Abstract:
Abstract Smart specialisations, a new area of economy/science which constitutes a new, growing economic specialisation based on utilising the unique natural resources of a region, connecting various branches of the industry, applying innovative technological solutions. Each Polish voivodeship has a specific list of smart specialisations aimed at creating new markets for economic activity, modernisation and increasing the region’s competitiveness. Using as an example the technical universities in the Silesian Voivodeship, the author considers the possibility of teaching future experts for Smart Specialisation implementation as part of the Production Engineering course. He signalises the potential and omissions.

Company growth depends on competitiveness and innovation, which are largely contingent on the scale and scope of research and development undertaken. In the new EU financial framework for 2014-2020, R&D funding is contingent on compliance with research planned with regional smart specialisations. The article reviews the literature on factors in competitiveness, as well as the importance of smart specialisation in shaping the development of the food sector in Poland. The main objective of the article is to present the role and importance of smart specialisation for companies in the food industry seeking to build a competitive position.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the influence of intra-product specialisation on the innovation ability of the high-technology industry in China. To achieve this research goal, we use the generalised method of moments (GMM) with a dynamic panel data model in our empirical research. Total factor productivity (TFP) and its decomposition variables are used to measure the innovation ability. The Malmquist index is employed to calculate TFP and its decomposition variables, namely, technology progress, technical efficiency and scale efficiency. Previous studies show that intra-product specialisation can raise TFP, but our empirical results reveal that the impact of the intra-product specialisation on the TFP is uncertain: it decreases TFP in the initial period but increases it in the lag period. Results also indicate that an increase in the proportion of state-owned property rights exerts a positive influence on TFP and the change in pure technical efficiency. Technical efficiency is greatly influenced by intra-product specialisation, whereas intra-product specialisation exerts a slight influence on technological progress. The capital investment in research and development (R&D) has a positive effect on TFP, and the contribution rate of R&D labour input to TFP is relatively low. The main conclusion is that China need to improve the degree of intra-product specialisation, accelerate the evolution of industry technical standards and reduce the coordination cost of intra-product specialisation to enhance the innovation ability of the high-technology industry.

Abstract:
This paper aims to test whether the same technological characteristics specific to the European ICT industry emerged over time in terms of large firms' profiles of specialisation. Against the background of an ongoing European integration process, the analysis takes into account the role played by country-specific factors. The increasing overlap between the ICT technological specialisation profiles of European multi-nationals seems to be the major finding of this paper. European technology policy might be identified as one of the factors explaining this pattern without, however, disregarding the broad impact of European integration, which has increased the extent of market-based and technology-based interaction between firms.

Abstract:
Bibliography: p. 121-131.
The primary aim of this paper is to attempt to apply the flexible specialisation (FS) methodology to the furniture industry in the Western Cape. As described in detail in the following section, the gains from employing this approach include "the conceptualisation of industrialisation as a locally embedded process, and the focus on network and on technological capability as essential elements in this process" (Aeroe, 1992:16). A positive approach is then used to assess which aspects of the Western Cape furniture industry (if any) are similar to the industrial organisational structure which has been termed the small firm variant of FS. The fieldwork for the empirical part of the case study was carried out on a sample of 20 furniture manufacturing concerns drawn from three clusters of furniture enterprises in Epping, Lansdowne and Blackheath. The criterion for the selection of these research areas was the existence of a critical mass of sectorally concentrated firms agglomerated within a geographically compact area. A key objective was to attempt to isolate the influence of the variable "locality" on other variables such as the extent of cooperation, firm performance and strategies and supplier relations, inter alia. Finally the normative implications of this variant are examined. Do features in the Western Cape industrial landscape exist which suggest the potential for development of regional industrial clusters along FS lines? In order to conduct a case study broadly within the FS framework, it is necessary to first review the literature and extract testable hypotheses. Firstly the general literature on the FS small firm variant is reviewed. Then a survey of FS case studies of the furniture/woodworking sector is presented. The next phase is a detailed perspective on the South African furniture industry given as a background to the empirical study which follows.

Abstract:
The Thesis investigates the determinants and patterns of specialisation and international trade in the manufacturing sectors of countries that are similar in terms of their technology, relative factor endowments and preferences. Chapter 1 shows that differences in country size alone can be a basis for interindustry trade in manufactures. I present a general equilibrium model in which each country has two imperfectly competitive industries which can differ in three respects: relative factor intensities, level of transport costs and demand elasticities. With positive trade costs and increasing returns to scale, each firm prefers to locate in the larger country due to the 'market access' effect. But the increase in demand for factors in the large country induces a 'production cost' effect - a rise in the wage in the large country relative to the small country to offset the locational advantage of the large country. The tension between the market access effect and production cost effect determines which industry will concentrate in which country and the pattern of inter-industry trade. Chapter 2 investigates circumstance in which technological leapfrogging between regions will occur. Input-output linkages between firms in imperfectly competitive industries create forces for agglomeration of industries in particular locations. A new technology, incompatible with the old, will not benefit from these linkages, so will typically be established in locations with little existing industry and consequently lower factor prices. Chapters 3 studies specialisation patterns in the European Union between 1968 and 1990. It investigates whether specialisation has increased in the European Union countries and analyses whether these patterns are consistent with three different strands of trade theories: the classical Heckscher-Ohlin theory, the 'new' trade theories based on increasing returns to scale, and the 'economic geography' theories based on vertical linkages between industries. I find that there is evidence of increasing specialisation in the European Union countries and there is some support for all three strands of trade theories.

