Building Capable Organization: A Study On Strategic Responses To Increased Global Competition

Abstract

While the government still plays a critical role in capitalizing organizational market transformation, firms work hard to improve their management capabilities to manage this transformation. This article outlines the strategic challenges facing a China’s electric leader as the level of both global and domestic competition rises, and identifies the range of strategic responses being made to overcome these challenges. As the firm builds competitive capabilities, its “battle tested” strategies may provide useful lessons for today’s managers who are also facing a growing range of competitive challenges in the global marketplace.
