Compe&&ve(Advantage(of(Na&ons((

•  Competitive strategy speaks about being different, deliberately choosing a different set of activities to deliver unique value

•  Operational Effectiveness + Strategy = Superior Performance(VRIO)

•  Competitive advantage is about lowering cost, enhancing differentiation and changing the competitive landscape

•  National competitive advantage doesn’t grow out a country’s national endowments: labor pool, interest rates, currency value

•  It grows through industry innovation: domestic rivals, home based suppliers, demanding local customers
