Competitiveness at the firm level
"This is the level where real
competitive business Olympics is played and medals are won. It is also the
level where competitive strategies can be formulated, implemented and results
can be analysed in finite time. Naturally, this is the level, which is of
immense interest to many managers. Dynamics of competitiveness at this level is
quite well understood and documented in books and journals on strategy.
Indirect indicators can be found in annual rankings of business magazines such
as Fortune, Business Today, Business India or newspapers such as Business
Standard (BS1000, 1998).
Magazines like Asia Inc. use a more
comprehensive approach; Asia’s Top 50 most competitive firms are selected based
on a number of criteria. Awards such as Deming Prize, CII Quality Award can
also be considered as indirect indicators of competitiveness. Some of the
popular models for evaluation of quality, an important factor of
competitiveness, of a firm can be used to enhance competitiveness on specific factors
(Zairi, 1996):
• The Deming Prize (Japan)
• The Malcolm Balridge National
Quality Award (USA)
• The European Quality Award
The Competitiveness
Assets-Processes-Performance (APP) framework (Momaya, 1996, 1998) incorporates
best of elements of such frameworks and has been tested in several contexts.
