How Countries Compete: Strategy, Structure, and Government in the Global Economy

A interesting book if you would like understand how countries have developed and became what they are now ! Unfortunately there is no Brasil there as we talk a lot of time about the "BRICS" !

This book is a great example of the need of undertanding the offering strategy of any entity. Ths includes from countries, retailers, to brands and local products. Just think that Coca-Cola offers just one product! Francisco Zegers

I think it is a very well written book. It has a lot of very interesting and meaningful information on history, economics and countries' social lives. The author tries to introduce you in a timely fashion on the situational scenario the countries he covers were at a particular point in time, describes the challenges and advantages and how and why they managed to get to where they are. It is easy to read and highly advisable especially for the ones that haven't had the chance to look at some facts related to some Asian countries. .
