Read the following passage carefully and answer question numbers from 37 to 42 :
In terms of labour, for decades the relatively low cost and high quality of Japanese workers
conferred considerable competitive advantage across numerous durable goods and consumerelectronics industries (e.g. Machinery, automobiles, televisions, radios). Then labour-based
advantages shifted to South Korea, then to Malaysia, Mexico and other nations. Today, China
appears to the capitalizing best on the basis of labour. Japanese firms still remain competitive
in markets for such durable goods, electronics and other products, but the labour force is no
longer sufficient for competitive advantage is clearly not limited to manufacturing industries.
Today, a huge number of IT and service jobs are moving from Europe and North America to
India, Singapore, and like countries with relatively well-educated, low-cost workforces possessing
technical skills. However, as educational levels and technical skills continue to rise in other
countries, India, Singapore, and like nations enjoying labour-based competitive advantage today
are likely to find such advantage cannot be sustained through emergence of new competitors.
In terms of capital, for centuries the days of gold coins and later even paper money restricted
financial flows. Subsequently regional concentrations were formed where large banks, industries
and markets coalesced. But today capital flows internationally at rapid speed. Global commerce
no longer requires regional interactions among business players. Regional capital concentrations
in places such as New York, London and Tokyo still persist, of course, but the capital concentrated
there is no longer sufficient for competitive advantage over other capitalists distributed worldwide.
Only if an organization is able to combine, integrate and apply its resources (eg. Land, labour,
capital, IT) in an effective manner that is not readily imitable by competitors can such an
organization enjoy competitive advantage sustainable overtime.
In a knowledge-based theory of the firm, this idea is extended to view organizational knowledge
as a resource with atleast the same level of power and importance as the traditional economic
inputs. An organization with superior knowledge can achieve competitive advantage in markets
that appreciate the application of such knowledge. Semiconductors, genetic engineering,
pharmaceuticals, software, military warfare, and like knowledge-intensive competitive arenas
provide both time-proven and current examples. Consider semiconductors (e.g. computer chips),
which are made principally of sand and common metals. These ubiquitous and powerful electronic
devices are designed within common office buildings, using commercially available tools, and
fabricated within factories in many industrialized nations. Hence, land is not the key competitive
resource in the semiconductor industry.
Based on the passage answer the following questions :
37.

How can an organisation enjoy competitive advantage sustainable overtime?

(1)
Through regional capital flows
