- F.M. Scherer, Harvard University and Princeton University, US,
<i>'Competitiveness is much discussed, but little understood. Scholarly empirical research on the topic is surprisingly rare. Understanding the connection between national culture, human resource management, industrial policy and the other dimensions of competitiveness requires an interdisciplinary perspective. Here at last is a good interdisciplinary collection of papers which provides significant insights into the determinants of national competitiveness within the modern global economy.'</i>
- Mark Casson, University of Reading, UK,

While considering a variety of more conventional dimensions of international competitiveness, the authors challenge many established tenets. A number of policy prescriptions are outlined as a result. Attention is also paid to some of the key distributive and infrastructural roles in enhancing international competitiveness including facilitating labour and capital mobility and providing efficient transport systems.
