| Tiivistelmä: | Several national characteristics that favour or discourage the use of three generic business-level strategies are identified. Special attention is paid to strategies described by Porter (1980, 1985). Drawing on previous research and theoretical arguments presented some specific hypotheses are generated about the effects of the national characteristics - demographic heterogeneity, per capita income, and skill level of nation's labour force - on the business-level strategies. Suggestions are made for measuring the national characteristics and business strategies. General guidelines for the design of empirical research on this topic are presented. The implications for theoretical development in international management are shown. |
