Strategic management involves three key levels - corporate, business, and functional. At the corporate level, strategy determines the overall scope and goals of the organization. The business level focuses on how to compete successfully in particular markets. And the functional level deals with how different departments implement strategies. Effective strategic management requires alignment and coordination across all three levels.

Lecture 3 - Innovation dynamics and the evolution of industriesUNU.MERIT
This lecture discusses innovation dynamics and the evolution of industries. It covers several key points:
1) Technological change is shaped by the characteristics of the production process and involves multiple actors over time, including firms, universities, and other supporting institutions.
2) Industries typically follow a life cycle from radical innovation to increasing concentration as successful process innovations allow firms to grow.
3) Research has found heterogeneity among firms in terms of size, growth, productivity, and innovativeness that persists over long periods within narrowly defined industries. A small number of firms are responsible for many innovations.
4) The rate of technical change, market structure, and organization of innovative activity differ across sectors. Some have stable structures while

The Productivity Puzzle: Insights from the Dynamic Capabilities FrameworkDavid Teece
This document discusses the productivity puzzle and proposes that a lack of strong dynamic capabilities in firms and ecosystems is a contributing factor.
It begins by defining productivity, competitive advantage, and the productivity puzzle. It then contrasts ordinary capabilities focused on efficiency with dynamic capabilities focused on innovation, sensing opportunities, and transforming.
The document argues that dynamic capabilities are more important for competitive advantage and productivity growth in knowledge-intensive industries. It also discusses how clustering and regional innovation ecosystems can foster dynamic capabilities and knowledge spillovers.
The conclusion is that focusing only on neoclassical views of productivity is too narrow and that entrepreneurship, dynamic capabilities in firms, and supportive ecosystems and governance need to be central to understanding and addressing the

Overview
International strategy
Demand develops in other countries
Secure needed resources
An international strategy is a strategy through which the firm sells its goods or services outside its domestic market. One of the primary reasons for implementing an international strategy is that international markets yield potential new opportunities.
Typically, a firm discovers an innovation in its home-country market, especially in an advanced economy such as that of the United States. Often demand for the product then develops in other countries, and exports are provided by domestic operations. Increased demand in foreign countries justifies making investments in foreign operations, especially to fend off foreign competitors.
Another traditional motive for firms to become multinational is to secure needed resources. Key supplies of raw material, especially minerals and energy, are important in some industries. Other industries, such as clothing, electronics, watch making, and many others, have moved portions of their operations to foreign locations in pursuit of lower production costs.
Please go to the next slide.
Overview, continued
Increased market size
Return on investment
Economies of scale and learning
Location advantages
When international strategies are successful, firms can derive four basic benefits:
Increased market size;
Greater returns on major capital investments or on investments in new products and processes;
Greater economies of scale, scope, or learning; and
A competitive advantage through location.
Firms can expand the size of their potential market by moving into international markets.
The primary reason for investing in inter.
