Competitiveness Analysis
From microLINKS Wiki
Competitiveness analysis can shed light into following questions:
- Given market opportunities, how can VC compete?
- Which opportunities identified will best help VC compete?
- How can competitiveness be sustained
Donors and implementers can use competitiveness analysis to identify priority opportunities and their constraints. Based on the end market competitiveness strategy and analysis of factors affecting the performance of the chain, the assessment team:
- prioritizes the opportunities,
- finds out what has kept these opportunities from being exploited, and finally
- locates the constraints to upgrading—both at the firm and chain level.
Analyzing Constraints: Who Will Drive Change?
- Identify which stakeholders in industry will benefit from investments in upgrading
- Identify stakeholders with incentives, skills, resources, and power in marketplace to help drive/make these investments
- Facilitate actions that buy-down private sector risk to upgrading
How can competitiveness be sustained?
It requires:
- A constructive business enabling environment
- Cooperation & coordination among stakeholders
- Constructive competition among firms
- Win-win relationships
- Shared vision
- Mutually reliant versus adversarial
- Access to learning and innovation
- Changed behavior
- Breadth and depth of benefits
