Abstract:
PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
Há dois pontos de vista dominantes no campo da Administração Estratégica para explicar o desempenho das empresas: a visão da Organização Industrial, que destaca o papel do ambiente industrial e a Visão Baseada em Recursos, que salienta a importância das características individuais das empresas, ambos extensamente estudados. Entretanto, a associação entre o desempenho das empresas e a competitividade das nações, em termos de seus ambientes institucionais, culturais, políticos e econômicos é um campo do conhecimento que continua a ser pouco explorado. Este estudo buscou comprovar que o desempenho das empresas varia não apenas em função das indústrias a que elas pertencem ou de suas características individuais, mas também em função do ambiente mais geral dos países em que elas operam. A partir dos relatórios anuais de competitividade do World Economic Forum e dos indicadores de desempenho obtidos a partir da base de dados do MSCI Inc., foram testadas as hipóteses formuladas associando o ambiente mais geral dos países ao desempenho de suas empresas, sendo encontradas evidências da existência do relacionamento entre os indicadores de competitividade dos países e o desempenho sustentável de suas empresas. O estudo tratou de maneira pioneira o relacionamento entre o conceito da vantagem competitiva das nações, através de seus indicadores de competitividade e a vantagem competitiva das empresas, por meio de seu desempenho; testou empiricamente o modelo do Diamante Competitivo do Professor Michael Porter; destacou três variáveis, habitualmente negligenciadas na linha de pesquisas das fontes de desempenho de empresas: a Sofisticação dos Compradores, o PIB e as Compras Governamentais; e criou um novo indicador de desempenho que também traduz a sua sustentabilidade, o qual se relaciona à linha da pesquisa da persistência dos retornos anormais.
There are two dominant points of view in the field of Strategic Management to explain the firm performance: the Industrial Organization view, which highlights the role of the industrial environment, and the Resource Based View, which emphasizes the importance of the idiosyncratic characteristics of firms, both extensively studied. However, the association between the firm performance and the competitiveness of nations in terms of their institutional, cultural, political and economical environment is a field of knowledge still insufficiently explored. This study shows that firm performance depends not only on the industries to which they belong or to their individual characteristics, but also to the wider environment of the countries where they operate. From the Annual Competitiveness Reports of the World Economic Forum and the financial performance indicators obtained from the database of MSCI Inc., the hypothesis made relating the wider environment of the countries to the performance of their firms were tested. Evidences of the relationship between the nation´s competitiveness indicators and the sustainable performance of their firms were found. The study pioneered the approach relating the concept of competitive advantage of nations, through its indicators of competitiveness, to the competitive advantage of companies, through their performance; empirically tested the model of Michael Porter´s Competitive Diamond; highlighted three variables, usually neglected in the line of research of the sources of firm performance: Buyers Sophistication, GDP and Government Purchases; and created a new indicator of performance that also reflects its sustainability, which relates to the line of research on the persistence of abnormal returns.

Abstract:
The present study applies Porter's diamond framework, which identifies the sources of international competitive advantage for particular industries in a country, to the case of Greece. The diamond framework and Porter's work on the development of competitive economies are first summarised, their main applications are presented and a critical evaluation is attempted using the various criticisms and comments made by other researchers. Then, a short economic history of Greece since its liberation and a brief description of Greece's past and present economic environment are followed by 'a review of the Greek literature on industrial competitiveness. The competitive structure of Greek industrial clusters is further explored with the help of trade and other relevant data. Using Porter's methodology, the competitive Greek industries are identified and categorised in clusters. A large part of the study is devoted to five case-studies of particular Greek industries, namely the cement, rolled aluminium products, tourism, men's outerwear, and dairy industries. The conclusions from the case studies, and the data analysis, are positive for the applicability of the framework to Greece. Areas of concern, nevertheless, are apparent, related to domestic rivalry, customer sophistication, as well as, the relationship between firm strategy and structure, and rivalry. On the other hand, Porter's emphasis on geographic concentration, on the industry level of competitiveness, and especially on the cluster concept are found to be justified. These conclusions also provide the basis for the presentation of some suggestions concerning the Greek State's policies and the strategies of Greek companies.