Mohd, Kharuddin Khairul. "The effects of audit firm and partner industry specialisation and corporate governance on audit quality and earnings quality." Thesis, Aston University, 2016. http://publications.aston.ac.uk/30070/.

Full text
Abstract:
This PhD thesis examines two empirical issues. Firstly, the study examines the effects of industry specialist auditors and corporate governance on audit quality. Secondly, the study investigates the effects of industry specialist auditors and corporate governance on earnings quality. These two empirical research questions are examined under three different level of analysis for auditor industry specialisation: 1) the firm national-city framework, 2) the partner national-city framework, and 3) the joint firm-partner national-city framework. The corporate governance characteristics examined in this thesis are female directorship, foreign directorship, internal audit function, and audit committee characteristics relating to size, independence, expertise and activity. Audit quality in this study, is measured by the variation in the level of audit effort, as reflected in audit fees. The earnings quality measures examined in this study are the client’s level of discretionary accruals, accrual estimation error and likelihood of reporting a profit (or avoiding a loss). The study’s sample includes initially all companies listed in the London Stock Exchange (LSE) between 2008 and 2011. The findings from the first empirical study suggest that the audit partner industry leadership at the national level drives the fee premium for auditor industry specialisation in the U.K., above and beyond the audit firm industry leadership. Nevertheless, the evidence that non-industry leading partners within the industry leading audit firms are still able to charge a fee premium indicates that some form of knowledge sharing and transfer of industry expertise do exists between the partners within the Big 4 audit firms. In addition, the results also suggests that foreign directors and active audit committee demand additional and extensive audit effort from their auditor in order to certify their monitoring function, resulting in the charging of higher audit fees. Next, the findings from the second empirical enquiry suggest that audit firm industry leadership plays a more important role than audit partner industry leadership in promoting higher earnings quality, as evidenced by lower discretionary accruals, lower accrual estimation error and lower likelihood of reporting a profit. In addition, the study also finds that the female directors, audit committee independence, and audit committee’s accounting or financial expertise contribute to accruals manipulation. This finding is interesting given the data is tested in the period during and following on the 2007/2008 global financial crisis, suggesting that some corporate governance mechanisms may be less effective in constraining earnings management, but somehow the effect is moderated by the presence and the role of industry specialist auditors. Overall, the empirical findings on auditor industry specialisation seem to support the product differentiation theory, given the consistent evidence between fee premium and higher earnings quality offered by industry specialist auditors. The findings from the corporate governance analyses are consistent with the institutional theory and/or the managerial hegemony theory, as the role of board is viewed to be passive and more of ceremonial in nature during the sample period investigated. The thesis’s findings are of potential interest to policy makers, practitioners and investors as the issues relating to audit quality, earnings quality and corporate governance are pertinent for investor protection in the financial market.

Abstract:
Large accounting firms have been structuring their audit divisions along industry lines for some years. Industry specialisation is seen as a means of differentiation between otherwise similar accounting firms. At the individual level industry specialists are identified as being so designated within their firm. They spend a substantial amount of their time auditing clients in that industry. The purpose of this study is to determine what industry specialist auditors do that is different and similar when working on industry-based tasks, one of which they specialise in. Behavioural decision theory is used to investigate the differences and similarities in the decision-making processes of industry specialist and other auditors. It is known that industry specialists perform better on tasks set in their industry. The purpose of this study is to learn why. To that end, the pre-information search, information search and decision processing phases of the decision-making process are examined. It is expected that industry specialists are more efficient and effective at each stage of the decision-making process when completing a case set in the industry they specialise in. Two controlled experiments were conducted in the offices of each of the Big 4 international accounting firms. Participants included manufacturing and superannuation industry specialists from each firm. Each participant was invited to take part in both experiments, which were conducted consecutively via the internet. The first experiment comprised two cases, one set in each industry setting (manufacturing and superannuation). Participants completed both cases. The purpose of the first experiment was to conduct a within-subject examination unveiling similarities and differences between industry specialists and other auditors during the pre-information search, information search and decision processing phases of the decision-making process. Their performance on each case was also monitored and measured. Significant results were found for information search and performance. Moderate results were found for one proxy each of the pre-information search and the decision processing phases. The relationship between efficiency at each stage of the decision-making process and performance was also measured. A significant relationship was found for the pre-information search and decision processing phases. The second experiment comprised two strategic business risk tasks set in each industry setting (manufacturing and superannuation). Participants completed both sets of tasks. The purpose of the second experiment was to examine effectiveness during the pre-information search (listing key strategic business risks), information search (listing key inputs) and decision processing (listing key processes) phases of the decision-making process and their ability to identify and list key outputs (accounts and assertions) for an identified risk (technological change for the manufacturing industry task and solvency due to insufficient funding for the superannuation industry task) within each industry setting. The results were very significant overall. Industry specialist auditors were able list more key strategic business risks, inputs, processes and outputs when the task was set in the industry in which they specialise. The relationship between effectiveness at each stage of the decision-making process and performance was also measured. A significant relationship was found between effectiveness in listing key inputs and effectiveness in listing key outputs (accounts).

