The Soft Power of Culture: Economics Consideration Based on the Perspective of “Three Forces” of Culture

Focusing on “three forces” of cultural productivity, cultural competitiveness and cultural soft power, the paper considers “three forces” of culture from an economics perspective by constructing a linkage mechanism model of “three forces” of culture. From cultural resources to cultural capital into cultural productivit y, cultural productivity can be optimized through the balance between supply and demand. Then, the paper analyzes the construction of cultural competitiveness from perspective of cultural inheritance and innovation affecting the balance between supply and demand, efficiency. Combined with Michael Porter Diamond Model, it analyzes six factors that affect “three forces” of culture, such as enterprise strategy, related industries, demand conditions, production factors, opportunities and government. Therefore, “three forces” of culture mechanism aims at realizing the linkage mechanism of cultural economic value, cultural mechanism and social value, thus enhancing cultural soft power and national image.

China's logistics green competitiveness promotion path: a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis approach.

Increasingly serious environmental problems are forcing many industries to gradually turn to green development, and green competitiveness has become the vision of policymakers and industry practitioners. The impact of the development of the logistics industry on the environment cannot be ignored, but the promotion path of its green competitiveness has not been fully studied. Based on Porter's diamond model, this study uses fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to explore the condition configuration of the logistics industry in 30 provincial regions in mainland China to enhance green competitiveness and effectively combine theory with practice. Factors considered include logistics technology innovation ability, logistics market demand, proportion of tertiary industry, management level of logistics enterprises, environmental regulation, and the internet. The results show that the green competitiveness of the logistics industry is influenced by many factors and cannot be sufficiently explained by a single factor. The findings point to three paths with equal authenticity to improve the green competitiveness of the logistics industry. By comparing the same types of high configuration and low configuration, this study finds that environmental regulation is an important external driving force for regions with low added value of output products, and for regions with certain geographical advantages and numerous logistics enterprises, in addition to the management level of logistics enterprises, support from the internet is also particularly important in improving the green competitiveness of logistics. These findings can provide a practical reference for the promotion of green competitiveness in the logistics industry in different regions.

As a new economic form after its maturation phase as part of the third industry, exhibition economy has been going through rapid development globally. The role of the exhibition industry in economic development is obvious in the West that some scholars put forward the concept of "exhibition economy".Guided by the relevant principles of economics, this article analyzes the current situation of the exhibition economy in China and Germany by reviewing the development of the exhibition economy. The Porter diamond model analyzes the development influencing factors of exhibition economy. Finally, on the basis of learning from the experience of Germany exhibition economy, it puts forward some suggestions to promote the sustainable development of China’s exhibition economy. China’s current exhibition economy is improving rapidly, and the construction of exhibition halls is in full swing. However, compared with the exhibition economic development situation in Germany, there are still many deficiencies. These shortcomings are also the factors that affect the development of the exhibition economy. Now we need to adhere to the road of green exhibition development and integrate the Internet and the exhibition economy. Improve relevant laws and regulations, and cultivate more exhibition professionals. Only in this way can we promote the better development of exhibition economy in China.

Smallholder sheep farmers’ perception of production constraints and competitiveness strategies in South Africa

Sheep production in South Africa has experienced some growth though very slow, and as such production cannot meet demand in the local market. This study aimed to determine the factor influencing the competitiveness of smallholder sheep farmers’ and constraints faced by sheep farmers in South Africa. A farm-level cross-sectional data of 217 smallholder livestock farmers in South Africa were used to identify the factors influencing the competitiveness of smallholder sheep farmers in South Africa. The Porter's Diamond Model Framework was used to measure the competitiveness of sheep production in the study areas and principal component analysis was applied to assess the constraints faced by sheep farmers. The study results found that smallholder sheep farmers in the study area are faced with numerous production constraints, which inhibit their productivity and competitiveness. The most severe constraints include marketing, stock theft, lack of capital, diseases and parasite, and high feed cost. The study suggest that smallholder sheep farmers in the study areas can be competitive and experience growth through the creation of agribusiness enabling environments by promoting policies and strategies that will boost investments in sheep production across the value chain.

