Competitiveness Matters : Industry and Economic Performance in the U.S.

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book argues, against the current view, that competitiveness--that is, the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector--matters to the long-term health of the U.S. economy and particularly to its long-term capacity to raise the standard of living of its citizens. The book challenges the arguments popularized most recently by Paul Krugman that competitiveness is a dangerous obsession that distracts us from the question most central to solving the problem of stagnant real income growth, namely, what causes productivity growth, especially in the service sector. The central argument is that, if the U.S. economy is to achieve full employment with rising real wages, it is necessary to enhance the competitiveness of its tradable goods sector. The book shows that current account deficits cannot be explained by macroeconomic mismanagement but are rather the consequence of an uncompetitive manufacturing sector. It finds that the long-term health of the… [detailed...]

Competitiveness Strategy in Developing Countries: A Manual of Policy Analysis

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Globalization and structural adjustment offer many opportunities for export orientated industrialization in developing economies. As a group, competitiveness in the developing countries has improved, but, while East Asian economies have had rapid export growth and technological upgrades, South Asian and African economies have lagged behind. Old structures, institutions, behavioural patterns and public policies are ill-adapted to deal with the challenges posed by technological change and economic liberalization. Consequently there is an urgent need for change in government and private sector attitudes and strategies. This volume seeks to generalise the lessons across developing country and enterprise cases, and sheds light on which trade and industrial strategies and instruments work best, and which do not work, in relation to manufacturing competitiveness.

Competitiveness in the Tourism Sector: A Comprehensive Approach from Economic and Management Points (Contributions to Economics)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: International tourism is expected to be a major vehicle of economic development in industrializing countries in the 21st century, especially for Asia. To generate long-term growth, countries with tourism-based economies must develop strategies for employig their comparative advantages to achieve competitive advantages. However, competitiveness in the tourist industry is multi-dimensional and complex. This study evaluates the competitiveness of the Taiwanese tourism sector by a multi-dimensional framework.The theoretical model proposes that the competitiveness of tourist destinations should be composed of Ricardian comparative advantages (like the conditions of natural endowments and the degree of technological change), Porterian competitive advantages, torism management, i.e., providing high quality education and job training, public goods, support services and reduced transaction costs to enhance comparative and competitive advantages, and environmental conditions.

Competitiveness, Convergence, and International Specialization

Publisher: —
Description: David Dollar and Edward Wolff look at claims that a deindustrialized United States is on the road to secondrate status in the global marketplace and find them to be both unfounded and simplistic. Their systematic and empirical investigation of the mechanisms through which countries like Japan and Germany have caught up with the United States in terms of productivity and standard of living will inform public debate about which government policies are likely to improve a nation`s competitiveness. Looking at productivity convergence from the industry and subindustry level, Dollar and Wolff also examine questions of the relationship of productivity growth in individual industries to convergence of overall productivity in developed countries, theidentification of industries crucial for aggregate productivity growth, the sources of productivity growth within industries, the relationship between international trade and productivity convergence, and whether the same mechanics of… [detailed...]

Description: The seminal work of Michael Porter in the 1980s provided a conceptual basis to competitor analysis which has stood the test of time.

Competitor Targeting: Winning the Battle for Market and Customer Share

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Understanding and beating competitors is more challenging today than ever. The battlefield is complex, the adversaries are plentiful, and competitors are increasingly fast, flexible, and difficult to analyze and predict. In today`s crowded marketplace, everyone seems to want loyalty from the same customers. Many companies have taken their eye off the ball of competition in recent years and have instead invested heavily in Customer Relationship Management and related CRM technology. While this strategy of putting the customer at the center of the organization is valuable, it is equally important to keep a keen eye on the competition. In this environment, being focused on customers alone may not be enough to help the company succeed, and it may even beperilous. It is still possible— in fact, essential— to identify who to beat and how. Just as a rising tide raises all ships, so does strong marketplace demand mask a company`s competitve weaknesses. But when the economy… [detailed...]

The authors discuss the use of complementarity theory in the study of equilibrium of economic systems and present results they have obtained. In addition the authors present several new results in complementarity theory and several numerical methods for solving complementarity problems associated with the study of economic equilibrium. The most important notions of Pareto efficiency are also presented.

Complementary Medicine and the Law

Description: The growth of complementary medicine over the past decade has been accompanied by calls for greater regulation and for the most part it has been assumed that the regulation of orthodox medicine offers a suitable model for complementary medicine. The resul has been confusion over the purpose and effects of regulation and the obscuring of critical issues which deserve far greater public exposure. This book unravels the debates and analyses the benefits and drawbacks of regulation in this area. Te book has two aims. First of all it examines in some detail the way in which the law presently affects the practice of complementary medicine. The second aim is to examine all the arguments for and against greater regulation of complementary medicine. Infulfilling the second aim it challenges the notion that the legal and regulatory mechanisms which govern orthodox medicine constitute an appropriate model for the regulation of most complementary therapies.
