Abstract
Competitiveness is a broad subject with
applications at the level of the firm, industry, region,
nation, and global economy. Each one of these aspects has a
rich literature drawn on by academics and policy makers over
a long period. This book seeks to present a broad overview
of the main ideas underlying competitiveness and its
applications, highlighting, and discussing in greater depth
the topics that are of relevance currently. The book draws
out the experiences of and lessons for developing economies
and examines in detail the role for policy. This paper is
structured as follows: chapter one addresses competition and
competition policy; chapter two examines competitiveness by
analyzing its many different indicators; chapter three looks
further at indexes of national competitiveness that describe
international competitive performance; chapter four
addresses innovation, an increasingly important aspect of
competitiveness; and chapter five discusses competitiveness
and clusters.
