Despite these shifts in the global economy, some industries have remained competitive even without relocating their operations overseas. Industries and Global Competition examines how and why the specificities of certain industries and firms determined their choice of location and competitiveness. This volume identifies the major drivers of this process and explains why some firms and industries moved to other parts of world while others did not. Relocation was not the sole determinant of the success or failure of firms and industries. Indeed some were able to reinvent themselves at their original location and build new competitive advantages. The path that each industry or firm took varied. This book argues that the specific characteristics of each industry defined the conditions of competitiveness and provide a wide range of cases as illustrations.? Aimed at scholars, researchers and acadmeics in the fields of business history, international business and related disciplines Industries and Global Competition exmaines the unique questions; How and why did the specificities of certain industries and firms determine their choice of location and competitiveness?"--Provided by publisher. 410 $aRoutledge International Studies in Business History 606 $aInternational economics$2bicssc 606 $aEconomic history$2bicssc 606 $aBusiness & management$2bicssc 606 $aInternational business$2bicssc 606 $aProduction & quality control management$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of specific companies / corporate history$2bicssc 610 $aIndustry, Manufacturing, Paper, Information, Printing 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aEconomic history 615 7$aBusiness & management 615 7$aInternational business 615 7$aProduction & quality control management 615 7$aHistory of specific companies / corporate history 676 $a338.88 700 $aKurosawa$b Takafumi$4auth$01461516 702 $aBouwens$b A.