Abstract:
The international construction industry is highly competitive with competition expected to further intensify. However, the market remains essentially heterogeneous with contractors able to express aspects of competitive advantage. This research is concerned with the nature and application of competitive advantage. Relevant theories are reviewed in order to examine and explain the general international market. From these theories, a suitable method was adopted to accommodate the attributes of international construction and to explain 'how, why, where and when' internationalisation was viable. This is the Porter model of national competitive advantage, adapted to accentuate the consideration of locations. Through research involving major construction contractors from the UK and two competitor nations; France and Germany, each nation's 'national diamond' profile of competitive advantage was formed. This model was then applied to specific, economically distinguished, locations; Portugal, Spain and Italy, to examine the various characteristics of relative competitive internationalisation. The combination of theoretical prediction and practical research revealed numerous elements of national competitive differentiation. These influence internationalisation, focussing consideration within a progressive framework of 'how and why, where and when'. The research shows that relative competitive advantage enhances the area of viable internationalisation, through allowing competition to be undertaken within more economically mature nations. Further, this framework will also direct contractors to key areas for improvement in their relative competitive profile.

Abstract:
Thesis (S.M. in Engineering and Management)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2012.
Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 83-86).
Over the past several years, the world has been inundated with stories which, when connected, describe an informal and disorganized race by many nations to establish a leadership position in capturing the economic rewards from the pressing need to clean up the worldwide energy supply. At the forefront of this race, is the competition to become the largest supplier of solar energy generation products and services. Many governments around the world are actively incentivizing and creating policy with the hope of constructing a competitive advantage within the solar industry. This thesis aims to provide the decision maker with a novel, objective, and cross-disciplinary perspective on the solar innovation system in the United States. The intention of this thesis is to encourage new ways of thinking about the solar innovation system and to inspire new approaches to effectively support its growth. This thesis presents recommendations to the decision maker at the Department of Energy (DOE) grounded in the underlying dynamics of solar innovation and the DOE's capacity to act. This thesis found that the driving force behind the evolution of solar innovation is a special type of firm which tends to start as an informal group or tribe within a professional environment. The special type firm, the solar innovation leading enterprise, is characterized by performing an in-depth analysis of the evolution of the solar industry in the U.S. over the past 20 years. The solar innovation leading enterprise is a type of firm that has demonstrated the ability to create a disproportionate amount of value for the solar innovation system. Not only has the solar innovation leading enterprise generated value, but it has spilled over enough value to incentivize the building of a broader set of regional capabilities which can be exported to the rest of the world. This thesis presents the ideal characteristics of the solar innovation leading enterprise and the dynamics which lead to its formation, growth, evolution, and sometimes to its creative destruction. The intricacies of how the solar innovation leading enterprise is born, how it evolves, what it requires to grow, and its dynamic relationship with the solar innovation cluster are presented and were derived by examining over 100 case studies in the solar industry. The current state of the competitive advantage of the U.S. is shown by presenting the status of the emerging and established regional solar innovation capabilities. Finally, a framework is constructed to guide the decision maker's actions. It presents the decision maker with ways to build the future competitive advantage of a nation now. The framework has its foundation in the underlying dynamics of solar innovation and characteristics of the solar innovation leading enterprise.

Abstract:
The objective of this study is to identify the key determinants of Australia's competitive advantage in the Non-residential construction industry. Porter's Five Competitive Forces Model has been used to analyse the existing industry structure both in Australia and Thailand. In addition. Porter's Diamond Model has been used for identifying the key determinants of Australia's competitive advantage in the industry. The study has drawn upon industry data obtained from interviews with operation managers and executives of major Australian firms in the non-residential construction industry who have been successfully operating in Thailand over the last ten years. Research, undertaken in Australia and Thailand, includes interviews and case study information gained from industry, government and academia. A key finding applicable to each case study was that Australian non-residential construction firms operating in Thailand competed successfully on higher order technological expertise in construction management and operation. Expertise and innovation was created and sustained at home through vertically integrated clusters of industry suppliers to the main contractor and replicated or adapted abroad to local circumstances. Australia's national competitive advantage in the industry has relied on the interaction of key determinants. Favourable factor conditions have provided Australia with a key advantage base, for example, skilled personnel, experience in a variety of construction areas due to the demands of Australia's geography and development needs, and adequate infrastructure provision both physical and capital. Favourable factor conditions combined with intense service rivalry at home, supportive related industries, demanding buyers, and effective competition policy are the key to Australia's success. The study goes on to explain the role that industry and government can play to ensure Australia remains internationally competitive in the industry. In addition summary recommendations are provided of the steps that Thailand needs to take to improve its competitiveness in general and the development of the construction industry in particular.

