“…The "Top-Down" policy implementation theory is adopted for this study. The first attempt at presenting the model was accomplished by Pressman & Wildavsky (1973); Van Meter and Van Horn (1975); Bardach (1977), Mazmanian & Sabatier (1983;1989) and Gholipour, Jandaghi & Fallah (2012). It was popularised in the 1980s by Sabatier, Mazmanian, Nakamura & Smallwood, and Edwards.…”

“…These are nature, structural and background variables. As Edwards note, four reasons which include resources, bureaucratic structure, communication, and enforcement trends influence policy implementation (Edwards, 1980in Gholipour, Jandaghi & Fallah, 2012. The model represents a commandand-control system from the government of the day to the project.…”

The high rate of economic growth, the provision of basic facilities, and job creation are products of any nation’s level of industrialisation. Globally, no nation is considered to have attained a concerted level of a high standard of living in the absence of economic development. Thus, industrialisation that ought to be the bedrock of Nigerian economy has continued on a downward journey in the 21st century, despite several industrial development policies. Therefore, the paper is an attempt to find out how this sector has fared vis-a-vis the structural influence of UNIDO. The study is a qualitative work that adopted a thematic analysis approach. The adoption of Top-Down as a theoretical model of analyses validates the fundamental issues raised that; several industrial development programmes and projects initiated by both UNIDO and successive administrations in Nigeria to help in the revitalisation of industrial landscape in line with the government’s goal of emerging among the top 20 most developed economies in the world by 2020 have failed. The major informed findings of the paper are that for the time being, Nigeria still remains a consuming economy of finished products including some raw materials. In addition, her critical construction, engineering and maintenance activities are expatriates-based with little or no regard for local content. These cumulatively resulted in the advancement of the fact that the UNIDO supports have not significantly impacted the development of industries in Nigeria. The discourse conclusively gave birth to subsequent recommendations. Received: 6 January 2021 / Accepted: 3 April 2021 / Published: 17 May 2021

“…Knowledge Management (KM) can be implemented in all sections of an organization, including every department and sub-department in order to foster knowledge-based development (Akhavan&Jafari, 2006; and can create competitive advantage for Iranian SMEs (Gholipour et al, 2010). However, SMEs in Iran have not been able to manage all the aspects of KM at the same time (Valmohammadi, 2010).…”

There is fierce competition among firms to target larger markets. Effective competition and achieving advantage over competitors are closely associated with the concept of competitive advantage. Various sources of competitive advantage are found in the literature. However, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are increasingly becoming the center of attention for creating competitive advantage both at firm and country level. A large group of firms in every country are Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). SMEs are widely known as enablers of business and economic growth; nevertheless, they constantly face challenges in competition. In this study, ICTs are introduced as a strategy for SMEs to improve their competitiveness. It is suggested that promoting competition among SMEs could lead to a higher performance in competitiveness at country level. The present research concludes by the strong potentiality of ICTs to improve Iran’s national competitiveness through making the home market more competitive for its SMEs.

There is fierce competition among firms to gain a larger customer-base. Countries, like firms, are in competition to stand out in global competitiveness and world market. Effective competition and achieving advantage over competitors are closely associated with the concept of competitive advantage. Various sources of competitive advantage are found in the literature. However, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are increasingly becoming the center of attention for creating competitive advantage both at firm and country level. A large group of firms in every country are Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). SMEs are widely known as enablers of business and economic growth; nevertheless, they constantly face challenges in competition. In this study, ICTs are introduced as a strategy for SMEs to improve their competitiveness. It is suggested that promoting competition among SMEs could lead to a higher performance in competitiveness at country level. This is investigated by focusing on Iran as a country case study. The present research concludes by the strong potentiality of ICTs to improve Iran’s national competitiveness through making the home market more competitive for its SMEs.
