1 Texas Competitiveness: Creating a State Economic Strategy Professor Michael E. Porter Harvard Business School March 28, 2012 For further material on regional competitiveness and clusters: For state economic profiles: State Competitiveness Rich Bryden Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter

2 The Economic Challenge for Governors in 2011 Achieving Fiscal Stability Enhancing State Competitiveness 2011 State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 2 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter

3 What is Competitiveness? Competitiveness is the productivity with which a state utilizes its human, capital, and natural endowments to create value Productivity determines wages, jobs, and the standard of living It is not what fields a state competes in that determines its prosperity, but how productively it competes 2011 State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 3 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter

4 Where Does Productivity Come From? Businesses and government play different but interrelated roles in creating a productive economy Only businesses can create jobs and wealth States compete to offer the most productive environment for business 2011 State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 4 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter

5 Agenda 1. How is your state doing? State Performance Scorecard 2. Why? 3. Where to go from here? Explaining your state s performance, strengths, and weaknesses Action Steps 2011 State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 5 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter

14 Quality of the Overall Business Environment Context for Firm Strategy and Rivalry Factor (Input) Conditions Access to high quality business inputs Human resources Capital access Physical infrastructure Administrative processes (e.g., permitting, regulatory efficiency) Scientific and technological infrastructure Rules and incentives that encourage local competition, investment and productivity e.g., tax policy that encourages investment and R&D Flexible labor policies Intellectual property protection Antitrust enforcement Related and Supporting Industries Local availability of suppliers and supporting industries Demand Conditions Sophisticated and demanding local needs and customers e.g., Strict quality, safety, and environmental standards Consumer protection laws Government procurement of advanced technology Early demand for products and services Many things matter for competitiveness Economic development is the process of improving the business environment to enable companies to compete in increasingly sophisticated ways 2011 State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 14 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter

15 Improving the Business Environment Common Action Items 1. Simplify and speed up regulation and permitting 2. Reduce unnecessary costs of doing business 3. Establish training programs that are aligned with the needs of the state s businesses 4. Focus infrastructure investments on the most leveraged areas for productivity and economic growth 5. Design all policies to support emerging growth companies 6. Protect and enhance the state s higher education and research institutions 7. Relentlessly improve the public education system, the essential foundation for productivity in the long run 2011 State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 15 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter

17 What is a Cluster? A geographically concentrated group of interconnected companies and associated institutions in a particular field Traded Clusters Compete to serve national and international markets Can locate anywhere 30% of employment Local Clusters Serve almost exclusively the local market Not directly exposed to cross-regional competition 70% of employment 2011 State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 17 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E.

30 Cluster Development Common Action Items 1. Build on the state s existing and emerging clusters rather than chase hot fields 2. Pursue economic diversification within clusters and across related clusters 3. Create a private sector-led cluster upgrading program with matching support for participating private sector cluster organizations Government should listen and remove obstacles to cluster improvement 4.

41 Create an Economic Strategy What is the distinctive competitive position of the state or region given its location, legacy, existing strengths, and potential strengths? What unique value as a business location? For what types of activities and clusters? Define the Value Proposition Develop Unique Strengths What elements of the business environment can be unique strengths relative to peers/neighbors? What existing and emerging clusters represent local strengths? Achieve and Maintain Parity with Peers What weaknesses must be addressed to remove key constraints and achieve parity with peer locations? Economic strategy requires setting priorities and moving beyond long lists of separate recommendations State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 41 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter

42 How Should States Compete for Investment? Tactical (Zero Sum Competition) Strategic (Positive Sum Competition) Focus on attracting new investments Compete for every plant Offer generalized tax breaks Provide subsidies to lower / offset business costs Every city and sub-region for itself Government drives investment attraction Also support greater local investment by existing companies Reinforce areas of specialization and emerging cluster strength Provide state support for training, infrastructure, and institutions with enduring benefits Improve the efficiency of doing business Harness efficiencies and coordination across jurisdictions, especially with neighbors Government and the private sector collaborate to build cluster strength 2011 State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 42 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter

43 Harnessing the New Process of Economic Development Competitiveness is the result of both top-down and bottom-up processes in which many companies and institutions take responsibility Old Model New Model Government drives economic development through policy decisions and incentives Economic development is a collaborative process involving government at multiple levels, companies, teaching and research institutions, and private sector organizations 2011 State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 43 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter

44 Example: Organizing for Economic Development Cluster Committees South Carolina Council on Competitiveness Executive Committee Chaired by a business leader and reporting to the governor Convenes working groups, provides direction and strength, holds working groups accountable Coordinating Staff Task Forces Automotive Apparel Cluster Activation Education / Workforce Hydrogen / Fuel Cells Agriculture Research / Investment Start-ups / Local Firms Textiles Travel and Tourism Distressed / Disadvan. Areas Measuring Progress Effective economic policy also requires coordination within government 2011 State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 44 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter

45 Summary The goal of economic strategy is to enhance productivity. This is the only way to create jobs, high income, and wealth in the long run Improving productivity and innovation must be the guiding principles for every state policy choice Improving productivity does not require new public resources, but using existing resources better Improving productivity demands that governors mobilize the private sector, not rely on government alone Economic strategy is non-partisan and about getting results 2011 State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 45 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter

46 Next Steps 1. Reach out to your team 2. Reach out to the business community 3. Take advantage of Harvard Business School data and tools to support this effort. Go to The prosperity of the U.S. economy will depend more on the success of states in improving competitiveness than what happens in Washington 2011 State Competitiveness Rich Bryden 46 Copyright 2011 Professor Michael E.
