Branding: The Competitive Edge in a “Flattening World”
If you own or work in a mid-sized company, you know only too well what author Thomas Friedman is talking about in his book entitled “The World Is Flat.” You know the competitive landscape no longer has a horizon. You can no longer enjoy the “friendly competition” of similar-sized or like-minded firms competing with you regionally or nationally. In fact, many mid-sized companies dominated domestic markets simply because global competitors couldn’t get here. But technology has hit full stride. While five years ago, global competition may have seemed like a nagging fly that wouldn’t go away. Today, it is a reality.

How to Make a Start

Technology Transfer through Training Spillovers
HRD activities conducted by the MNEs have proven to be important for host developing countries since domestic firms are more likely to face training constraints due to market failure. MNE training is also important since it is most likely to bring in the advanced skills and technologies to which domestic firms otherwise have no access. One important channel through which this technology may transfer from MNEs to domestic firms is the so-called training spillovers.
HRD Policies to Promote Training and Spillovers
The above assessment of selected past empirical evidence suggests that firms, in spite of large productivity gains, underinvest in training due to market failures such as credit market constraints, lack of information and labour turnovers. The underinvestment is even more acute among small- and medium-sized domestic firms that tend to have higher productivity gains from training compared to MNEs or large domestic firms. It has also shown that MNEs have numerous channels to improve HRD in host developing countries by training their own workers and facilitating training spillovers. This calls for policy measures to tackle market failures in training and to stimulate training spillovers, especially among domestic small- and medium-sized firms.