Abstract:
This paper analyses the South African trade data from1992 until 2006 by means of a Grubel-Lloyd index, a measurement of marginal intra-industry trade and a revealed comparative advantage (RCA) indicator. During this period a lot happened that influenced the South African trade policy, e.g. the political transition in 1994, the formation of the World Trade Organisation in 1995, the rise of China as trading power, etc. The purpose is not only to analyse the current structure of South African trade, but also to examine its structural change over time. As a result this paper shows that South Africa is principally a supplier of natural resources to both industrialised and emerging economies. With respect to its African neighbours South Africa has a more advantageous trading position. More general this paper shows that an indicator reaches significant different values, if different trading partners or industries are analysed.(author´s abstract)

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis has been to analyse the textile industry of Prato between the years 1991 and 2001. The district has been examined in terms of population, employment, firms and international trade and we have examined the industry in the region weighted against the whole Italy. Moreover, the Location quotation has been used to measure the degree of specialization. Theories about cluster and industrial districts have been utilized to give a background to agglomeration of firms. The conclusions from our analysis are that Prato consists of a large group of firms acting in similar industry in a specific location. The district is highly dominated by small firms, which are engage in the production of a homogenous product through different stages. In terms of international trade, Prato has been able to increase its exports between the years 1995 to 2001. Furthermore, our examination of Prato shows a reduction of employment and number of firms operating within the textile sector, while the degree of specialization has increased. Our inference is that this contradiction is due to the decrease of the total textile industry in the whole country.


Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att analysera textilindustrin i Prato mellan åren 1991 och 2001. Regionen har analyserats i termer av befolkning, sysselsättning, företag och internationell handel, och vi har undersökt industrin i regionen i jämförelse med hela Italien. Dessutom har en lokaliseringskvot använts för att mäta graden av specialisering. Teorier om kluster och industriella distrikt har använts för att ge en bakgrund till hopsamling av företag. Slutsatsen vi har dragit från vår analys är att Prato består av en stor grupp företag som verkar inom en liknande industri på en specifik plats. Distriktet är till stor del dominerat av små företag vilka är sysselsatta i produktionen av en homogen produkt inom olika steg av produktionen. Gällande den internationella handeln har Prato lyckats öka sin export mellan åren 1995 och 2001. Vår undersökning av Prato har även visat en minskning av sysselsättningen och antalet företag inom industrin, men samtidigt en ökad grad av specialisering. Vår slutsats är att detta något motsägelsefulla beror på en minskning av den totala textilindustrin i hela landet.

