| description |
Globalization has increased competitive
pressures on firms. Together with rapid technological
change, it has altered the environment in which firms
operate. While globalization offers unprecedented
opportunities for firms to act successfully, it
simultaneously heightens the risks for firms lagging behind.
In an open and liberalized world, increasing firm
competitiveness has become a major challenge. This book
provides a thorough analysis of the competitiveness of firms
in the Middle East and North Africa Region (MENA). It is
organized into four parts which detail the different issues
related to firm competitiveness from global rules for
business, regional business environment, corporate
governance, and the key economic sectors of small/medium
size enterprises, and tourism. In addition, the book also
addresses key issues for the future of the region including
the real challenges facing firms' operations and
efficiency, the ability of MENA firms to compete in global
markets, the impact of small, and medium size enterprises on
the stimulation of growth, and the economic potential of the
tourism sector. |
