Abstract

Traditionally, a nation's international competitiveness has been explained by international trade theories originating from Adam Smith. However, today's global economy is too complicated to be explained by the traditional trade theories. Recently, Michael Porter of the Harvard Business School introduced a new competitiveness theory, the so-called diamond model. He differentiated his theory from the traditional trade theories by arguing that national prosperity is not inherited, but created by choices; in other words, national wealth is not set by factor endowments, but created by strategic cho

Abstract

Climates of Competition studies the innovations and manoeuvres of geographically proximate competitors to further understand the nature and dynamics of competition.Through case-studies of manufacturers competing for shares in three industrial markets - agricultural machinery, processing equipment and heavy lifting equipment - a detailed picture of the nature of competition emerges.By combining questions of geography with those of corporate strategy, this study provides an advanced analysis of the relationship between competition and corporate learning processes.

Abstract

La compétitivité, un horizon incontournable de la ville ? Aucune ville n’y est en tout cas insensible, ni les favorites des classements internationaux, ni celles ne pouvant prétendre qu’à une place régionale, ni même les autres, reléguées de la hiérarchie mondiale mais impatientes de faire bonne figure. Cet ouvrage a précisément pour objectif d’interroger une telle unanimité. Que signifie au juste ce terme de « compétitivité » dont toutes les villes usent voire abusent ? Comment se fait-il que les autorités des villes les plus pauvres de la planète, pourtant incapables de concourir, se laissent prendre elles-mêmes à ce discours ? Quelle place accorder à un « impératif » de compétitivité dans le fonctionnement des villes et particulièrement des métropoles, en regard des autres enjeux urbains, notamment de justice sociale et de justice spatiale ? Qui dit la ville compétitive, qui la construit idéologiquement et matériellement ? Cet ouvrage tient toute sa place dans les débats contemporains sur l’urbain : il a pour ambition de démontrer que c’est bien à la lecture de la tension entre compétitivité et justice, entre enjeu économique et enjeu social, que l’injonction à la ville compétitive et ses conséquences spatiales méritent d’être déconstruites.

Abstract

This book is a reassessment of British performance in manufacturing since 1850 in the light of new evidence on international comparisons of productivity. Using a novel analytical framework of technological evolution, Stephen Broadberry uncovers new ways of looking at Britain's relative economic decline while debunking a number of misapprehensions regarding the nature and causes of the decline. It analyses productivity levels in Britain, the United States and Germany and provides detailed case studies of all the major manufacturing industries, broken down into three periods: 1850-1914, 1914-50 and 1950-90. Broadberry offers a wide coverage of industries, with invaluable country-specific information. By combining a multitude of detailed productivity measurements with qualitative industrial and business history, he provides a major contribution to our understanding of British economic performance over the last 150 years.
