浅谈企业核心竞争力

企业的核心竞争力是企业获得长期稳定的竞争优势的来源和基础,是企业在经营过程中形成的不易被竞争对手效仿的、能带来超额利润的独特能力.企业要想提高核心竞争力,就要具有自己独特优势的技术、机制或文化所决定的巨大的资本能量和经营实力.     

边境区域核心竞争力的区位因素及其优化——以吉林省延边地区为例

边境区域核心竞争力是区域经济竞争的优势表现,是自己区域所特有的,它在短时期内是不能被其他区域超越、模仿、学习的一种素质和能力。区位因素所形成的核心竞争力也是最不易重复,最具特色的竞争力,每个城市都应具有自己的核心竞争力,并且能以其区域竞争优势获得更大的生存和发展空间。文章以延边为例,重点分析它所处的特殊地理位置所享有的自然资源、经济区位和政治区位,认为只有通过各种有效的开发、组织、利用,才能在社会经济的发展中转化为具有竞争力的现实优势。     

房地产开发企业核心竞争力要素分析

核心竞争力是指企业在整个生产经营管理过程中形成的具有独特思想文化内涵和企业独特经营模式的竞争能力,是区别而又优于其他企业的核心机制与竞争机制,具有不可复制性和不可模仿性。房地产企业核心竞争力内容主要包括企业文化内涵、企业战略内涵、企业品牌内涵、企业客户资源内涵以及服务优势、竞争优势、品牌优势和创新优势等八个要素。而不同的外部环境影响因素与企业内部要素特征的特殊性决定核心竞争力体系结构的差异性。本文从房地产企业的核心竞争力的内涵、构成要素以及如何提高房地产企业核心竞争力等方面探析房地产企业的核心竞争力要素及其在市场竞争过程中的作用。     

核心竞争力是企业发展的"核动力"

一、核心竞争力是企业持续发展的必要条件企业的持续发展依赖于竞争优势,而企业保持持续竞争优势的源泉是核心竞争力。核心竞争力是指某一组织内部一系列互补的技能和知识的结合,它具有使一项或多项业务达到竞争领域一流水平、具有明显优势的能力,简单地说,就是企业在经营过程中形成的不易被竞争对手效仿的能带来超额利润的独特能力。核心竞争力实际上是企业获得长期稳定的竞争优势的基础,是将技能、资产和运作机制有机融合的组织能力,是企业推行内部管理性战略和外部交易性战略的结果。核心竞争力是企业长久发展的动力之源。根据《财富》杂…     

企业战略实施中竞争优势构建的解读

在企业竞争激烈的环境下,企业的竞争优势是企业的核心能力,企业竞争优势是一个系统的工程,它具有持久性、动态性、开放性和系统性的主要特征.它参与到了企业战略实现中的决策、执行、管理、文化、人才以及营销等过程,促使企业之间由静态竞争转为动态竞争.企业战略实施中,竞争优势的构建形成了企业管理的最基础模式,企业的资源战略、人才战略、营销战略、管理战略、组织战略、文化战略以及知识战略都能得到相应的发展.促使企业通过管理资源的全面优化获得企业的持续竞争力和核心竞争力.本文通过对竞争优势动态发展分析以及超级竞争和竞争优势的比较分析,对企业战略实施中的竞争优势构建提出了创新思考.     

提升企业核心竞争力 努力扩大市场份额

随着全球经济一体化进程的加快，企业面对的将是整个国际市场，任何企业要想在这种竞争十分激烈的市场环境中生存和发展，关键的问题是企业要形成自己的核心竞争力，抢占市场，扩大份额，形成经济规模，提高经济效益。所谓的核心竞争力，是指企业独有的可以支撑企业竞争优势的能力，它主要是指企业在生产、管理、技术、服务以及营销等关键环节所具有的明显优势，这种优势使竞争对手难以模仿，它是能满足市场需求的独特能力。因此，必须大力培育和提升企业的核心竞争力。     

