Outline of Final Research Achievements

The general implication and conclusion of the project are three-fold. 1) Industry has its own time and space. A single universal theoretical framework to explain the dynamics of diverse industries does not exist. However, generalization and theorization are possible, as long as one aims at identification of appropriate combination of a variety of determinants and theoretical frameworks for each industry, by mobilizing an adequate periodization. 2) The “industry” is not a concept based on real entity, but an analytical category defined by the purpose of the analysis. Analysis of competitiveness requires systematic analysis of the nature of a given industry. 3) In many industries, the competitiveness and its key determinants changed at the end of 20th Century. The transformations in the global value chain were often attributable to it. However, even inclusive of such, there are many industries in which long-lasting competitive advantage of a specific region was observed.
