HOW COUNTRIES COMPETE - STRATEGY, STRUCTURE, AND GOVERNMENT IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
Business and political leaders often talk
about what their respective countries must do to compete in the world economy.
But what does it really mean for a country to compete, and how do they do this
successfully? As the world has globalized, countries develop strategies to
compete for the markets, technologies, and skills that will raise their
standards of living. These government strategies can make - or break - a
nation's efforts to drive and sustain growth. In "How Countries Compete:
Strategy, Structure and Government in the Global Economy", Richard Vietor
shows how governments set direction and create the climate for a nation's
economic development and profitable private enterprise.
Drawing on history, economic analysis, and
interviews with executives and officials around the globe, Vietor provides rich
and insightful examinations of different government approaches to growth and
development - leading to both success and failure. Individual chapters focus on
the unique social, economic, cultural, and historical forces that shape governments'
approach to economic growth. The countries discussed include: China, India,
Japan, Singapore, the United States Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and South
Africa. Vietor challenges the widespread notion that, in market-driven
economies such as the United States, a strong government can only hinder
business success. A provocative account and a rich resource, "How
Countries Compete" offers potent insights into how the business
environment has evolved in crucial nations - and what its trajectory might look
like in the future.
