Exploiting opportunities of the new economy: developing nations

چکیده
48 Abstract 49 Nations competing in this ruthless and changing “new economy” rely on industries that are often headquartered, performing 50 research and development and executing their supply chains and distribution channels in other nations. “Supporting” nations provide 51 the infrastructure and the ancillary resources that allow firms and industries to settle, prosper and gain market share. At the same 52 time, these supporting nations reap economic rewards of those industries that they attract and develop core competencies themselves 53 to expand the industry sectors. 54 Ireland is presented as a model for the supporting nation within the information and communication technology (ICT) industry, 55 and is studied to identify why firms in that industry have chosen Ireland as a hotbed for regional competitiveness. Very little 56 academic research has been done on Ireland and its burgeoning technology industries. Poland and the Philippines are introduced 57 as potential supporting nations in contrast with Ireland. 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. 58

The development and evolution of any system–person, organization–nation depends on how the system succeeds to bridge the gap between what the system knows and what the system does (with the knowledge).
