Abstract

This chapter defines issues related to potentially problematic mismatches between evolving patterns of trade partnerships and changing requirements of industry competitiveness. This chapter summarizes the theory of network capabilities. Two previous books (i.e., Park and Hong in Building network capabilities in turbulent competitive environments: Practices of global firms from Korea and Japan. CRC Press, Boca Raton, 2012; Hong and Park in Building network capabilities in turbulent competitive environments: Business success stories from the BRICs. CRC Press, Boca Raton, 2014) examined the theory and practices of network capabilities of global firms from Korea, Japan and BRICs. In this book the new framework of ToP and BoP Interface Capabilities (TBIC) are presented along with the concept of technology, customer, and linkage competence.

….the global proliferation of digitally mediated linkages between individuals and nonstate actors constitutes a fundamental challenge to traditional dynamics of interstate communication in the form of the diplomatic system. This provides an opportunity to reconceptualize world society as an alternative site of politics distinct from mainstream international society and generative of its own logic of communication, mobilization, and action. (Tobias Lemke and Michael W. Habegger, 2018).
