The key arguments and debates about globalization have raised searching questions about the significance of national and regional borders for the competitive strategies of individuals, firms and industries. Global Competitiveness and Innovation seeks to address these issues by exploring four key topics: The status of economic agents in the emerging global economy; the limits of path dependence and the scope of agent action; the relationship between agents' decision-making and their environments; and agents' learning capacities in a world of information and knowledge creation.

In the post-liberalization period, India has slowly but steadily tried to foster innovation to improve competitive efficiency of Indian manufacturing and thus boost global competitiveness of the industrial sector. Foreign direct investment was looked upon as a major source of technology paradigm shift; in recent times, industrial firms have been investing overseas, even in countries to which they used to export, based on their technological capabilities. Firms in Indian manufacturing industries have also attempted to bring about technological upgrades through imports of design and drawings (disembodied technology) against lump sum, royalty and technical knowhow fees, and imports of capital machinery (embodied technology) where the technology is embodied in the capital good itself. This volume comprises empirical contributions on this emerging phenomenon, on a range of issues including the role of R&D; mergers, acquisitions and technological efforts; technological determinants of competitive advantages; the role of small and medium enterprises and regional patterns; technological efforts and global operations; and the role of industrial clusters in promoting innovation and competitiveness. This book was originally published as a special issue of Innovation and Development.

This book explores how companies combine technological innovation and competitive actions that create new opportunities for business growth in the international market. The complexity of designing today’s technology platforms requires profound knowledge in multiple areas. Technology development and commercialization as an ongoing competitive process involves enabling and inhibiting mechanisms, which govern the speed and acceleration of technological innovation. To compete more effectively, potential competitors are using coopetition and pooling their resources for shared gain in areas where they do not compete directly. Thus, a thorough examination of the current paradigms, theories, and frameworks is needed to increase our understanding of the technology-innovation-competitiveness linkages of business growth. This book brings together recent developments and methodological contributions within technological innovation, international competitiveness, and business growth that bridge the existing gaps and simultaneously advances the debate on this research topic.

Innovation continues to drive economic development and business competitiveness. In the past centuries, innovation has been focused around national and international business development. But in the twenty-first century, innovation is occurring in a global context, with the factors of innovation changing for success in global competitiveness. While many innovation theories abound, the real test of validity is an empirical success in using innovation to enter and succeed in global markets. While Japan was the principle success story for innovation and competitiveness in the second half of the twentieth century, Korea now has become the exemplar of global success. What strategies and factors have successful Korean firms implemented to achieve global stature? In 2012, Samsung became the largest electronics company in the world, dominating markets in memory semiconductors and displays and smart phones. Hyundai became the fifth largest automobile manufacturer in global markets. Posco had emerged from a national steel company into a global company. We review modern innovation theory and examine its practices in cases of successful Korean companies which have attained global stature. We will learn from the Korean experience in global competition, six important principles about the interaction between the economy and innovation: (1) a dynamic firm capability in both innovation and capital commitment, (2) an industrial economy-of-scale of innovative production capabilities (3) an industrial economy-of-speed in innovating new products, (4) a strong national research & development capability for advancing technology, (5) a strong national university system for developing educated human resources, and (6) a strong national infrastructure capability for fostering commercialization of new business. Also, we learn that in the global marketplace for any competitive nation, there is no such thing as a 'post-industrial economy'
