Reviews

'It can be seen that this well-produced book covers a big field and there will be something in it to interest most economists.' -- Graham Bannock, The Business Economist 'This collection makes a considerable step beyond the theories of Ricardo and Krugman, probing the nitty-gritty of international competitiveness and its underlying determinants at the organisational level.' -- F.M. Scherer, Harvard University and Princeton University, US 'Competitiveness is much discussed, but little understood. Scholarly empirical research on the topic is surprisingly rare. Understanding the connection between national culture, human resource management, industrial policy and the other dimensions of competitiveness requires an interdisciplinary perspective. Here at last is a good interdisciplinary collection of papers which provides significant insights into the determinants of national competitiveness within the modern global economy.' -- Mark Casson, University of Reading, UK
