In the debate on the evolution and development of competitive  advantage, the most famous work has been that of Michael E. Porter. In   The Competitive Advantage of Nations, Porter argues that national competitiveness finds its origins in geographic isolation which was the impetus for the kind and degree of innovation that characterized the  nature and scope of  economic and industrial activity within successful sectors in developed economies.  Competitive advantage in developed nations, as argued by Porter, owes  itself to a cultural pre-disposition, an acumen as it were, that became  culturally imbedded in those societies over an extended period of time.  This work seeks to identify what are the cultural facets that define  competitive advantage within small developing states. In doing so, it  identifies the link between culture and economic activity as is  manifested in Trinidad and Tobago and defines the nature and scope of  the Diamond and Cluster of those industrial sectors that are studied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843354189\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe case of a small developing country as Trinidad and Tobago\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843354189","offer_id":39470109458525,"sku":"9783843354189","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/6ec279f8-966f-4f30-ae40-b31fe00bd70d.jpg?v=1772866080","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/international-competitiveness-von-barry-ishmael","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
