Industrial corporations are actively implementing digital technologies, which has an impact on the content of business models. The implementation of the platform approach is the main vector of strategic development of an industrial company. The platform approach changes the processes of industrial business modelling, which have an impact on competitiveness, and forms the leading positions of an industrial company in the market. Digital platforms are becoming the basis for the design of the technological chain, and business processes. The ecosystem nature of digital platforms contributes to the increase of business innovation activity. The functioning of the platforms is aimed at creating new values, implementing the concept of client-centricity, innovative development and the formation of competitive advantages. 36 technological platforms are used in Russia. The technological platform solves ecosystem tasks to ensure the functioning of the information and communication circuit of the digital ecosystem, which determines its strategic orientation.

While innovation matters for competitiveness, it may expose firms to survival risks. Using plant-product data for Chile and discrete-time hazard models, we show that innovating plants have a lower hazard of exit. However, risk has a strong impact on the innovation-exit relationship: only innovators that retain diversified sources of revenue or face lower market risk are less likely to die. Single-product innovators are at greater risk of exiting. Exposure to technical risk does not affect exit probabilities differentially. We provide tentative evidence that singleproduct innovators have higher profits, which helps to rationalize their innovation decision despite the increased risk of exit.

Today, as a result of the increasing role of automation in all areas of production, the quality of the manufactured product is improving, and its competitiveness is increasing in the national and world markets. In order to ensure the continuity of this advantage, it is urgent to increase the accuracy of operation of electrical devices installed in enterprises. This can be achieved by improving the method of selecting elements for automated electrical devices.

This study introduces the Composite Index of Systemic Competitiveness (CISC), a new framework to quantify national competitive potential by the examination of three interdependent pillars: governance efficiency, economic mass, and competitiveness drag. A focus on Saudi Arabia and Egypt from 2020 to 2023, this research examines how institutional performance, economic diversification strategies, and structural constraints affect development pathways in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). Cross-national, quantitative case study is the research design. The CISC combines internationally aggregated measurements of indicators from only 2020 to 2023 for Egypt and KSA from institutions such as the World Bank, IMF, and Transparency International, for example, economic resilience variables, governance norms, non-oil GDP growth, and measures to mitigate inequality. Sensitivity tests ensure index reliability through tests of robustness. As a limitation for the study, data used in the study is a 4 years data for both Egypt and KSA from 2020 to 2023. Saudi Arabia exhibits remarkable CISC developments, fueled by governance reform and economy diversification in line with Vision 2030, speeding up to SDG 8. Conversely, Egypt is hindered by budget constraints, institutional fragility, and persisting inequalities, restraining SDG 10 ambitions. The implications show that balance synergism among macroeconomic policy, institutional responsibility, and distributive policies are essential to unlock sustainable development. The CISC presents a revolutionary way of measuring systemic competitiveness in the form of direct ratio correlation with SDG standards. The instrument provides policymakers with a diagnostic tool that can help them determine reform priorities to reconcile economic growth and social cohesiveness and long-term sustainability. The CISC facilitates the realignment of efforts with systemic competitiveness drivers, allowing evidence-based policy-making for maximizing national development results and global economic positioning. Governments and institutions can utilize this framework to navigate structural risks while following inclusive growth agendas.

With the emergence of environmental sustainability and green business management, increasing demands have been made on businesses in the areas of environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR). Furthermore, the influence of ECSR on green capital investment, environmental performance, and business competitiveness has also been the subject of attention from enterprises. However, in previous studies, the mediating role of green information technology (IT) capital in the relationship between ECSR, environmental performance, and business competitiveness, has not been investigated by researchers. In order to bridge this gap in the ECSR literature, this study aims to examine the influence of ECSR on green IT capital, and the consequent effect of green IT capital on environmental performance and business competitiveness. Data were collected from 358 companies from the top 1000 manufacturers in Taiwan. The results confirmed that ECSR has significant positive effects on green IT human capital, green IT structural capital, and green IT relational capital. Green IT structural capital and green IT relational capital have positive effects on environmental performance and business competitiveness, and environmental performance has a positive effect on business competitiveness. In addition, green IT structural capital and green IT relational capital have partial mediating effects on ECSR, environmental performance, and business competitiveness. The implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

The limited number of countries that produce and export swallow’s nest means that Indonesia’s swallow’s nest market potential can still grow in the international market. This study analyzes the competitiveness of Indonesian swallow nest exports in the international market, focusing on the use of the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) method to assess Indonesia’s comparative advantage over other exporting countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. This study also analyzed the comparative advantage of Indonesian swallow’s nest in 4 main destination countries, namely China, Hongkong, Singapore, the United States, and Japan. The data used is secondary time series data from 2011-2021 with HS code (041000). The results of the study explain that the competitiveness of the comparative advantage of Indonesian swallow nests, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam has a strong comparative advantage in the international market. The competitiveness of Indonesia’s swallow’s nest comparative advantage in 4 destination countries, namely China, Hongkong, Singapore, and the United States has an RCA value of more than 1, which means that the 4 countries have a comparative advantage. Meanwhile, in Japan, Indonesian swallow nests have a weak comparative advantage or an RCA value of less than 1.

