[Headnote]
Paradoxically,the enduring competitive advantages in a global economy lie increasingly in local
things -knowledge,relationships,and motivation that distant rivals cannot match.
NOW THAT COMPANIES can source capital,goods,information,and technology from around
the world,often with the click of a mouse,much of the conventional wisdom about how
companies and nations compete needs to be overhauled.In theory,more open global markets and
faster transportation and communication should diminish the role of location in competition.
After all,anything that can be efficiently sourced from a distance through global markets and
corporate networks is available to any company and therefore is essentially nullified as a source
of competitive advantage.
But if location matters less,why,then,is it truethat the odds of finding a world-class mutual-fund
company in Boston are much higher than in most any other place?Why could the same be said of
textile-related companies in North Carolina and South Carolina,of high-performance auto
companies in southern Germany,or of fashion shoe companies in northern Italy?

批注
有点自相矛盾的是,在全球经济中,持久的竞争优势越来越多地依赖对当地事情的了解程度、及当地关系和动机,而这些是遥远的竞争对手无法匹敌的.现在,公司通常通过点击鼠标就可以寻求来自世界各地的资本、商品、信息和技术以及大部分的传统智慧,知道企业和国家竞争需要如何检修.从理论上讲,更加开放的全球市场,更快的交通和通讯应该减少地域的竞争.毕竟,任何事情都能够有效地通过全球市场和来自远处公司网络获得,因此地域本质上是无效的竞争优势.但如果地域问题少了,为什么在波士顿找到一个世界级的共同基金公司的可能性远高于大多数其他地方呢?为什么同样的纺织类公司会出现在北卡罗来纳州和南卡罗来纳州,为什么高性能汽车公司在德国南部,或时尚鞋公司在意大利北部呢?
