Описание: This book offers a cross-European analysis of urban and regional strategies of reconciling welfare and competitiveness. It develops an understanding of the strategy challenge to reconcile competitiveness with cohesion, and provides an analysis of cities and regions as actors in multi-level governance settings.
Research interest in the service sector has boomed in recent years as deindustrialisation became entrenched. Instead of being regarded as merely supplementary to traditional industry and manufacturing, services have generated progressively rising levels of growth in developed economies while at the same time coming to be recognised as major drivers of innovation.
Among the factors which have helped service companies notch up swifter growth rates than all other sectors are the outsourcing of such services by other sectors, including the development of information and communication technologies, and changes to the regulatory, legal and market frameworks as well as globalisation and internationalisation. The result is a cluster of highly innovative firms which can loosely be grouped under the heading of Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS). Knowledge Intensive Business Services and Regional Competitiveness charts the development of these firms and explores their success through four mutually linked parts: KIBS and industrial dynamics; KIBS and their context; KIBS and their contribution to regional competitiveness and economic development; and finally, KIBS and public policy.
This book is suitable for researchers and policy makers interested in the rise of these influential actors and their influence on regional competitiveness.

Описание: The book aims at providing an overview of the main economic issues related to tourism activities. While tourism is an important sector, contributing to more than 10% of the European Union’s GDP, research and teaching at the university level has only recently grown to a considerable level, and the field still lacks a firm research methodology. This book approaches tourism economics as an applied field of study in which tourism markets are represented as imperfect markets, with asymmetric and incomplete information among agents, bounded rationality, and with a strong presence of externalities and public goods. The economic issues studied in the book are approached both intuitively, largely using examples and case studies, and formally, with mathematical formalizations in text boxes.

Описание:
This book presents peer-reviewed, state-of-the-art conceptual and empirical papers devoted to changes in the international competitive position of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region, its countries and businesses. While the unprecedented scale of transformation in the CEE region has provided a distinct research setting for international business and economics scholars for more than two decades, there have also been recent discussions about the extent to which the region continues to have a unique business environment. The region's economies have reached different levels of market development and modern business practice adoption, with some of them now frequently classified as advanced economies. Consequently, the same level of heterogeneity among CEE countries can also be observed at the sector and business level.
The contributions in this book highlight possible sources of competitive advantage for CEE countries and firms, in light of recent intensive debates about the danger of the middle-income trap and the potential solutions to it.
Описание: This book examines the changing business andeconomic environment for postal services in Lithuania and the upcomingchallenges for this industry. Postal services continue to play a central partin the development of national economies. However, the economic and social roleof postal services has changed rapidly and fundamentally over the last twodecades. In most industrialized countries, paper-based communications are in seriousdecline, while the demand for parcel delivery services is rising steadily with thecontinuing development of e-commerce, just-in-time production techniques, andglobal supply chains. For the postal sector as a whole, the centre of gravityhas shifted dramatically from letters and documents to parcels. The authors explain how the organizationalparadigm has inexorably shifted from that of a national, government-ownedpostal administration providing the basic delivery services required by society,to a system of interdependent local and regional undertakings that both competeand cooperate with one another. The book argues that there are no indications thatthe postal sector has stopped changing, and that it seems most probable thatthe European Union’s postal sector will look quite different in 2035 than itdoes today. In closing, the book explains how the shareholders of postalservices companies have recently confirmed that the time has come to rethinkthe strategy of creating and maintaining competitiveness in the postal servicesindustry.
