Reflections on Porter Hypothesis: Lessons for Policy, Research, and Practice
1.
Reflections on a
Hypothesis: Lessons for Policy, Research, and Corporate Practice Policy Research Professor Michael E. Porter Harvard Business School Presentation at The Porter Hypothesis at 20 Conference Montreal, Canada June 28, 2010 28 No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means—electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise—without the permission of Michael E. Porter. Additional information may be found at the website of the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, www.isc.hbs.edu. 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 1 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
2.
Agenda
• How the Porter Hypothesis emerged • What has changed • Implications for continuing environmental progress in 2010 • Applying the principles to other societal issues 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 2 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
3.
Origins of the
Porter Hypothesis • Empirical observation • Learning on the firm and competitive advantage • Shifti definition of competitiveness Shifting d fi iti f titi • New thinking about the role of location in competitiveness 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 3 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
4.
The Firm and
Competitive Advantage The Value Chain Firm Infrastructure (e.g. Financing, Planning, Investor Relations) Human Resource Management (e.g. Recruiting, T i i ( R iti Training, C Compensation S t ) ti System) Technology Development (e.g. Product Design, Testing, Process Design, Material Research, Market Research) M Value Procurement a What buyers are (e.g. Components, Machinery Advertising (e g Components Machinery, Advertising, Services) r willing t pay illi to g Inbound Operations Outbound Marketing After-Sales i Logistics Logistics & Sales Service n (e.g. (e g Incoming (e.g. Assembly, (e g Assembly (e.g. (e g Order (e.g. (e g Sales (e.g. Installation, (e g Installation Material Component Processing, Force, Customer Storage, Data Fabrication, Warehousing, Promotion, Support, Collection, Branch Report Advertising, Complaint Service, Operations) Preparation) Proposal Resolution, Customer Writing, Web Repair) Access) ) site) ) • All competitive advantage resides in the value chain. Strategy is manifested in how activities in the value chain are configured and linked together 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 4 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
5.
What is Competitiveness?
• C Competitiveness i th productivity with which a nation uses it h titi is the d ti it ith hi h ti its human, capital, and natural resources – Productivity sets the standard of living – Productivity growth sets sustainable economic growth • Productivity and prosperity depends on how a nation competes, not what industries it competes in • Relentless innovation is necessary to drive productivity growth and enable standard of living to rise – Technology, products, and organizational methods • Nations compete to offer the most productive environment for business • The public and private sectors play different but interrelated roles in creating a productive economy 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 5 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
6.
The Role of
Location in Competitiveness Context for Firm Strategy and Rivalry A local context and rules that encourage productivity Factor – e.g., incentives for capital Demand (Input) investments, intellectual property protection Conditions Conditions Incentive systems based on merit Availability of high quality, y g y Open and vigorous local p g More sophisticated and demanding local p g specialized inputs available to firms competition, especially among customer(s) – Human resources locally based rivals Local customer needs that anticipate those – Capital resources elsewhere – Physical infrastructure Unusual local demand in specialized – Administrative infrastructure (e.g. segments th t can be served nationally and t that b d ti ll d registration, permits) Related and globally – Information infrastructure (e.g. economic Supporting data, corporate disclosure) Industries – Scientific and technological infrastructure – Natural resources Access to capable, locally based suppliers and firms in related fields Presence of clusters instead of isolated industries • Many things matter for competitiveness • Successful economic development is a process of successive upgrading, in which the business environment improves to enable increasingly sophisticated ways of competing 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 6 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter

Clusters and Competitiveness
The Spanish Wind Energy Cluster Collaborative Design/R&D Facilities Market Participants Institutions Universities Legislators (national, EU, regional) Subcomponent Manufacturers Specialized NGOs S i li d NGO Financiers Fi i Turbine Manufacturers Project Developers Supporting Industries Wind Farm Construction (engine, bearing Wind Consultancies & Operation p manufacturers) Trade Associations Source: Harvard student team - Emily Bolon, Matthew Commons. Frank Des Rosiers, Paz Guzman, Nicholas Kukrika (2007) 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 7 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
8.
The Process of
Economic Development Old Model New Model • Government drives economic • Economic development is a development through policy collaborative process involving decisions and incentives government at multiple levels, • Top-down companies, teaching and research institutions industry institutions, associations, and other institutions for collaboration • Competitiveness should be a bottoms-up process in which many individuals, companies, and institutions take responsibility 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 8 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
9.
Developments Since 1991
• Wide acceptance in business • Learning by regulators – E.g., outcomes not methods – Innovation not abatement • Learning by NGOs – Some NGOs have made a “business” of environmental improvement – Collaboration with the private sector • Profound shift in societal values BUT • Zero-sum thinking persists • Ongoing political challenges 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 9 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
10.
Some Implications for
Policy Find and expand win win opportunities win-win • Expand measurement and benchmarking • Support research and diffusion of learning • Simplify regulatory p p y g y processes and make them less costly, less time y, consuming, and more transparent • Pursue consistency and international harmonization of policy • Harness clusters/collaboration models • Lengthen time horizons – C it l markets Capital k t 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 10 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
11.
Implications for Research
• C f l h li ti l Careful, holistic, longitudinal case studies it di l t di – Matched pairs across geography/settings • Richer data sets – Single industry empirical studies • Methodology defined by the problem – Lags, learning effects 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 11 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
12.
Implications for Corporate
Practice • Some companies still treat environmental impact as CSR not as a CSR, tool to drive innovation and competitiveness • Use environmental innovation as a tool for strategic positioning, not just best practice improvement tj tb t ti i t • There are numerous opportunities for cluster-based approaches to improving environmental performance 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 12 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
13.
Defining the Boundaries
of Capitalism Company Social and Profitability and Economic Growth Development • Narrow cost minimization • Ease of outsourcing relocating and globalizing outsourcing, relocating, • Shortening time horizons • Tradeoff mindset in both companies and stakeholders 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 13 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
14.
Sources of Competitive
Advantage: New Learning Employee Local Education Supplier Base and Skills Poverty in P t i Worker a Company’s Safety Community Environmental Company Gender Impact Productivity Equity Employee Energy Use Health Water Use • Social deficits create economic cost • External constraints reduce company productivity 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 14 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
15.
Creating Shared Value
Shared Value: Corporate policies and practices that enhance the competitiveness of the company while simultaneously advancing economic and social conditions y g in the communities in which it operates • Find and expand the congruence between economic and societal objectives, p g j , rather than assume tradeoffs or the need for redistribution – Driven by value creation thinking • Shared value arises from a deeper understanding of the drivers of competitiveness and competitive advantage – The opportunities are growing • Achieving shared value requires new operating practices, new technologies, and new approaches to competing • Shared value thinking also applies to government/NGOs 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 15 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
16.
Levels of Shared
Value • Use shared value thinking to reconfigure the value chain to drive productivity • Create products that meet social needs • Build clusters and a supportive local external context to enhance productivity and create self reinforcing economic development self-reinforcing 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 16 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
17.
The Purpose of
Business • There is an opportunity to transform thinking and practice about the role of the corporation in society, using the concept of shared value • Shared value arises from a deeper understanding of doing business that transcends narrower conceptions of economic efficiency that have guided company operations • Shared value thinking will provide new catalysts for global economic growth and the next wave of innovation and productivity in the global economy • Businesses acting as businesses, not as charitable givers, are arguably the most powerful force for addressing many pressing issues facing our society • A transformation of business practice around shared value will give purpose to the corporation and to capitalism itself, and represents our best chance to legitimize business again g g 20100628 – PorterHypothesis.ppt 17 Copyright 2010 © Professor Michael E. Porter
