«The Competitive Advantage of Nations» is an economic essay by Michael E. Porter, published by Palgrave Macmillan in hardcover (875 pages, in English).
Based on ten major trading nations, it analyzes why some economies prosper and others do not. For Porter, productivity matters more than natural resources or labor, and his «diamond» serves to evaluate a country's competitive advantage; he also describes «clusters» as networks that drive the economy.
Originally published in 1990. It has gone through more than eleven reprints and has been translated into twelve languages.
Aimed at university students, professionals and scholars of economics, business and economic policy.
