by Yang Liu, Josu Takala
International Journal of Management and Enterprise Development (IJMED), Vol. 9, No. 1, 2010

Abstract: This paper connects previous research in global competitiveness analysis, taking the impact of global financial crisis into account, to evaluate how manufacturing companies are able to manage crisis by adjusting their manufacturing strategy and transformational leadership together with technology level to improve operational competitiveness performance. It develops a theoretical approach of integrating the core factors which influence the operational competitiveness performance, i.e. manufacturing strategy, and transformational leadership with technology level, into conceptual analytical models to evaluate overall competitiveness. The empirical studies are focused to case companies in the most dynamic market – China, especially large- and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, and compare their operational performances in global context. The overall competitiveness of multiple cases are studied using the proposed analytical models to conclude the experience of crisis management, which can become a model for crisis management studies of companies globally as well as foreign companies in China.