Abstract:
The Thesis is composed by three complementary research investigations on the economic and policy aspects of EU corporate R&D.Collectively, the work first reviews the theoretical and empirical literature of corporate R&D intensity decomposition; it then investigates the EU R&D intensity and its decomposition elements comparatively with most closed competitors and with emerging economies over the period 2005-2013. Finally, it inspects further some key aspects that can be associated to the EU R&D intensity gap: sectoral dynamics and the resulting sectoral and technological specialisations as well as the drivers for R&D investment growth across sectors and firms' age groups of top R&D investing firms over time. These studies also address the possible policy implications that derive from their outcomes.The investigations rely on literature as well as on company data, mainly from nine editions (2006-2014) of the EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard. For analytical purposes they use literature review, meta-analysis, descriptive statistics, R&D intensity decomposition computational approach, Manhattan distance and Technological Revealed Comparative Advantage metrics, and a multinominal logit regression model. The results of these three research works are novel in several aspects. It indicates that literature results on R&D intensity decomposition differ because of data and methodological heterogeneities, and that the structural cause is the main determinant of EU R&D intensity gap if sector compositions of the countries are considered. It inspects how the use of different data sources and analytical methods impact differently on R&D intensity decomposition results, and what the analytical and policy implications are.The empirical research results of this Thesis confirm the structural nature of the EU R&D intensity gap. In the last decade the gap between the EU and the USA has widened, whereas the EU gap with Japan has remained relatively stable. In contrast, the emerging countries' R&D intensity gap compared to the EU has remained relatively stable, while companies from emerging economies are considerably reducing such gap. Besides, as novel contribution to the state of the art of the literature, this Thesis uncovers the differences between EU and US by inspecting which sectors, countries and firms are more accountable for the aggregate R&D intensity performance of these two economies, and it finds a high heterogeneity of firms' R&D intensity within sectors. Furthermore, it shows that there is a bigger population of both larger and smaller US top R&D firms which invest more strongly in R&D than competitors, and that the global R&D investment is concentrated in a few firms, countries and industries. Finally, the research founds a slightly higher EU R&D shift over sectors compared to the US, but not strongly enough towards high-tech sectors. Also, the EU has an even broader technological specialisation than its already broad industrial R&D sector specialisation, while the USA leads by number of technological fields belonging mostly to the industrial R&D sectors of its specialisation. Furthermore, the EU has been better able than the USA and Japan to maintain its world share of R&D investment even during the years of economic and financial crisis. Lastly, the study also indicates that firms make a complementary use of capital expenditures and R&D intensity for their R&D investment growth strategies and it reveals that there are differences in their use between firms' age classes across sectors. Overall, the main results of the Thesis suggest that to reach a more positive R&D dynamics and boost its competitiveness, the EU should adapt its industrial structure and increase the weight of high R&D intensive sectors. A focus on creating the conditions for firm creation and growth in new-emerging innovative sectors is advised together with favouring the exploitation of the full capacity of EU leading - but mature - sectors to also absorb high-technology from other sectors.

Abstract:
The analysed research problem answer the question of how the changing trade conditions affect Lithuanian agricultural and food exports. The paper aims to assess the level of specialization in the agricultural and food sector exports of Lithuania. Assessment of the level of specialization was based on calculation of the trade coverage, revealed comparative advantage and intra-industry trade indi-ces and their aggregation. Empirical research covers the period of 1999–2014. The export of agricul-tural and food products of Lithuania has been positively affected by trade liberalisation and achieved the effect of synergy due to regional integration processes (membership in the EU). It is characterised by high level of specialisation; nevertheless, this does not contribute to increasing of added value in agriculture.

Abstract:
The implementation of new technology in the gas turbine industry is accelerating at a rate which demands increasing specialisation by its engineering design staff. Simultaneously, this industry has been adopting concurrent engineering practices to reduce product lead-time. Accordingly, the industry now requires its engineers to acquire early competence in a wide range of technological disciplines. In addition, the individual must have a thorough understanding of the impact of component design decisions on both other components and on the engine as a whole. Against this background, gas turbine educational providers must respond to these increasing demands with teaching programmes that facilitate a faster and deeper understanding of this very complex product. The ambition of the teacher, however, to adequately prepare the student will continue to be limited by time constraints within lecture courses. Hitherto, this has normally resulted in class worked examples which are necessarily narrow in scope and confined to a limited range of design cases. This paper describes a teaching methodology which is structured to facilitate in-depth understanding of the key interactions between aerodynamics, thermodynamics and mechanical integrity arising in axial compressor design optimisation. This is achieved interactively through a combination of lectures, a hand worked multistage preliminary compressor design, a series of personal computer based design optimisation workshops and a final collective design assessment.

Abstract:
The implementation of new technology in the gas turbine industry is accelerating at a rate which demands increasing specialisation by its engineering design staff. Simultaneously, this industry has been adopting concurrent engineering practices to reduce product lead-time. Accordingly, the industry now requires its engineers to acquire competence in a wide range of technological disciplines together with a thorough understanding of the demands of design optimisation for the whole engine. Against this background, educational providers must respond to these increasing demands with teaching programmes that enable a more rapid and deeper understanding of a very complex product. The ambition of the teacher, however, to prepare the student will continue to be limited by time constraints within lecture courses. Hitherto, this has normally resulted in class worked examples which are necessarily narrow in scope and confined to a limited range of design cases. To overcome these limitations, a portfolio of multimedia computer programs has been developed specifically for rapid and relevant learning purposes. Each is structured to facilitate in-depth understanding of the key interactions between aerodynamics, thermodynamics and mechanical integrity needed in gas turbine design and performance assessment. This paper describes an interactive teaching method for turbine design optimisation using only the multimedia turbine design and performance module. Through the example of a case study, the preliminary design of a high pressure and low pressure turbine combination is undertaken initially by hand. This first pass design leaves substantial scope for design optimisation through a series of workshops using only the software. Final design recommendations are subsequently based on comprehensive tutor led but fully interactive discussion. Particular emphasis is placed on the impact of design decisions on both the various technology issues and on the performance of other engine components.
