On the one hand, the substitution of domestic goods with foreign imports leads to a leakage of potential revenues from domestic demand to foreign producers. Furthermore, a decline in global prices of domestic export goods results in a reduction of aggregated income in the domestic economy (UNIDO, 2017b). In general, countries with a high export product concentration (i.e. they only export a limited number of goods) are particularly vulnerable to a volatile global market. Good managerial practices and access to reliable market information (domestic and global) are crucial for jumpstarting industrial expansion along the structural transformation path. One precondition for successful technological upgrading within firms and factories is the development of the general skill set of workers.
