Indian Scenario

Manufacturing has been an engine of growth in India in the seventies and eighties. After the 1991 reforms the engine appears to be slowing. This paper attempts to examine the reality behind the increased productivity by applying methods that measure productivity per factor and returns to scale. The analysis reveals that manufacturing output growth in post reform period is ‘input-driven’ rather than efficiency driven. The growth in manufacturing sector is dependent on the investment climate. The structural reforms since 1990s have made some progress. Despite recent setbacks, it is universally acknowledged that the reforms process in India cannot be reversed and sooner or later these reforms will be implemented. However, the long term competitive ability of Indian firms would depend on production efficiency. Production efficiency, in turn, is dependent on ability to develop, import and adapt new technologies among other factors. Hence, for achieving the efficiency the theories have been critically examined from Indian scenario and some measures have suggested in this paper.

AbstractThe chemical manufacturing sector is one of the supporters of the domestic economy which contributes to the value of domestic exports of 6.41% of total exports. However, in the last 3 years there was a significant decrease in production volume which caused the growth of the chemical industry sector to only reach 3.48%, this value is still below the national economic growth. This shows the importance of competitive advantage in facing global competition. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the indicators that influence competitive advantage viewed from the perspective of human resources by using managerial functions on sustainable organizational performance by using environmental, social and economic dimensions. The study was conducted in the chemical manufacturing industry sector in Banten Province of 110 respondents with criteria as managerial level or decision making with a minimum working period of 2 years and using a purposive sampling method. The analytical method uses Smart PLS 3 against 4 indicators of competitive advantage and 28 indicators of organizational performance that is sustainable. The results of the outer model show that all indicators of competitive advantage can build latent variables, while of 28 indicators of sustainable organizational performance there are 3 indicators that have loading factors below 0.70, so that only 25 indicators are able to build latent variables. The inner model results show that the model built has good goodness of fit, while the results of the hypothesis test show a significant influence between the variables of competitive advantage on sustainable organizational performance with a magnitude of influence of 50.3%.Keywords: Managerial function, Competitive Advantage, Sustainable Organizational                        Performance.

Patent Portfolios

Patents play an important role for companies to achieve competitive advantage. There is an increased recognition of the importance of patent portfolios as a key to achieve competitive advantage as opposed to any one patent. Hence, some researchers suggest that the true values of patents lie in the aggregation of some related patents rather than their individual worth. In addition, as firms increase their technological diversification so too do their patent portfolios. On the basis of portfolio theory, we build a typology of four types of patent portfolios characterized on the dimensions of technology coherence and synergistic economic value: black, cloud, star and constellation portfolios. Then, according to the characteristics of each type of portfolio, we propose that different strategic approaches should be applied to manage them to achieve superior performance. Further, we suggest that different types of patent portfolios have different effects on firms’ long-term and short-term performances in dynamic environments. Our paper enriches our understanding of the role that patent portfolios play to achieve superior firm performance by linking the management of firm-level resources to value creation in uncertain environments; and also provides important insights into future trends in the patent portfolios strategy in dynamic environments.

Knowledge spillover, as a form of technology transfer from foreign direct investment (FDI), has frequently been investigated in the contexts of various countries. This study aims to examine whether the availability of labour working for foreign companies could trigger improved productivity of the companies’ domestic workers. It also aims to investigate the horizontal and vertical spillovers that might occur, formally or less formally, and to discover whether specialization and industrial competition play a role in facilitating knowledge spillover in Indonesia’s manufacturing industry. What differentiates this study from previous similar studies is our investigation of whether or not the business orientation and intensity factors of domestic companies could be catalysts for knowledge spillover. To examine this, we use firm-level data and econometrics modelling to test our hypotheses. An important finding of this study is that the export orientation of domestic companies is a critical factor in promoting knowledge spillover.

Industrial Regions

The Russian manufacturing sector is concentrated in regions considered as potential centres of technological development, productivity growth and long-term export opportunities. Realization of this potential requires the timely implementation of effective support measures. Using relevant statistics, the study aims to analyse how budget subsidies affect the dynamic and structural aspects of the development of Russian industrial regions. The research methodology is based on assessing the total budgetary cost of government support and correlating it with regional industrial indicators. To this end, data from the Treasury of Russia, statistical indicators, industry databases and target indicators were examined. The study revealed that government subsidies not always positively affect the industry target parameters, even distorting market mechanisms. In general, the implementation of state programmes in Russia has led to an increase in export volumes, costs for innovative activities and labour productivity with stable employment in industry. However, in industrial regions, an increase in the share of the manufacturing sector does not cause an increase in economic growth. In addition, fixed capital investment in the manufacturing sector is lower in these regions. A sharp increase in the number of high performance employees due to the implementation of support measures was observed in Russia and individual industrial regions. In terms of innovative activity, the number of patent applications in industrial regions is significantly lower than the national average. The efficiency of industry support measures in the Russian Federation can be re-evaluated based on the obtained results. Future research will focus on further detailing the budgetary cost of government support and assessing its long-term results.
