Approach on Competitive Strategy

Michael E. PorterAuthor, Management Consultant

“ Sound strategy starts with having the right goal ” – Michael Porter

The Institute for Competitiveness, India is a step towards extending and disseminating the research pioneered by Michael E. Porter, Bishop William Lawrence University Professor, who studies competition and its implications for company strategy. The elements of the research include the competitiveness of nations, regions and cities and solutions to social problems.

The research and the advisory projects of the Institute are grounded in the theoretical constructs of the Diamond Model, the Five forces Analysis and the Value Chain, some of which include City Competitiveness Report, State Competitiveness Report, Rannya (Strategy Game) and Demystify Strategy (Strategy Book).

Competitiveness in India

Innovative Capacity >> Productivity >> Prosperity

Institute for Competitiveness, India aims to inspire and initiate development, innovation, and competitiveness in the Indian policy formulation. The objective of the Institute is to enthuse the practices and culture of the geographical divisions of India for the summated prosperity of the nation.

The strategic reformation and reformulation of the Indian policy structure needs a base in competitive efficiency and opulence and IFC answers the call of the economic and social organizations and enterprises engaged in realizing India’s growth story towards sustained development.

Competitiveness needs to exist at every level and Institute for Competitiveness, India encourages the bottom up approach in summating the competitiveness of sub-regions to truly enhance the prospects of the region as a whole. Large economies must not behave like a blundering giant but rather a cooperative series of smaller economies. The responsibility and the accountability of the nation resides at each regional level.

Building Competitiveness

Microeconomic competitiveness is the result of a reinforcing set of qualities across all diamond dimensions.

Competitiveness upgrading requires disproportional improvements of qualities that are currently critical rather than across the board improvements. Focus on bottlenecks within a given value proposition Simultaneous changes in multiple dimensions to enhance or substitute the value proposition (mode of

competing) of the region

The State Competitiveness Report analyses and grades competitiveness of Indian States using a well-defined

conceptual structure and theoretical construct backed by a rigorous statistical methodology. Providing a better view of shortcoming of states as they need to take into consideration all issues at the micro and

macro-economic level. Gauging the states as potential investment avenues and provide a perspective on expected returns. Uses the Porter’s Diamond as its core structure and is inspired by the World Economic Forum’s framework on national

competitiveness. The report incorporates hard data rather than soft data such as executive opinion surveys, etc., which might introduce

sampling errors and bias. The hard data allows a more current assessment of competitiveness ranking with mapping of incremental or quantum

changes in values of input indicators. From an execution and policy formulation perspective, this approach provides clarity to the choice of relatively

important indicators; a virtual Pole Star for those keen to enhance competitiveness.