中小企业核心竞争力的构建和提升

1990年,著名的管理学家普拉哈拉德和哈默等二人所著的企业核心竞争力一书中首先提出了企业的核心竞争力的概念.核心竞争力是指某一组织内部一系列互补的技能和知识的结合,它具有使一项或多项业务达到竞争领域水平、具有明显优势的能力.简单的说,就是企业在经营过程中形成的不易被竞争对手效仿的能带来超额利润的独特的能力.中小企业无论在资金、规模、人力上都不具有优势,因此,要想在诸多大中型企业夹缝中生存发展的话,中小企业必须具有别人无法比拟的、独特的核心竞争能力.     

发挥你的核心竞争力

企业的核心竞争力,是指企业开发独特产品、发展独特技术和创造独特营销手段的能力。它以企业的技术能力为核心,通过企业战略决策、生产制造、市场营销、内部组织协调管理的交互作用而使获得使企业保持持续竞争优势的能力,是企业在其发展过程中建立与发展起来的一种资产与知识的互补体系。纵观世界上的优秀企业,无一不是具有独特的核心竞争力的企业,如优良的制造手段、卓越的质量控制方法,不断开发新产品的创造力,独特的市场开拓能力等。核心竞争力是企业的战略性资产,是企业持续发展的优势所在。但构成企业核心竞争力的核心产品、核心技术和核心营销手段等能力,并不是在朝夕之间就能形成的,因此企业在发展中应注意打造内功,着力培育自己的核心竞争力。     

提升县域竞争力 推动发展新跨越

县域经济竞争力是指一个县域经济相对于同类区域对资源优化配置的能力,它包括比较优势、潜在优势、资源优势、市场优势、区位优势、环境优势,等等.有了竞争力,县域经济发展才能充满生机和活力.如何提高县域经济竞争力?从江苏通州的实际来看,我们认为,关键是着力提升以下六大竞争力,加速构建新一轮跨越发展的战略支点.     

实施产业集群战略给区域经济带来的风险及对策研究

产业集群是把产业发展与区域经济,通过分工专业化与交易的便利性有效地结合形成的一种生产组织方式。产业集群加速了区域经济一体化进程,区域之间的竞争形态由于产业集群的出现也发生了变化,更多呈现出整体性竞争的形态。在区域经济发展中实施产业集群战略,是提高区域经济竞争力的有效途径。但我们应注意到:一方面发展产业集群有利于区域经济获取竞争优势,另一方面产业集群形成和发展过程中存在风险。在阐述产业集群对我国区域经济获取竞争优势的双重影响的基础上,提出了规避区域经济中产业集群发展风险的战略举措。

Income inequality in corporatist and liberal economies: a comparison of trends within OECD countries

This paper examines trends in income distribution since the war in a number of OECD economies. It is shown that while most economies during the first two decades experienced decreasing income inequality, associated with the post-war boom, there has been considerable divergence thereafter. In this process the institutions of each country have mattered a great deal. By examining both liberal and corporatist economies we seek to delineate the links between economic performance and restructuring, and income inequality. The evidence is that, in contrast to the experience of liberal economies, the more corporatist economies have been able to adjust to the worsening economic climate without an increase in income inequality.     

Estimation of scale and scope economies in multiproduct banking: evidence from the Fourier flexible functional form with panel data

An empirical study is conducted on scale and scope economies for Taiwan's banking industry with panel data using a Fourier flexible cost function developed by Gallant and a translog cost function, both of which take economic efficiency into account. It is found that the Fourier form is more appropriate than the traditional translog form in fitting the data, and that various efficiency measures computed using the Fourier function are compatible with each other, while those computed using the translog function are not. The Fourier evidence shows that sample banks continue to enjoy economies of scale, and exhibit scope diseconomies, which indicates that greater product diversification can reduce banking costs through product-mix economies. Banks may benefit from further diversifying their line of financial services.     

