics of Chinese bilateral lending and its repercussions on the international order. Drawing on a variety of novel Chinese primary sources, including interviews and official bank documents, Chen pinpoints the distinctiveness of Chinese bilateral development finance, explains its origins, and analyzes its effects. She compares Chinese policy banks with their foreign counterparts to show that the CDB and China Exim, while state-supported, are in fact also market-oriented—they are as much government organs as they are profit-driven financial agencies that serve both state and firms' interests. This approach, which emerged out of China's particular economic history, suggests that Chinese overseas lending is not merely a tool of economic statecraft that challenges Western-led economic regimes. Instead, China's responses to extant rules, norms, and practices across given issue areas have varied between contestation and convergence. Rich with empirical detail and penetrating insights, The Latecomer's Rise demystifies the little-known workings of Chinese development finance to revise our conceptions of China's role in the international financial system.
