Industrial progress also requires coordination of related investments among firms. In Ecuador, a country that is now a successful exporter of cut flowers, farmers would not grow flowers decades ago because there was no modern cooling facility near the airport, and private firms would not invest in such facilities without a supply of flowers for export.
产业提升也需要投资该领域的企业之间彼此协调。如今，厄瓜多尔已是一个成功的切花出口国，但在几十年前，当地农民并不愿种植花卉，因为当时机场附近没有现代化的冷藏设施；而私人公司鉴于没有出口花卉的货源供应，也不愿意投资兴建此类设施。
