This important book focuses on the impact of home countries on the
international competitiveness of transnational corporations (TNCs).
It seeks to explain the geographic concentration of the most
internationally competitive TNCs in a single or very few countries,
and their uneven performance at these concentration points. The
theoretical framework for this analysis is based on a link between
the location advantages of countries and the ownership advantages
of firms. The book focuses on professional service TNCs as the
competitive advantages of these firms are based entirely on
intangible, often mobile assets, and they thus provide a striking
illustration for the ways in which such assets shape the
competitiveness of firms. Analyses of TNCs in several professional
service industries based in various countries reveal the dynamic
balance between the home and the foreign countries in which the
TNCs operate, as well as the combination of country- and
firm-specific attributes in shaping the competitiveness of TNCs and
the subsequent patterns of global competition. The Origins of the
International Competitiveness of Firms extends our knowledge of the
determinants of the international competitiveness of TNCs, and will
be of interest to scholars and students of international business
and business strategy, and to those working in the fields of
international competition, trade and investment.
