Research: Innovation Growth Strategy: A Study of Competitive Advantage of SME’s In The United Kingdom

Business Strategy plays a major role in most companies, particularly in developed and mature countries. Studies show that a formal strategy can contribute to organizational effectiveness and competitive advantage. In the last few years, the United Kingdom has faced a protracted and slow growth, political uncertainty and inefficiencies due to poor management. As a result, similar mature markets have seen productivity and efficiency surpass that of the UK. Between 2017 and 2019, the UK economy lost 185 billion GBP per year due to poor management and resulting ill health. The UK also fell 14% behind similar countries in the G7 on productivity (Francke, 2017). The economic environment does not favour businesses with little or no strategic direction.

South African youth are facing an employment crisis. The deficient national education system and lack of skills development are two of the major issues which are contributing to a high youth unemployment rate.

Nana Korobi Ya Oki – 7 Times Fall Down Get Up 8

Often Candidates attending the Doctoral seminars have heard me speak of the factor of success in completing a PhD. I liken them to tools that we need in our toolbox.

There are other factors that are more important to the successful completion of the dissertation and program.

This tendency has been attributed to daunting challenges related to the exploitation of especially Africa�s extractive natural resources (Seedwell & Gladys, 2017). One of the significant issues is that the benefits accruing from exploitation of the Continent�s natural resources often do not flow through to the populace (Ayuk & Klege, 2017). However, the evidence presented in the literature on whether or not there exists a possible link between natural resources and economic development are mixed or inconclusive
