Propositions belonging to the thesis “Developing competitive local suppliers for the oil industry in Kazakhstan: governance, policies and institutions” by Zhanat Murzakulova
1. In oil-exporting countries fast economic growth could be decoupled from economic development due to high oil rents extracted during a commodities boom (Chapter 1).
2. In the presence of low oil prices, fostering backward linkages works as a plausible economic development strategy for oil exporters, given that lead oil firms seek sources of operational efficiency in their supply chains (Chapter 2).
3. In oil-exporting countries industrialisation is inseparable from economic diversification. The success of economic diversification is conditional on the competitiveness of local suppliers, which is driven by an enabling environment: governance, policies and institutions (Chapter 4).
4. Embedding local suppliers in the development framework should be accompanied by resource nationalism (Chapter 5).
5. Inclusion of local suppliers in the supply chain of oil operators is associated with high transaction costs for all stakeholders and cannot be left to market forces only (Chapter 6).
6. For private and state policies supporting local competitiveness and creating the entry point into supply chains of oil operators are both of equal importance (Chapter 7).
7. In order to scale up effectiveness of policies new approaches to governance are required, based on wider engagement and collaboration among stakeholders (Chapter 8).
8. Institutions suppress the entrepreneurial drive when political institutions are secondary to economic institutions (Chapter 9).
9. Industrial transformation starts with an individual transformation (Chapter 10).
10. Dynamics of unbalanced growth fails to unfold when active private and state policies are placed in an environment of uncooperative governance practices and a weak institutional framework (Chapter 10).
11. Sometimes all we need for achieving the greatest success is only a small portion of support arrived at the right time and place (Personal discovery).
