Branding: The Competitive Edge in a “Flattening World”
| |

| |
| 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

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. |
