To the extent that there is a world market for these factors of production, the situation should not be entirely different in other countries.

Push factors (e.g. rising costs in the home market, following competitors and suppliers, corporate internationalization policy) Pull factors (e.g. growth opportunities, investment opportunities in the host country, lower production costs, availability of natural resources, host government incentives) Management factors (e.g. availability of skills and knowledge needed to internationalize successfully) Chance factors (e.g. being invited to supply a customer abroad)

Africa s shift toward regional integration encourages competitiveness by distributing more effectively production factors such as inputs and equipment and by allowing greater labor mobility.

In a small state setting, imposition of a dense network of controls is likely to lead to the loss of mobile factors of production, while in a large state it is harder for labor or capital to escape.

Most genes central in this model belong to the MADS box genes and are transcription factors that regulate the expression of the genes specific for each floral organ.

Improved governance, higher food production, increased inter regional trade, debt cancellation, better use of official development assistance (ODA), and thriving telecommunications and housing markets have helped as well.

For catch up countries, like China, rapid growth is often accompanied by brisk structural change that moves factors of production, especially labor, from low productivity activities to economic sectors with much higher productivity.
