AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to reflect on some policy possibilities and outcomes for three countries of interest suggested in Porter's The Competitive Advantage of Nations. Design/methodology/approach -This research was both exploratory and qualitative in nature and utilized an in-depth case study approach of three major international economies reflecting previous observations in The Competitive Advantage of Nations. Personal contemporaneous observations of individuals in the countries of interest were complemented by current secondary information. The three countries selected for analysis, South Korea, Sweden and the USA, reflected different stages of development at the time The Competitive Advantage of Nations was published and certainly different progress since then. Findings -The Competitive Advantage of Nations advocated new, constructive and actionable roles for government and business. These observations can now be tested after a reasonable time of development. In terms of development, Korea would appear to be the star of the group; Sweden has made strong progress in comparison with other members of the European Union. Although there are areas of strength, the USA recently has lost much of the edge it had at the time of the Advantage's publication. Research limitations/implications -Because this research was built on case studies, one has the reservations common with that approach. On the other hand, case studies are acknowledged as useful in the identification of important variables in situations in which there is little control over events in a real-world context. Practical implications -Countries must go their own way and find their own paths to success. In some ways, directions are suggested by Schumpeter (1942Schumpeter ( /1975 and in others, by Porter ( /1996. Chance appears to have played a role in development in each instance, but government, seen as a fifth determinant possibility by Porter, heavily affected outcomes in each instance. Originality/value -Although relying heavily on Porter, result...
Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to give a more appropriate picture of the new trend of career shifts in a late career.Design/methodology/approach -The paper uses literature studies.Findings -The paper gives a more apposite picture of experiential learning and career shift for mature people.Research limitations/implications -The paper gives no exact guidance in how to assess experiential learning.Practical implications -Appreciating mature people's experiential learning gives employers a broader and richer hiring base, which is especially important in a period of shortage of employees.Social implications -For many societies the age distribution is unfavorable with too many mature people in pension age. The good thing is that many mature people are interested in staying active in the labor market.Originality/value -The paper argues that a combination of academic and experiential learning probably will qualify individuals best for career shifts as it leads them to a higher order of competence. Career shifts will blow new air into a person's career and enrich them and the organization, which they serve.
