| Summary: | This publication presents a framework
that emphasizes the economic and policy incentives needed to
create competitive firms and national economies. It also
explains the key capabilities that firms must develop
in-house in order to become more competitive. The framework
provides a link between important policy issues such as
corporate governance, foreign direct investment, innovation
readiness, intellectual property rights, e-commerce, skill
training, and supply chain management. The papers presented
here emphasize that, while individual firms must take the
lead in enhancing competitiveness, the role of public policy
remains vital. This book also presents examples of private
effort and public policies that exemplify the lessons drawn
from international experience in designing policies and
institutions that strengthen competitiveness in
industrializing countries. |
