Abstract: textSummary: In this paper we investigate the usefulness for strategic management of Porter's framework
of analysis of the competitive advantage of nations in particular regarding the importance
of the changing national environment within the EC. It appears that Porter's framework -
supplemented with contributions from the Industrial Organization field and with special
attention to the growing importance of the service sector and the particular characteristics
of services - can indeed contribute to our understanding of the importance of the national
environment within the EC for strategic management. However, much research has to be
done. In this connection, the paper proposes a few key questions for further research.

Abstract: The substantial differences in industrial training participation rates and costs at industry level are focused on. Data on costs and participation rates for the EC member states are presented and attention is drawn to differences in training systems among the countries, with special emphasis on The Netherlands. The important results of an extensive survey on industrial training in The Netherlands are reported. Remarkable differences between industrial sectors can be noticed, both in training intensity and in organisational structure. A framework is presented aimed at explaining these differences. The framework is applied to the Dutch data and preliminary results and recommendations are presented.

Het onderzoek naar de diverse vormen van samenwerking tussen organisaties, bijvoorbeeld joint ventures en strategische allianties, speelt zich doorgaans af op het analyseniveau van de organisaties zelf. Aan samenwerkingsverbanden tussen organisaties op een functioneel managementgebied, bijvoorbeeld produktie, Research & Development (R&D) en marketing, wordt in de literatuur minder aandacht besteed. Terwijl produktie en met name R&D voor veel ondernemingen in de jaren negentig tot de belangrijkste functionele managementgebieden zullen gaan behoren (Porter, 1990). Levenscycli van diverse produkten zullen verkorten door versnelde technologische ontwikkeling, zich snel wijzigende consumentenvoorkeuren en hogere kwaliteitseisen. Hierdoor zullen veel ondernemingen gedwongen zijn tot het opvoeren van hun R&D inspanning, zelf of in samenwerking met anderen, en flexibilisering van de organisatiestructuur....
