Description: Locating Global Advantage by Martin Kenney, Richard Florida Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description What are the forces that are driving firms and industries to globalize their operations? This volume explores how specific industries have organized their global operations through case studies of seven manufacturing industries including: garments and textiles, televisions and personal computers. Publisher Description The book examines globalization within the context of five factors affecting locational decisions: advances in transportation and communication; the clustering of knowledge assets; the drive to reduce cycle times, the commodification of existing products; and the relative advantages of proximity to customers. The case studies are framed by Paul Deguids preface on the significance of power in value chains and Bruce Koguts conclusion on the importance of knowledge in locational decisions. Together, the chapters reveal a remarkable diversity of responses across industries to these forces, and suggest that any understanding of globalization must appreciate this diversity.