Abstract:
This thesis provides a critical analysis of Dubai’s approach to economic development planning over the period covered by its first three formalized plans that is 1996 to 2010. Dubai experienced a period of very rapid economic growth in the ten years before the 2008 global financial crisis, despite being a small economy with little oil; oil revenues only accounted for 2% of GDP in 2011. This dissertation analyzes and evaluates how the nature of Dubai’s strategic planning changed over the period 1996 to 2010 and the factors underpinning those changes. The thesis also offers an assessment of the potential for Dubai to develop and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage in the future. To help evaluate Dubai’s first three formalized economic development plans, this thesis identifies and discusses a number of theoretical frameworks and concepts to identify key concepts and relationships between ideas and practice in the field of economic development planning. In particular, a comparison is drawn between corporate strategic planning and economic development planning approaches and their relevance to the Dubai context. Given the blurred boundaries between the state and commerce, both approaches have potential relevance, at least in part, to Dubai. Dubai’s economic development plans are set against the historical, political, economic, social and cultural and context of the Emirate. The plans are analyzed using computer-based text analytics and summarized in mindmap form. This allows the major themes of the plans to be compared and progression between the plans to be identified. The plans are analyzed from a number of perspectives including the role of government, the expected contribution of the private sector and the role of higher education and research in promoting development. However, the main area of analysis is the extent to which the plans successfully identify development paths which will result in sustainable competitive advantage for Dubai. The thesis also reports on the results of semi-structured interviews with prominent experts. The interviews provide an important source of evidence and opinions on the successes and shortcomings of Dubai’s planning and plans and the actions which need to be taken if Dubai is to achieve its long-term aim of becoming and innovation an innovation driven knowledge-based economy.

Mapuranga, Silencer W. Z. Mzembi. "The competitive advantage of nations : an exposition of the limitations of the Single Nation Diamond Theory in the case of Zimbabwe's exports to the OECD and South Africa markets." Thesis, University of Leicester, 2000. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/31104.

Full text
Abstract:
In searching for explanations to a Nation's export growth studies have been focused on identification of the determining conditions and analysing their relationship with the countries' export competitive advantage. One outstanding framework of such analysis has been the 'Single Diamond' (SD) conditions approach developed by Michael Porter, (1990). However, criticisms of this model range from its limitation in explaining the competitive advantage of small or developing countries, up to and including its exclusion, by definition, of factor conditions that are domiciled outside national borders. Furthermore this model's variables choice is too subjective such that their individual importance to the overall national competitive advantage are deemed country specific. Consequently alternative models that include causal factors that derive from cross- border networking of all kinds of commercial intercourse have been posited in the form of a 'Double' (DD) or 'Multiple' (MD) Diamond framework. This research's major objective was to test if Porter's Single Nation diamond framework could be used to fully identify and explain the source of 'determining' conditions that give Zimbabwe (an African Developing Country) its international competitive advantage in Developed Countries markets. Thus using local determining conditions alone (SD) and then a combination of local and foreign (DD or MD) conditions it was possible to identify the limitations of the SD framework. The results of this research are in line with experiences of other small countries and they suggest that the single diamond approach is limited in its explanation of the identity and sources of conditions that determine that country's competitive advantage. The Double-Diamond framework linking Zimbabwe to S. Africa's advanced economy was superior to both the SD and MD alternatives. The conclusion reached was that in the case of Zimbabwe the DD framework of analysis should be the basis for designing economic and trade development policies. However, in the context of this DD approach, further empirical research should focus on the influence of the DCs economic growth on the LDC's development pattern.

Abstract:
The five countries that lie on the isthmus connecting North and South America have endured a past of colonialism, civil war, and natural disaster. As these countries evolve in the 21st century, growing economies and political peace provide a promising outlook for the citizens of these nations. The media industries in these nations have varying levels of development which are explored in this thesis. Using Michael Porter's 1990 framework and a case study methodology, this thesis explores the differences and similarities of media industries in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and what may be done to ensure future success in an increasingly global world.

