FACTORS AFFECTING A NATION’S COMPETITIVENESS
Michael Porter’s “Diamond of national advantage” explains why some nations and their industries outperform others.
Factor endowments
Demand conditions
Related and supporting industries
Firm strategy, structure, & rivalry
4
FACTORS AFFECTING A NATION’S COMPETITIVENESS: FACTOR ENDOWMENTS
These include a skilled human resource pool, in addition to the supporting infrastructure of a country, e.g., communication and transportation systems
5
Factors Affecting a Nation’s Competitiveness: Demand Conditions
Demand conditions refer to the demands that consumers place on an industry.
Demanding consumers drive firms in that country to:
Meet high standards.
Upgrade existing products and services.
Create innovative products and services.
Better anticipate future global demand.
Proactively respond to product & service requirements.
6
FACTORS AFFECTING A NATION’S COMPETITIVENESS: DEMAND CONDITIONS
The growth of box office spending overseas is a result of a cinema boom in the emerging world, a concerted effort by the major studios to make films that might play well outside the United States and a global marketing push to make sure they do.
The imported films made more than five times as much as the home-grown products in Russia.
7
FACTORS AFFECTING A NATION’S COMPETITIVENESS: RELATED & SUPPORTING INDUSTRIES
Related and supporting industries enable firms to manage inputs more effectively.
A competitive supplier base
Reduces manufacturing costs
Italy has overtaken Germany and is currently no.1 in the European Union for value of pharmaceutical production (€ 31.2 billion, vs € 30.5 billion for Germany).
8
RELATED & SUPPORTING INDUSTRIES
In Denmark, everyone drinks directly from the tap, all restaurants serve tap water
9
RELATED & SUPPORTING INDUSTRIES
10
FACTORS AFFECTING A NATION’S COMPETITIVENESS: FIRM STRATEGY
Firms develop strategies and structures to compete with other firms in the same country that are trying to capture the same customer market.
11
FIRM STRATEGY
12
CONCLUDING COMMENT ON FACTORS AFFECTING A NATION’S COMPETITIVENESS
Porter’s conclusions were based on case histories from more than 100 industries. A common theme did emerge: Firms that succeeded in global markets had first succeeded in intense competition in home markets. Thus, successful global firms often result from determination, continuing improvement, innovation, and change.
13
POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION INCLUDES
1. Increased market size (Boeing’s commercial aircraft; Microsoft; Hollywood films)
2. Enhance a product’s growth potential (soft drink producers PepsiCo and Coca-Cola; Procter & Gamble’s personal care products)
3. Optimize the location of every value chain activity (Microsoft)
14

Increase size of potential markets
Attain economies of scale
Applied to every stage of the value chain
Enhance a product’s growth potential
Reinvigorate the product life cycle

PROTOCOL ISSUES IN HONG KONG
Members of the same sex may hold hands to signify friendship, but members of the opposite sex may not.
Do not pat people on the shoulder or initiate any physical contact. It is not appreciated.
“Come here” is signified by turning the palm face down and waving the fingers.
Clocks (they imply death)
Books (they represent a “Curse to Lose” for gamblers)
Blankets (they choke the recipient’s prosperity)
Unwrapped gifts (this is rude)
Gifts wrapped in blue (the color of mourning)
21
INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION: MANAGING RISKS
Various activities of the firm’s value chain can be spread across several countries & continents via
Outsourcing
Offshoring
BT (formerly British Telecom), the UK telecom giant, outsourced its human resources operation to Accenture
Net revenues of $39.6 billion, with more than 459,000 employees.
150,000 employees in India, about 48,000 in the US, and about 50,000 in the Philippines. Strategy, consulting, digital, technology and operations.
22
Difference
Outsourcing is when a company negotiates a contract with a third party to perform a specific function. However, offshoring is when a company sends in-house jobs to be performed in another country. An example of offshoring is for a United States based company to produce their goods in Mexico.

International Corporate-Level Strategy

INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIES: OPPOSING PRESSURES (MULTIDOMESTIC STRATEGY)
Managers of multinational firms often experience dilemmas when it comes to adjusting to the norms of foreign countries in which they operate. One especially difficult choice is whether or not to participate in bribery to get projects moving forward or to get approvals needed.
25
Transnational Strategy
The Need for Contextual Intelligence which is defined :
as the ability to understand the limits of one’s knowledge and to adapt that knowledge to an environment different from the one in which it was developed.
Ways in which products are marketed and buying decisions are made, and how individual customers and employees interact.
26
TRANSNATIONAL STRATEGY
Johnson & Johnson today operates in 57 countries with 250 operating companies. How does one manage a company with so many different products and operations in so many different countries?
They standardize processes in staff and support areas like procurement, human resources, and IT, but not in operations. The managing directors of operating companies have enormous freedom to run their businesses.
27
CHOICE OF INTERNATIONAL ENTRY MODE
28
29
ENTRY MODES OF INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION
Exporting
Exporting consists of producing goods in one country and selling them in another.
LIMITATIONS
Firms have little ability to tailor their products to match the local market demands.
Furthermore, the exporting firm has little control over how their products are marketed or sold in the foreign market.
