| Abstract: | A report is presented on a four-year, ten-nation study of the patterns of competitive success in leading trading countries. It concludes that companies achieve competitive advantage through acts of innovation. And their capacity and push to innovate is affected by four broad attributes of a nation: factor conditions, demand conditions, related and supporting industries, firm strategy, structure, and rivalry. These four attributes create the national environment in which companies are born and learn how to compete. Elements of international leadership are described. Factors influencing competitive advantage are integrated into a system. Policies governments and companies should pursue are presented. |
