Why a national competitiveness policy is needed
by Laura D'Andrea Tyson
International Journal of Technology Management (IJTM), Vol. 5, No. 3, 1990

Abstract: The deterioration in the US trade deficit and a perception that the USA is becoming uncompetitive in world markets for goods and services have led some observers to suggest that the country should develop a national policy on competitiveness. The author looks to Japan as an example of a nation which has pursued a successful economic and industrial policy, to see whether lessons can be learned for the USA. She suggests that the USA should develop promotional policies to support R&D, investment, and national competitive advantage in research-intensive, high-technology industries.
