Suggested Competitive Strategies and a Firm's Labor Productivity in Global Markets: An Empirical Investigation‪.‬

ABSTRACT This pioneer study explores and investigates the relationship between five competitive strategies and a firm's labor productivity in global markets. The findings of this study reveal that four strategies (adapt to local market differences, exploit economies of global scale, tap optimal locations for activities and resources, and maximize knowledge transfer across locations) have positive and significant relationships with a firm's labor productivity. The fifth strategy (exploit economies of global scope) has a marginal relationship with labor productivity.
