MANAGEERING BALANCED WAY OF LIFE: MANAGING & ENGINEERING COMMUNITY PLATFORMS USING ENDOWMENTS, MARKETPLACES, & INCUBATORS

Abstract

The Continuous Global Problem section explains that every nation is facing the continuous challenge of how to provide all of its citizens with a high and rising standard of living. The Porter Competitiveness Theory section summarizes the national competitiveness framework developed by Professor Porter from the Harvard Business School who argues that the global problem can be solved by improving national prosperity, which is largely dependent on building business locations that foster competitive firms that generate jobs and lead to economic growth. Finally, the authors describe in the Competitive Platform Solution section how to use the Porter theory to engineer and manage a competitive community platform that disadvantaged locations can join so local, national, and global populations can lead a balanced way of life and simultaneously improve local, national, and global prosperity
