In a rapidly changing economic, social, and technological environment, the world faces multiple challenges. Countries, regions, cities, industry sectors, and even ways of life face uncertainty, volatility, complexity, and ambiguity.
These challenges demand holistic solutions. The world is characterized by huge differences in economic performance across locations, including those both across and within countries.
Over the last 25 years, Professor Michael E. Porter has developed a robust framework for understanding how competitiveness, the ability of firms operating in a specific location to compete successfully in the global economy while supporting high and rising living standards for the location’s citizens, is critical for explaining these differences in economic performance.

The Emergence of the MOC Network
The MOC Affiliate Network was established to create local capacity to understand, teach, and upgrade competitiveness.
A network provides a highly scalable structure to achieve global impact. The Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at Harvard Business School became the hub of this structure; with the framework developed by Professor Porter as the foundation.
It generated teaching materials and a platform for disseminating these materials, organized an annual workshop to "teach the teachers", and encouraged collaboration among the network members.
MOC affiliates can draw on the course curriculum, a broad range of teaching materials, including teaching cases, teaching notes, concept lectures, and taped lectures by the government and private sector leaders from countries and regions covered in the cases.
The MOC Course is the core offering of the MOC Network
MOC Network enables faculty at affiliated universities to teach, research and generate impact.
Sharing a basic initial MOC course based on Harvard Business school cases studies of different countries.
MOC course has created one of the biggest alumni network for the understanding of competitiveness for an inclusive, sustainable and prosper better world.
The Network structure leverages faculty collaboration on teaching, case development, and transformative research while informing public policy to enhace economic and social progress.
Professor Michael E. Porter has developed a framework for understanding how competitiveness and social progress is critical for explaining these differences in economic performance and how to develop an economic cluster strategy.
Focus on strategy, competitiveness, and prosperity to provide solutions to societal problems.
The aim is to develop knowledge that influences best practices and decision-making in today's businesses, institutions, governments, and communities.
The MOC course shares a competitiveness framework from an applied microeconomic perspective.
This basic framework is enriched by contributions, experiences, and adaptations to diverse realities throughout the world.
We offer a differentiated proposal for all key actors interested in playing an active role in the transformation of their firms, regions, and institutions involved in any transformational process.