Purpose Academic knowledge work often presumes collaboration among interdependent individuals. However, this work also involves competitive pressures to perform and even outperform others. While knowledge hiding has not yet been extensively examined in the academic environment, this study aims to deepen the understanding of the personal (individual-level) and situational (job-related) factors that affect evasive knowledge hiding (EKH) within academia. Design/methodology/approach A field study was conducted on a nation-wide sample of 210 scholars from both public and private business schools in a European Union member state. A series of paired sample t-tests were followed by hierarchical regression analyses to test moderation using the PROCESS macro. Findings The results suggest that scholars hide more tacit than explicit knowledge. The findings also indicate a consistent pattern of positive and significant relationships between trait competitiveness and EKH. Furthermore, task interdependence and social support buffer the detrimental relationship between personal competitiveness and evasive hiding of explicit knowledge, but not tacit knowledge. Originality/value The research provides insights into several important antecedents of EKH that have not been previously examined. It contributes to research on knowledge transfer in academia by focusing on situations where colleagues respond to explicit requests by hiding knowledge. The moderating role of collaborative job design offers practical solutions on how to improve knowledge transfer between mistrusted and competitive scholars. The collaboration–competition framework is extended by introducing personal competitiveness and relational job design, and suggesting how to manage the cross-level tension of differing collaborative and competitive motivations within academia.

Regional competitiveness is considered a key factor of development. In this work, with the aim of analysing the main drivers of the competitiveness, a Regression Tree analysis has been performed for the Eurostat Regional Competitiveness Index (RCI) as response variable by taking the 74 basic indicators used in the 2019 RCI edition as explanatory variables. Being a non-parametric method, suitable for the analysis of large data sets via a recursive partitioning procedure, the Regression Tree allowed to identify (a) the 12 most influential indicators, out of the initial 74, for the overall 2019 RCI, and (b) a classification of the 268 European regions into 15 homogeneous groups. Interestingly, the groups are ranked by their predicted RCI values which correspond to the mean observed RCI values within the groups themselves. The almost perfect correlation between the Eurostat RCI and the predicted RCI within groups confirms the key role of the 12 selected indicators as determinants of the 2019 RCI. These evidences could help policy makers to address their strategies towards focused objectives in line with the specific needs of the territories, characterized by an intrinsic heterogeneity and complexity.

The objective of this paper is to determine the current state of scientific production regarding “competitiveness” in the international context through a bibliometric analysis. This study presents a review of 2293 documents published about competitiveness in the international context from the Scopus database (1983–2017). Two different processing software applications were used, Vosviewer and Scimat. Although very recent bibliometric analyses of the topic exist, the methodology applied in the search term is restricted due to the separate use of a single search combination “national competitiveness” or “international competitiveness”. For this work, three combinations of words with logical operators were used, TITLE-ABS-KEY (“international competitiveness”) OR (“national competitiveness”) OR (“export competitiveness”), thus managing to span the concept of competitiveness in the international context in a broader sense. Our results show that competitive research is in a period of high production. The most productive authors and journals are not the most cited on competitiveness. Only three countries stand out with the largest scientific production about this topic. The trend of the most recent research points to knowledge areas in environmental sciences. The most researched geographical areas in international competitiveness encompass the whole world and especially Southeast Asia.

Purpose This study aims to provide current and organised insights into past published studies on tourism destination competitiveness (TDC) in the past decade through systematic literature analysis. Design/methodology/approach A comprehensive review was performed by systematically gathering the literature published from 1983 to 2021 and coded according to categories such as author, year, article title, name of journal and TDC determinants. Findings The key findings of this review reveal that no universal set of items, attributes or indicators to measure the competitiveness of tourism destinations exists; the complexity and variability of many definitions and measuring elements from various perspectives portray the multi-faceted concept of competitiveness; and synergistic connection between the source of comparative and competitive advantages of TDC focusing on destination image, tourism experience and loyalty. Research limitations/implications Research works considered in the study are only from indexed and peer-reviewed journal publications. Originality/value The study findings reveal a lack of studies that address the relationship between destination image, tourism experience and loyalty within the TDC realm. Future studies should consider complementing the tourism supply and demand side to avoid a “strategic drift” of TDC concepts, perceptions and practices.
