    What is Competitiveness?

    • Only business can create wealth• Nations compete to offer the most productive environment for business• The public and private sectors play different but interrelated roles in

    creating a productive economy

    • Competitiveness is the productivity with which a nation uses its human, capital, and natural resources.

    – Productivity sets the sustainable standard of living (wages, returns on capital, returns on natural resources)

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

    – Productivity in a national economy arises from a combination of domestic and foreign firms

    What Determines Competitiveness?

    Endowments

    • Endowments create a foundation for prosperity, but true prosperity is created by productivity in the use of endowments

    Conditions

    • Sophisticated and demanding local customers and needs

    – e.g., Strict quality, safety, and environmental standards

    – Consumer protection laws

    • Many things matter for competitiveness• Successful economic development is a process of successive upgrading, in which the

    business environment improves to enable increasingly sophisticated ways of competing

    • Local rules and incentives that encourage investment and productivity

    – e.g. salaries, incentives for capital investments, intellectual property protection, corporate governance standards

    • Open and vigorous local competition– Openness to foreign competition– Competition laws• Access to high quality business

    inputs– Human resources– Capital availability– Physical infrastructure– Administrative and information

    infrastructure (e.g., registration, permitting, transparency)

    – Scientific and technological infrastructure

    – Efficient access to natural endowments• Availability of suppliers and supporting

    industries

    Regions and Competitiveness

    • Economic performance varies significantly across sub-national regions (e.g., provinces, states, metropolitan areas)

    • Many essential levers of competitiveness reside at the regional level

    • Regions specialize in different sets of clusters

    • Cluster strength directly impacts regional performance

    Regions and Competitiveness

    • Economic performance varies significantly across sub-national regions (e.g., provinces, states, metropolitan areas)

    • Many essential levers of competitiveness reside at the regional level

    • Regions specialize in different sets of clusters

    • Cluster strength directly impacts regional performance

    • Each region needs its own distinctive competitiveness strategy and action agenda

    • Improving competitiveness requires effective policy collaborationbetween regions and the national government

    • Decentralization is important to foster regional specialization, internal competition, and greater government accountability

    • Effective decentralization requires clarity on roles and responsibilities, and sufficient administrative capacity at local and regional level

    Competitiveness and the Neighborhood

    • Opening trade and investment among neighbors

    – Expands the available market– A nation’s neighbors are its most natural trading and investment partners

    – The natural path of internationalization for local firms is the neighborhood

    – Open trade and investment make each country a more attractive location for investment

    • Economic coordination to drive improvements in the business environment– Capture synergies in policy and infrastructure

    – Gain greater clout in international negotiations

    • External agreements to help overcome domestic political and economic barriers to reform

    The Shifting Process of Economic Development

    Old Model

    • Government drives economic development through policy decisions

    New Model

    • Economic development is a collaborative process involving government at multiple levels, companies, teaching and research institutions, and private sector organizations

    – What unique value as a business location?– For what types of activities and clusters?– And what roles with neighbors, the region, and the broader

    world?

    Developing Unique Strengths Achieving and Maintaining Parity with Peers

    • What elements of the business environment can be unique strengths relative to peers/neighbors?

    • What existing and emerging clustersrepresent local strengths?

    • What weaknesses must be addressed to remove key constraints and achieve parity with peer countries?

    • Priorities and sequencing are necessity in economic development

    Universities’ Role in Competitiveness

    • Educate future managers, researchers, and employees

    • Transfer of technology and knowledge• Adapt global knowledge to local

    circumstances• Act as a launching pad for new

    companies and clusters• Create networks of alumni and other

    partners to enable collaboration• Collect and provide data on all aspects

    of the economy• Create new knowledge• Raise visibility and provide profile to the

    region and its economy

    • Generate specific data and analysis on competitiveness

    • Educate public and private leaders about competitiveness

    • Provide a platform for public-private action

    • Initiate and lead competitiveness efforts

    Business EnvironmentQuality

    • Competition in the global economy is increasingly knowledge-driven, putting universities at the very heart of the competitiveness agenda

    Universities and Cluster Development

    • Universities should identify and reach out to local clusters

    • Universities should focus on clusters where they have a material impact on cluster performance

    • Universities should consider specializing in areas in which the local economy has an established position

    • Universities should, alone or with others, get involved in upgrading the cluster-specific cluster environment

    – Conduct joint R&D programs with companies– Develop training programs with the cluster– Participate in the attraction of companies and research centers

    important for the development of the cluster
