Competence enhancing activities considered include political lobbying to extend the lifetime and value of a firm's competences, expanding services to enhance the value of manufacturing capabilities, initiating knowledge management projects, strategically adapting a firm's governance structures to take advantage of government policy initiatives, staging development of competences in internationalization processes, improving capabilities in managing alliances, understanding the factors conducive to entrepreneurial action-taking, and using individual competency development in self-managing processes for organizational competence building.Advances in applied business strategy ;v. 12CompetitionCore competenciesBusiness planningStrategic planningBusiness strategybicsscOperational researchbicsscBusiness & EconomicsStrategic PlanningbisacshBusiness & EconomicsOrganizational BehaviourbisacshBusiness & EconomicsOperations ResearchbisacshCompetition.Core competencies.Business planning.Strategic planning.Business strategy.Operational research.Business & EconomicsStrategic Planning.Business & EconomicsOrganizational Behaviour.Business & EconomicsOperations Research.658.4012Sanchez Ron330828Heene Aimé340482ZJCZJCBOOK9910785060603321Enhancing competences for competitive advantage3694198UNINA
