OECD Skills Outlook Global Launch - Skills and Global Value ChainsEduSkills OECD
Since the 1990s, the world has entered a new phase of globalisation. Information and communication technology, trade liberalisation and lower transport costs have enabled firms and countries to fragment the production process into global value chains (GVCs). Many products are now designed in one country and assembled in another country from parts manufactured in several countries. Thirty percent of the value of exports of OECD countries comes from abroad. In this new context, GVCs and skills are more closely interrelated than ever. Skills play a key role in determining countries’ comparative advantages in GVCs. A lot of the opportunities and challenges brought about by GVCs are being affected by countries’ skills.
The OECD Skills Outlook 2017 shows how countries can make the most of global value chains, socially and economically, by investing in the skills of their populations. Applying a “whole of government” approach is crucial. Countries need to develop a consistent set of skills-related policies such as education, employment protection legislation, and migration policies, in coordination with trade and innovation policies. This report presents new analyses based on the Survey of Adult Skills and the Trade in Value Added Database. It also explains what countries would need to do to specialise in technologically advanced industries.

Role of SMEs in regional innovation systems in RussiaStepan Zemtsov
Many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) show fast growing rates and play an important role in regional development. Fast-growing companies may contribute more than 50% to GDP growth (Europe INNOVA Gazelles Innovation Panel, 2008).
There is interdependence between innovative development of regions and emergence of fast growing SMEs (‘gazelles’). Developed regional innovation systems create a fertile environment for increasing the number of fast-growing companies. We assume that regional innovation performance (as a share of R&D personnel in employment, share R&D expenditures in gross regional product, etc.) may be a significant factor for gazelles’ concentration. There were no papers on Russian regional data before that could prove it.
The main object of the article is factors, which can determine the proportion of fast-growing manufacturing SMEs during post-crisis period (2009-2012) in Russian regions.
An econometric analysis demonstrates a strong correlation between the share of fast-growing SMEs in regions and indicators of regional innovation performance. Market potential also plays an important role. Results could be used for elaborating recommendations for implementation of industrial policy in Russia.

The photonics industry is going through a transformation due to the maturity of the technologies and the fact that the implementation of these mature technologies is economically viable. The industry is going through numerous acquisitions, and there are many companies raising capital (www.epic-assoc.com/funding/venture-finance – spreadsheets “List of investments in photonics” & “List of M&A in photonics”).
Yet the photonics industry is hard to navigate both because of the vast amount of companies (there are 5000 companies in Europe involved in Photonics but 86% of them are SMEs), and the intrinsic fact that there are no ‘photonics’ companies but rather companies that develop sensors, lasers, optics, fibres, photonic integrated circuits, …

IDC Manufacturing Insights Accelerating Business Change Through Next Generati...Anthony Robinson
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
IDC Manufacturing Insights recently conducted a worldwide study of over 375 enterprises, across multiple discrete manufacturing sectors covering 12 countries, on behalf of Infor. The survey showed that:
● Complexity is dramatically growing, with market, operational aspects, and IT the main business areas that will grow significantly in complexity over the next three years. To beat complexity, manufacturers will need to improve and speed up their decision-making capability.
● Ineffective or inadequate IT is emerging as the single most critical barrier to mastering complexity. Discrete manufacturers also recognize that their current ERP systems have a number of limitations or weaknesses that hamper their ability to improve decision making.
Other findings were that:
● Modernizing IT architectures and business applications used to support new, customer-driven operating models is a priority for companies across all industry segments. Manufacturers now have the opportunity to simplify IT architectures by leveraging the four IT forces of mobility, social technologies, big data analytics, and cloud computing. We believe that those companies that are currently investing aggressively in these four areas will soon enjoy the benefits of higher revenue growth, improved profitability, and customer-led innovation.
● New, enterprisewide "operational ERP" is needed as opposed to mere "financial ERP." Operational ERP will encapsulate the most critical operational processes — customer order management, manufacturing operations management, and supply chain execution — in a tight, integrated, and coordinated environment based on the four IT forces.
● Manufacturers may be in for a shock when it comes to managing this IT change. They will realize that past investments in traditional technologies are now rapidly becoming redundant.
Manufacturing sales rose 1.7% to $72.3 billion in April, mainly on higher sales in the petroleum and coal product (+3.7%), motor vehicle (+8.2%), and primary metal (+4.1%) as well as higher production of aerospace product and parts (+11.2%) industries. Meanwhile, wood product sales decreased the most (-6.0%).
Sales in constant dollars rose 0.9% in April, indicating that both prices and volume sold contributed to the gains in April. The Industrial Product Price Index rose 0.8% in April.

§ Dominant in services
– Retail, banking, communications
– Logistics

– Do we need to worry about checks and balances?
§ Chinese investments are a mixed story
– Big hopes are not paying off so far
§ Business/private sector is viewed as a source of growth
– Does the government know what to do about it?
