What Determines Success of Competitiveness Organizations?

• Co-led by or heavily involving the private sector with the participation of all actors. Representation from the national government as well as the state level

• Direct involvement by the President to build consensus and integration into the process of government

• Institutionalized in a formal structure, with a world-class secretariat

• Common conceptual framework

• Focus on the microeconomic aspects of competitiveness, not just macro

• Develop a strategy, not just discrete policy improvements

• Prioritized and sequenced action plan

• A clear mandate to measure and report progress and create accountabilityfor implementing entities

What is Competitiveness?

• Competitiveness is the long-run productivity of a location as a place to do business

- Productivity of existing firms and workers- Ability to achieve high participation of working age citizens in the

workforce

• Competitiveness is not:- Low wages- A weak currency- Jobs per se

A country or region is competitive to the extent that firms operating there are able to compete successfully in the global economy while supporting high and rising wages and living standards for the average citizen

Two Sources of Prosperity

Inherited Prosperity

• Prosperity derived from inherited natural resources / endowments– Prosperity is limited

• Dividing the pie• Government usually the central actor

in the economy• Revenue from resources allows

unproductive policies and practices to persist and encouragescorruption

Created Prosperity

• Prosperity arising from productivityin producing goods and services– Prosperity is unlimited

• Expanding the pie• Companies are the central actors in

the economy• Government’s role is to create the

enabling conditions for productivity and foster private sector development

Clusters as a Tool For Economic Policy

• A forum for collaboration between the private sector, trade associations, government, educational, and research institutions

• Brings together firms of all sizes, including SME’s

• Creates a mechanism for constructive business-government dialog

• A tool to identify problems and action recommendations

• A vehicle for investments that strengthen multiple firms/institutionssimultaneously

• Fosters greater competition rather than distorting the market

• Enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of traditional economic policy areas, such as training, R&D, export promotion, FDI attraction, etc.

• Sound cluster policy addresses all clusters, and does not pick winners

Improving CompetitivenessThemes

• Many things matter for competitiveness

• Progress must be made simultaneously on multiple fronts

• The weakest links will constrain productivity and retard development

• Foreign investment will depend on the relationship between competitiveness and prevailing wages and taxes

• As economies develop, they face transition points that require many dimensions of competition to be transformed

Competitiveness and Integration with Neighboring CountriesNigeria’s Neighborhood

• Economic coordination among neighboring countries can significantly enhance competitiveness• Integration offers greater opportunities than participation in broader economic forums

Regional Economic Integration and Competitiveness

• Integration opens trade and investment among neighbors

– Expands the available market for each country

A nation’s neighbors are often its most natural trading and investment partners, especially in non-resource goods and services

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

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

• Integration drives improvements in the business environment– Captures synergies in policy and infrastructure

• Integration harnesses improvements in clusters that cross borders

• Integration creates greater clout in international negotiations

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

National Value Proposition

Creating a National (or Regional) Economic Strategy

• What is the distinctive competitive position of the nation or region given its location, legacy, existing strengths, and potential strengths?– What unique strengths as a business location?– What roles in the broader neighborhood?– What types of activities and clusters?

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 clusters can be built upon?

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

• Priorities and sequencing are essential to building competitiveness

Page 69: Building a Competitive Nigeria: The Role of the National ... Files/20130321 - Presentation to... · Further information on Professor Porter’s work and the Institute for Strategy

20130321—National Competitiveness Council of Nigeria Presentation—FINAL Copyright 2013 © Professor Michael E. Porter69

Tests of an Economic Strategy

• Has the country or region articulated a distinctive position?– That will create a positive identity?

– That will inspire citizens?

• Does the strategy build on existing or potential strengths?– Are the strengths realistic versus neighbors and other peer countries?

• Does the strategy fit with trends in the neighborhood and the world economy?

• Is the strategy realistic given the country’s or region’s weaknesses? Can weaknesses that retard the strategy be neutralized?

• Are social and political reforms integrated with economic reforms and pursued simultaneously?

• Do the policy priorities fit the strategy?– The choice of policies, and their design?

– The sequence in which policies are implemented?

Tests of an Economic StrategyContinued

• Is there the political will and the political consensus to implement the strategy?

• Has the strategy been communicated clearly to all stakeholders?

• Is the private sector engaged?

• Is government organized around the strategy?

• Is there an overall coordinating structure for economic development?

• Is the quality of governmental agencies and other institutions sufficient for effective implementation?

• Are there mechanisms to measure progress and review / modify the strategy as prosperity improves or conditions change?

Old Model

• Government drives economic development through top down policy decisions and incentives

New Model

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

• Competitiveness is the result of both top-down and bottom-up processes in which many companies and institutions take responsibility

• Translating policy into action is decisive in determining success

Government and the Process of Economic Development

• Competitiveness is affected by numerous government entities and levels of government– Multiple agencies and departments (e.g. finance, trade, science and

technology, commerce, regional policy, energy, agriculture) have an influence on competitiveness

– “Economic” agencies and “social” agencies– Multiple levels of government (nations, states, cities, etc.)– Intergovernmental relations with neighboring countries

• Competitiveness is rarely the sole agenda of a single government agency

• A coordinating structure is needed (e.g. “competitiveness policy council”) that brings together the ministers and department heads necessary to formulate and implement an economic strategy

• Competitiveness improvement requires sustained efforts across multiple years and presidential administrations– Mechanisms are needed to improve the continuity of policy over time

Failure of Traditional Economic Development Organizations

PUBLIC SECTOR PRIVATE SECTOR

General Cluster-Specific• Separate ministries with overlapping mandates• Competition for power and issue ownership• Ministries divided for political reasons which

introduces ideology and single issue focus• Organizations focus on a single geographic

level (e.g., nation, state, or city)• Lack of coordination and integration across

different parts of government

• Rarely strategic but focus on discrete policy areas

• Rarely prioritized and sequenced• No clear mechanisms and accountability for

implementation

• Chambers of Commerce

• Trade Associations

• Traditional focus on lobbying for government support rather than enhancing competitiveness

• Limited effects on areas such as skills, infrastructure, exports, environmental improvement and quality certification where collective action most value enhancing

• Poorly connected to the government policy formulation process

New organizational structures for competitiveness are needed
