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. 410 0$aAdvances in applied business strategy ;$vv. 12 606 $aCompetition 606 $aCore competencies 606 $aBusiness planning 606 $aStrategic planning 606 $aBusiness strategy$2bicssc 606 $aOperational research$2bicssc 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xStrategic Planning$2bisacsh 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xOrganizational Behaviour$2bisacsh 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xOperations Research$2bisacsh 615 0$aCompetition. 615 0$aCore competencies. 615 0$aBusiness planning. 615 0$aStrategic planning. 615 7$aBusiness strategy. 615 7$aOperational research. 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xStrategic Planning. 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xOrganizational Behaviour. 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xOperations Research. 676 $a658.4012 701 $aSanchez$b Ron$0330828 701 $aHeene$b Aimé$0340482 801 0$bZJC 801 1$bZJC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785060603321 996 $aEnhancing competences for competitive advantage$93694198 997 $aUNINA