The Right to Organize in the Philippine Business Process Outsourcing Industry

Abstract

There has been some concern over the past few years that nations with emerging economies are sacrificing human dignity over economic progress. An emerging market such as the Philippines has to deal with a host of economic, social, and political issues as its economy develops. One of the issues that concern those who are involved in human rights advocacy is labor rights. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the labor rights issues surrounding the Philippine business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, specifically the right to organize. It also aims to investigate how the changing structure of the Philippine economy has affected the labor rights of its people. This paper will use the BPO industry in the Philippines as a case study. This paper will also try to compare the Philippine experience with those of other countries in order to put its findings in context. Finally, the paper shall examine the effects of globalization on workers’ ability to organize and advocate for their rights.     

Unfinished Business

Abstract This article is about three phases in Australian trade policy: protectionism, unilateral liberalisation, and participation in regional trade liberalisation. Australia used to have one of the most protected economies in the world. The last dozen years have seen a radical transformation of Australian economic policy: Australia is in the process of becoming one of the most open economies in the world. The last five-to-ten years have also seen a related transformation of Australian foreign economic policy. This policy is now centrally concerned with promoting the process of international economic integration within the Asian region; particularly through the APEC process. Should Australia be pursuing ‘open regionalism’ in the Pacific? or promoting an Asia Pacific trading bloc? or concentrating on its own unilateral trade liberalisation? or using its energy to press for global liberalisation through the GATT? I argue that there remains a deep contradiction in the APEC process; that ‘open regionalism’ is in Australia's interests, and that the critical test of Australia's conversion to liberalisation will come in this third phase, in the future answers that it gives to these questions.     

Urban design and energy utilization: A comparative analysis of soviet practice

The consumption of energy by urban populations depends in part upon the efficiency of the process used to provide residential, commercial, and industrial heat. This paper explores the systemic determinants of the adoption of district heating and co-generation, evaluates the extent of resulting energy savings, and appraises USSR practice. Differences between economic systems in the specification of property rights cause differences in both transaction costs and the treatment of externalities and partially explain the greater utilization of district heating and co-generation in planned economies. Institutional changes required in market economies to adopt this urban-design strategy are suggested.     

Examining asymmetries in the transmission of monetary policy in the euro area: Evidence from a mixed cross-section global VAR model

I estimate the transmission of a common euro area monetary policy shock across individual euro area economies. To do so, I develop a global VAR model in which all euro area economies are included individually while, at the same time, their common monetary policy is modelled as a function of euro area aggregate output growth and inflation. The results suggest that the transmission of monetary policy across euro area economies displays asymmetries, and that, in line with economic theory, these are driven by differences in economies׳ structural characteristics. In particular, euro area economies in which a higher share of aggregate output is accounted for by sectors servicing interest rate sensitive demand exhibit a stronger transmission of monetary policy to real activity. Similarly, even though the evidence is less conclusive, euro area economies which feature more real wage and/or fewer unemployment rigidities also appear to display a stronger transmission of monetary policy to real activity.     

Restructuring of the Hungarian Electricity Industry

Restructuring the monopolistic, state-owned, obsolete and polluting utility industries of post-socialist economies poses a challenge for the utility deregulation wave travelling around the world. Utility restructuring in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region is unique from several perspectives, including the domination of foreign capital vs. national resources as the only feasible vehicle for a drastic change in the industry and the ambitious goals of harmonisation with the EU liberalisation schedule to accelerate accession. It is also widely expected that deregulation will help bring down world-record high energy intensities in these economies. Hungary has been the pioneer among economies in transition in unbundling, deregulating and privatising the utility industries and taking the first steps towards EU-conforming market liberalisation within less than half a decade. The first stages of privatisation and restructuring have been declared a success story in the Western media. However, what is a success story from a foreign perspective may be seen differently from other viewpoints. The article describes the process of utility restructuring in Hungary and examines its impact from the economic, environmental and policy perspectives. The article also compares the pioneer Hungarian deregulation with other CEE countries' restructuring of their energy sectors. However, the lessons to be learned from the Hungarian electricity industry restructuring are not only vital for other economies in transition but are often universally applicable.
