Cover Productivity and the Pandemic
Productivity and the Pandemic
Challenges and Insights from Covid-19
Editors:
Philip McCann
and
Tim Vorley
This forward-thinking book examines the potential impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on productivity. Productivity and the Pandemic features 21 chapters authored by 46 experts, examining different aspects of how the pandemic is likely to impact on the economy, society and governance in the medium- and long-term. Drawing on a range of empirical evidence, analytical arguments and new conceptual insights, the book challenges our thinking on many dimensions. With a keen focus on place, firms, production factors and institutions, the chapters highlight how the pre-existing challenges to productivity have been variously exacerbated and mitigated by the pandemic and points out ways forward for appropriate policy thinking in response to the crisis.

What is the contribution of systemic and country specific factors? What is the role of internal firm factors in enabling these companies to become market leaders?

Cover The Evolution of the World Economy
The Evolution of the World Economy
The ‘Flying-Geese’ Theory of Multinational Corporations and Structural Transformation
Terutomo Ozawa
The world economy is near a critical crossroads, as a rising China, the greatest-ever beneficiary of US-led capitalism, ironically dreams big to replace America's supremacy as a new hegemonic power with a non-liberal world order. This third volume of the trilogy on ‘flying-geese’ theory reformulation explains how capitalism has changed industrial structures across the world. Using structural development economics and political economy analytics the unfolding changes in the global industrial landscape are examined in depth. Will the ‘flying-geese’ formation survive the formation that has produced the East Asian miracle and is hoped to spread to Africa?

Governance, Regulation and Innovation
Theory and Evidence from Firms and Nations
Editor:
Mehmet Ugur
This book aims to disentangle the complex relationship between innovation and its potential determinants, paying special attention to the roles of governance and regulatory frameworks, and the ways in which the latter interact with other drivers of innovation such as competition and the innovator’s closeness to the technology frontier.

Cover The Competitive Dynamics of Entrepreneurial Market Entry
The Competitive Dynamics of Entrepreneurial Market Entry
Editors:
Gideon D. Markman
and
Phillip H. Phan
Research on general market entry usually focuses on large enterprises. Often, however, small entrants can alter the competitive dynamics of an industry. This volume brings together the most prominent thought leaders and the best research on the asymmetric entrant-incumbent dynamics. The ideas presented offer a more nuanced perspective on how, when, where and with what consequences small, single-product firms enter markets that are dominated by large, multiproduct and multimarket incumbents.

Cover The Automotive Industry in an Era of Eco-Austerity
The Automotive Industry in an Era of Eco-Austerity
Creating an Industry as if the Planet Mattered
Peter E. Wells
This unique book seeks to combine economic analysis with the environmental research to arrive at a comprehensive understanding of the forces that shape change in the automotive industry. It eschews the usual focus on technologies, and gives more attention to the impact of change on the business models and strategies adopted by the vehicle manufacturers, the scope for new entrants, and the implications for policy-makers. This richly textured book concludes that the achievement of a sustainable automotive industry will not be possible with ‘one best way’, but that myriad technologies and business concepts, grounded in the distinct needs of different places and consumers, will be the basis of the future of mobility.

SMEs in a Globalised World
Survival and Growth Strategies on Europe’s Geographical Periphery
Editors:
Helena Lenihan
,
Bernadette Andreosso-O’Callaghan
, and
Mark Hart
This insightful book shows how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from some of the traditionally less dynamic peripheral economies of the ‘old’ EU – namely Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain – have responded to the twin challenges of globalisation and industrial restructuring. Through a series of unique case studies the contributing authors discuss how these economies, and in particular the SME sector, can be transformed.
