Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002. The interest in becoming globally competitive through network strategies, particularly networks between small and medium-sized firms in local business communities, is high among academic researchers, economic development agencies and growth orientated firms. Important contributions to our understanding of the strategic use of networks are coming from a number of disciplinary and theoretical perspectives. This volume provides a unique opportunity to both synthesize this diverse literature and report the results of original research. It is particularly relevant to scholars of business and management, geography and economics

Download or read book Global Production Networks Knowledge Diffusion and Local Capability Formation written by Dieter Ernst and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops a conceptual framework that links knowledge about global production networks (GPNs), international knowledge diffusion and local capability formation. The authors analyze the forces behind the rise of GPNs, such as liberalization, information and communication technologies as well as global competition. They then discuss the network flagship model and examine through which mechanism knowledge diffuses. The authors conclude that the major determinant for successful knowledge conversion by local suppliers is their absorptive capacity. The authors advise such firms to invest in highly skilled labor and train also their own suppliers.
Download or read book Asian Industrial Clusters Global Competitiveness and New Policy Initiatives written by Bernard Ganne and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2009 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of what Asian industrial clusters might teach us. At a time when the dynamics of the world''s economy are increasingly being influenced by developments in Asia, the question takes on particular relevance because of the explosion of clusters and cluster policies throughout the region; and because of the great variety of models which can be seen developing in the various countries. Based on robust empirical surveys and interviews conducted in China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Japan, the studies collected in this book were first debated at an international workshop in Lyon. From industrial districts to poles of competitiveness, these studies explored the transformation of traditional systems of activities or industrial districts to new networks ready for global competition or innovation, and also the development of new agglomerations or scientific knowledge clusters. The wide range of case studies in this collection offers a rich store of theoretical and practical lessons for analysts, policy-makers and economists. The book will also be a useful guide for graduate students as well as researchers in economics, sociology and political studies.

Download or read book What Makes Clusters Competitive written by Anil Hira and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While global competitiveness is increasingly invoked as necessary for economic success stories, there are few answers available about how it can be achieved or maintained. The idea of stimulating industries to spur on economies is often proposed, but industrial policy can be seen as a boondoggle of government spending, and theorists of globalization are doubtful that such efforts can succeed in a world of fragmented supply chains. What Makes Clusters Competitive? tests fundamental theoretical hypotheses about what makes industries competitive in a globalized world by using the wine industries of several countries as case studies: Extremadura (Spain), Tuscany (Italy), South Australia, Chile, and British Columbia (Canada), Taking into account historical and location-specific characteristics, and drawing out policy lessons for other regions that would like to promote their industries, this volume demonstrates the value of applying cluster theory to understand market forces, while also describing the forces underlying the development of the wine industry in a range of different settings. An excellent resource for those interested in what makes industries succeed or struggle, What Makes Clusters Competitive? offers guidance for policymakers and the private sector on how to promote local industries. Contributors include David Aylward, Alexis Bwenge, Sara Daniele, F.J. Mesías Díaz, Christian Felzenstein, Husam Gabreldar, F. Pulido García, Sarah Giest, Elisa Giuliani, Andy Hira, Mike Howlett, A.F. Pulido Moreno, and Oriana Perrone.

This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Competition Enforcement New Players, New Challenges Edited by Paulo Burnier da Silveira & William Evan Kovacic In a short span of years, the landscape of global competition has changed significantly. In particular, international cooperation in competition law enforcement has greatly strengthened the battle against abuse of dominance, cartels, anticompetitive mergers and related political corruption. This thoroughly researched book explains the current situation regarding joint investigations, identifies common problems and considers possible solutions and future developments. In addition to covering issues of competition policy, its authors look in detail at practice in both merger and conduct investigations in a variety of countries. The following aspects of the subject and more are examined in depth: the interface between antitrust and anti-corruption; the digital economy’s challenges to competition authorities; convergent aims and rules among different competition authorities; regional organizations with competition mandates; competition neutrality and state-owned enterprises; and leniency programmes. Although necessarily there is considerable information on major antitrust regimes like those of the United States and the European Union, chapters by local experts highlight lessons to be learned from the work of competition authorities in five continents including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Japan, Mauritius, Mexico, Peru and South Africa. The contributors include competition enforcers, regulators, academics, practitioners and leading commentators from a range of jurisdictions. Adding up to an authoritative analysis from the enforcer’s perspective, the studies presented in the book clarify the approaches and priorities of competition enforcement authorities – including those of major emerging economies – and provide expert guidance on dealing with transnational investigations. Antitrust lawyers, corporate counsel and interested academics as well as policymakers will benefit immeasurably from this book’s wealth of informative detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pace of India's development depends to a large extent on its ability to implement the latest global manufacturing and the information and communication technologies and increase its competitiveness in the international market. In the developing countries world-wide, in recent times, the Pace of India's development depends to a large extent on its ability to implement the latest global manufacturing and the information and communication technologies and increase its competitiveness in the international market. In the developing countries world-wide, in recent times, manufacturing is taking over agriculture which in turn has led to the explosive growth of the service sector, especially in the fields of financial services, information and communication technologies, insurance, education and health. Indias service sector has already become the dominant contributor to GDP, accounting for 46 per cent of the total. Based on the information gathered from case studies, fact sheets and a range of self-assessment tools, and the authors interaction with academicians, bureaucrats, business executives and industrial experts, this book attempts to bring together the best management practices and provides the readers with a toolkit a practical advice. This book projects the hypothesis that no matter what the size or industry sector a company belongs to, there are a few tactics towards successful management which if adopted can phenomenally improve its global competitiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a period of increasing globalization and rapid growth in emerging countries, recognizing sources of regional competitiveness is of paramount importance. This timely and informative book identifies and analyses changes in the origins of regional advantage. The expert contributors illustrate that sources of regional competitiveness are strongly linked with spatially observable yet increasingly flexible realities, and include building advanced and efficient transport, communications and energy networks, changing urban and rural landscapes, and creating strategic and forward-looking competitiveness policies. They investigate long-term interactions between regional competitiveness and urban mobility, as well as the connections that link global sustainability with local technological and institutional innovations, and the intrinsic diversity of spatially rooted innovation processes. A prospective analysis on networks and innovation infrastructure is presented, global environmental issues such as climate change and energy are explored, and new policy perspectives Ð relevant world-wide Ð are prescribed. Networks, Space and Competitiveness will prove an invaluable resource for academics, students and researchers across a range of fields including international and regional economics, regional science, economic geography and international business.
