Productivity and the Microeconomic Business Environment

What is Competitiveness?• Competitiveness is determined by the productivity with w

hich a nation uses its human, capital, and natural resources. Productivity sets a nation’s or region’s standard of living (wages, returns to capital, returns to natural resource endowments)– Productivity depends both on the value of products and services (e

.g. uniqueness, quality) as well as the efficiency with which they are produced

– It is not what industries a nation competes in that matters for prosperity, but how firms compete in those industries

– Productivity in a nation is a reflection of what both domestic and foreign firms choose to do in that location. The location of ownership is secondary for national prosperity

– The productivity of “local” industries is of fundamental importance to competitiveness, not just that of traded industries

– Devaluation does not make a country more competitive

Michael E. Porter

Erecting barriers (isolating mechanisms) create exploit economies of scale, aggressive deterrence, design in switching costs, etc.

Compete on nonprice dimensions: cost leadership, differentiation, cooperation, etc.

Improve attractiveness compared to substitutes: better service, more features, etc..

Reduce buyer uniqueness: forward integrate, differentiate product, new customers, etc..

Reduce supplier uniqueness: backward integrate, obtain minority position, second source, etc..
