Now beyond its eleventh printing and translated into twelve languages, Michael Porter's The Competitive Advantage of Nations has changed completely our conception of how prosperity is created and sustained in the modern global economy. Porter's groundbreaking study of international competitiveness has shaped national policy in countries around the world. It has also transformed thinking and action in states, cities, companies, and even entire regions such as Central America. Based on research in ten leading trading nations, The Competitive Advantage of Nations offers the first theory of competitiveness based on the causes of the productivity with which companies compete. Porter shows how traditional comparative advantages such as natural resources and pools of labor have been superseded as sources of prosperity, and how broad macroeconomic accounts of competitiveness are insufficient. The book introduces Porter's "diamond," a whole new way to understand the competitive position of a nation (or other locations) in global competition that is now an integral part of international business thinking. Porter's concept of "clusters," or groups of interconnected firms, suppliers, related industries, and institutions that arise in particular locations, has become a new way for companies and governments to think about economies, assess the competitive advantage of locations, and set public policy. Even before publication of the book, Porter's theory had guided national reassessments in New Zealand and elsewhere. His ideas and personal involvement have shaped strategy in countries as diverse as the Netherlands, Portugal, Taiwan, Costa Rica, and India, and regions such as Massachusetts, California, and the Basque country. Hundreds of cluster initiatives have flourished throughout the world. In an era of intensifying global competition, this pathbreaking book on the new wealth of nations has become the standard by which all future work must be measured.Binding Type: Hardcover

Looks great buy too short
Color: Red, Size: 4X-Large
Purchased for my son for a Christmas event at his job. He is 330pds and 6ft tall so I got the 4xl for him. It's fits perfectly in width BUT it's short. I know because he is tall I should have searched for a 4XLT but could not find one in the colors needed. But I purchased a white 4xlt tee for him to wear underneath and leave the shirt open it's looks great. So great shirt comfy and cozy well made and colors exactly as shown but if you are on the taller side maybe wear it as an over shirt with a tee underneath.

Well made, warm.
Color: Brown, Size: X-Large
A heavy yet soft flannel shirt. Nice on a foggy or light misty day. Flannel is a bit loosely woven but well sewn. Size reflects its lable. Its become a 'got to' shirt this fall.

Quality look
This is my second purchase of this shirt. Soft, thick, good quality. Usually worn open with a tee underneath. Sizing is normal and a good length. But it could also be tucked in. Looks great!

Great shirt
Color: Khaki, Size: XX-Large, Color: Khaki, Size: XX-Large
Wonderful shirt. Bought this for my husband to wear for family photos and it fit great, wasn't scratchy and he was so comfortable in it he actually wears it to work sometimes even to this day. I would buy this brand again. It washed it before he wore it, I didn't notice any shrinking.
