Read
the following passage carefully and answer question numbers from 37 to 42:
In terms of labour, for decades the
relatively low cost and high quality of Japanese workers conferred considerable
competitive advantage across numerous durable goods and consumer electronics
industries (eg. Machinery, automobiles, televisions, radios), then labour-based
advantages shifted to South Korea, then to Malaysia, Mexico and other nations.
Today, China appears to be capitalizing best on the basic of labour, Japanese
firms still remain competitive in markets for such durable goods, electronics
and other products, but the labour force is no longer sufficient for
competitive advantage over manufacturers in other industrializing nations. Such
shifting of labour-based advantage is clearly not limited to manufacturing
industries. Today a huge number of IT and service jobs are moving from Europe
and North America to India, Singapore and like countries with relatively
well-educated, low-cost workforces possessing technical skills. However, as
educational level and technical skills continue to rise in other countries, India,
Singapore and like nations enjoying labour-based competitive advantage today
are likely to find such advantage cannot be sustained through emergence of new
competitions.
In terms of capital, for centuries the
days of gold coin and later even paper money restricted financial flows.
Subsequently regional concentrations were formed where large banks, industries
and markets coalesced. But today capital flows internationally at rapid speed.
Global commerce no longer requires regional interactions among business
players. Regional capital concentrations in places such as New York, London and
Tokyo still persist of course, but the capital concentrated there is no longer
sufficient for competitive advantage over other capitalists distributed
worldwide, Only if an organization is able to combine, integrate and apply its
resources (eg. Land, labour, capital, IT) in an effective manner that is not
readily imitable by competitors can such as organization enjoy competitive
advantage sustainable overtime.
In a knowledge-based theory of the firm,
this idea is extended to view organizational knowledge as recourse with at
least the same level of power and importance as the traditional economic
inputs. An organization with superior knowledge can achieve competitive advantage
in markets that appreciate the application of such knowledge. Semiconductors,
genetic engineering, pharmaceuticals, software, military warfare, and like
knowledge-intensive competitive arenas provide both time-proven and current
examples. Consider semiconductors (e. g. computer chips), which are made
principles of sand and common metals, these ubiquitous and powerful electronics
devices are designed within common office building, using commercially
available tools, and fabricated within factories in many industrialized
nations. Hence land is not the key competitive recourse in the semiconductor
industry.
