Abstract: Abstract Changes in the global business environment are amplifying the impact of infrastructure on industrial performance and competitiveness. With the shift toward open markets, global trade, and internet-facilitated creation of increasingly competitive markets, firms are under pressure to enhance competitiveness. At the same time, structural changes in industrial organization – the shift from vertical integration toward complex production networks in which firms depend on each other, and the move toward lean production and just-in-time delivery systems with little room for error – make firm performance more vulnerable to poor infrastructure.128 These changes increase the cost for firms and governments of “doing nothing” about infrastructure.
