The Competitive Advantage of Nations (Hardcover, 2nd Ed)

The author is an undoubted business guru. His books Competitive Strategy (1980) and Competitive Advantage (1985) are standard works. This book is, by any standards, a tour de force. Originally published in 1990, it looks at how organizations operate and compete in the widest context: internationally, globally and in relation to governments and nations. Based on research, as well as the author's experience and observation, it aims to be the definitive work on its broad topic. It is long and it takes some work to absorb the detail and extent of its material, but there are valuable insights to be had from one of the current leaders in such thinking. (Kirkus UK)

The Competitive Advantage of Nations is one of the most influential business and management books of all time. Michael Porter's research identified the fundamental determinants of national competitive advantage in an industry and how they work together to give international advantage. The findings are rich in implications for firms and governments and set the agenda for discussions of global competition. The book was an extraordinary achievement and had a profound effect upon management, policy-makers and academics worldwide. The core ideas of the book remain very relevant today and this new edition includes the original text in full with a new introduction by the author, which reviews the key themes and issues of the book in the light of subsequent developments. This book represents one of the very few must buys in business and management.