Abstract:
There has always been technical change since the beginning of mankind, and its importance continues in the present age. These days, the technology levels of these countries determine their competitive advantage within the international market. During the course of this paper, technical change in Central Eurasian countries will be examined. In the first part of the study, technology and innovation will be examined theoretically. The economies of the Central Eurasian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan will be introduced in the second section of the paper. Following this, technical change in the countries of Central Eurasia will be scrutinised under three groups. These are namely technological research and development, innovation and adaptation of technology. Technical change will be analyzed through data on innovation and technology, as published by the United Nations Development Programme in their "Human Development Report 2013". During the final section of this paper, comparisons will be made between the countries of Central Eurasia and Turkey and other regions in the world according to the level of technical changes which have been determined to have taken place in the Central Eurasia region. The advantages of preparing joint regional development plans including the technological development of the Central Eurasian countries will be discussed as a result of this comparison.

Abstract:
Introduction A Knowledge Management System is a valuable tool for the Naval Architect or Marine Professional. It plays an important role in transforming the data to information and information to knowledge which is known as the transformation lifecycle. Knowledge Management is a key factor for creating value and competitive advantage. A common approach to knowledge structuring facilitates the sharing of knowledge and collaboration with others, based on knowledge sharing, which increases the value proposition of organizations like the SNAME. “The transformation of information into knowledge is a critical one, lying at the core of value creation and competitive advantage” – Stewart 2001 Positioning Knowledge Management can be applied in many different ways related to the specific requirements of organizations, societies, companies and individuals. National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) has done extensive work in the area of Knowledge Aware Engineering to enable: - Active Delivery Relevant Knowledge - Cultivation of Technical Memory - Enablement of Engineering Decision Support - Integration into the Engineering Process - Supports for standards, heuristics and best practices.

Abstract:
Both liquids pipeline and natural gas transportation companies have been confronted with increasing competition over the past several years. Shippers have become far more demanding, insisting that transporters provide more cost effective rates. As a result, pipeline companies are under increased pressure to reduce transportation rates. This scenario is also true for regulated pipelines where shippers are joining forces to pressure transporters to be more creative in their ways of doing business so they can provide lower tolls. In order to assess their current cost structures and identify the most appropriate areas of their business to focus improvement efforts, pipeline companies have benchmarked their performance against competitors and leaders in the industry. Companies have used the results from these benchmarking studies for several purposes: a) understand cost / activity driver relationships; b) obtain empirical versus anecdotal information; c) assess their current level of performance; d) identify opportunities for improvement, focusing efforts on areas with the greatest potential for cost reductions; e) establishing realistic performance improvement targets; f) challenge corporate “myths and legends”; and g) provide insights into leading business practices that have been used by other companies to improve efficiencies. Results from the benchmarking studies suggest that the pipeline industry is, in general, reacting to this pressure for lower transportation costs. Over the past three years, based on a sample of North American pipeline companies, both liquids and gas pipelines have reported improvements in operating costs on a unitized/normalized basis. These cost reductions have resulted from focusing improvement efforts on key areas of the business where performance was not up to industry standards. Modifying business practices in these areas has been critical in assisting these organizations in reducing costs. This paper will present a comprehensive approach to conducting pipeline benchmarking studies. Actual performance results for both gas transportation and liquids carriers will be discussed. The results will focus both on current cost levels as well as industry trends. In addition, it will provide insights into initiatives that have been successful in helping reduce cost structures, moving them towards being the “shipper of choice”.

Abstract:
MEMS industry in Japan has successfully taken off and been expected its rapid expansion, and is classified as a priority technology in the 3rd Science and Technology Basic Plan. Further involvement from the government in support technology development and commercialization is essential to achieve competitive advantage of the industry. In relation with the large anticipation of MEMS industry, Micromachine Center recently launched MEMS Industry Forum (MIF) in order to support MEMS industry development in collaboration with the government, the academia and the industry. Primary activities of MIF are policies proposal to the government, supporting the national project implementation, education, MEMS foundry service network and so on. The new national project, conducted by New Energy and Industrial Technology development Organization (NEDO), launched in July, 2006. The project focuses upon technology development on highly integrated MEMS, such as MEMS/MEMS, CMOS/MEMS and Nano/MEMS integrations, and its final goal is to commercialize the next generation MEMS devices and systems in five to ten years.

Abstract:
The government of Rafael Correa (2007-2017) embarked on an ambitious project of diversifying the national economy to transition from a primary resource exporting economy to a competitive Knowledge Society and a Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy as biodiversity was conceptualized as the country’s most significant comparative advantage. This paper traces how peoples’ and nationalities’ knowledges, so-called ancestral knowledges, were elicited in unprecedented ways in this context of bringing about a change of the productive matrix. While knowledge in general was reframed as an infinite resource, ancestral knowledges were made productive for a state-led project of capitalist modernization.
