Despite these shifts in the global economy, some industries have remained competitive even without relocating their operations overseas. Industries and Global Competition examines how and why the specificities of certain industries and firms determined their choice of location and competitiveness. This volume identifies the major drivers of this process and explains why some firms and industries moved to other parts of world while others did not. Relocation was not the sole determinant of the success or failure of firms and industries. Indeed some were able to reinvent themselves at their original location and build new competitive advantages. The path that each industry or firm took varied. This book argues that the specific characteristics of each industry defined the conditions of competitiveness and provide a wide range of cases as illustrations.   aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights aEnglish 7aEconomics, Finance, Business and Management2bicssc aEconomics aFinance athema EDItEUR::K Economics, Finance, Business and Management1 aBouwens, Bram4oth1 aDonzé, Pierre-Yves4edt1 aDonzé, Pierre-Yves4oth1 aKurosawa, Takafumi4edt1 aKurosawa, Takafumi4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/2872970zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication c92686d92686