The role of institutions in sustaining competitive bioeconomy growth in Africa – Insights from the Nigerian maize biomass value-web

Recently, many developing countries have implemented several bioeconomy plans to transform their rural economies and improve food security at local, national, and regional levels. Yet, there are limited success stories and examples of a competitive bioeconomy in Africa while levels of poor and food food-insecure populations remain high. Drawing on the novel concepts of biomass value-web, national innovation system and Porter's Diamond model, this paper analyses the emerging biomass opportunities and institutional challenges limiting sustainable bioeconomy growth in Africa. Using the Nigerian maize sector as a case study, qualitative data obtained from 54 stakeholders through 14 interviews, six focus group discussions, and six Net-maps served as a foundation for our network and content analyses. Results revealed numerous opportunities to further upgrade the current maize biomass value-web. However, the challenges of low farm productivity, inadequate infrastructure, low biomass demand and utilization by industrial firms at the mid-stream, deficient innovation and support systems and inconsistent government plans pivoted on several institutional challenges such as weak and uncoordinated institutional arrangements and an unfavorable institutional environment to limit competitive bioeconomy growth in the sector. The study concludes that important institutions in various innovation subsystems would need to actively perform harmonizing activities within a favorable institutional environment before competitive bioeconomy growth can be attained in Africa.

Competitiveness Analysis of Korean Film and Television Industry Based on Michael Porter Diamond Model

Since the end of the last century, the rise of the Korean film and television industry has driven the development of other Korean industries and formed a linkage effect. At the same time, the Korean film and television industry has also allowed Korean film and television products to go out of the country to Asia and the world, setting off a "Korean Wave" craze. Starting from Michael Porter Diamond Model (MPDM), this paper discusses the current situation of the Korean film and television industry and discusses the competitiveness and influence of the Korean film and television industry from the five dimensions of production factors, demand conditions, related supporting industries, market strategies, and government support. These bring some inspiration for other researchers.

Global hierarchy of maritime clusters: Stability and reconstruction

In contrast to traditional research that is limited to individual maritime clusters, a holistic perspective is employed in this study to investigate the global hierarchy of maritime clusters. To conceptualize the global hierarchical stability of maritime clusters, Porter's diamond model is used to develop a general analytical framework and both empirical and theoretical analyses are conducted. The results of empirical analyses indicate that the global hierarchy of maritime clusters tends to remain stable. And the following conceptual discussions attribute such stability to historical effects, weakening prerequisite effects, and game effects. Further theoretical analysis reveals that governance restructuring, a novel innovation type, can disrupt the global hierarchical stability of maritime clusters and facilitate the leapfrog development of emerging maritime clusters.

Airbnb and micro‐entrepreneurship in regional economies: Lessons from Australia

AbstractHaving begun as a short‐term rental platform in major cities, Airbnb has now extended to many remote and regional areas of Australia. One effect of this spread has been disruption to the conventional rental industry, which stimulates micro‐entrepreneurship in local communities directly through short‐term accommodation and indirectly through related industries. Given Australia’s core–periphery settlement structure, resulting from the country’s historical development, disruption through entrepreneurship has relatively more potential in remote and regional areas. This article uses the Porter diamond model to explain how Airbnb‐led micro‐entrepreneurship interacts with territorially embedded socioeconomic characteristics across regional and remote Australia. Drawing on Airbnb data for Australia between 2014 and 2018 at the scale of regional labour markets, we use a quantile regression model to explain the association between Airbnb‐led micro‐entrepreneurship and four distinct structural dimensions between metropolitan and non‐metropolitan regions. The analysis provides evidence that non‐metropolitan regions have certain stronger competitive advantages for attracting Airbnb‐led micro‐entrepreneurship compared with metropolitan regions, particularly across regional cities and in areas associated with mining, agriculture, and tourism. We conclude that policymakers should weigh concerns relating to peer‐to‐peer accommodation in major metropolitan regions against the purported benefits to peripheral regions.

ENERGY TAX AND THE DOWNSTREAM PALM OIL TRADE COMPETITIVENESS NEXUS IN MALAYSIA: AN APPLICATION OF GMM APPROACH

This paper analyses the impact of energy tax imposed in European Union countries on Malaysia's downstream palm oil trade competitiveness. The competitiveness factors consist four major attributes adopted from Porter Diamond Model (PDM) framework introduced by Porter (1990) that determine the national competitiveness and analyses using the dynamic generalized method of moments (GMM) proposed by Arellano and Bond (1991). The study utilizes yearly data spanning from 2009 until 2016. The results indicate that energy taxes have positive and significant influence on Malaysia's trade competitiveness of palm oil downstream products (oleochemicals, biodiesel and palm-based finished products) and the result also suggests that all the main factors of PDM (i.e factor condition; demand condition; firm strategy and rivalry; and related supporting industry) significantly influence the competitiveness of the industry. The policy recommendation remains that, in order for Malaysia to improve the competitiveness of palm oil downstream industries, producers need to ensure that the country's palm oil production is sustainable, which is stipulated by international agreements, especially in EU countries, where environmental sustainability is their main concern.Keywords: Competitiveness, Palm Oil Downstream, Energy tax, Porter Hypothesis, DGMMJEL Classifications: A11, Q02, R11DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.11558

Regression Analysis of the Impact of Guangdong Province's Tertiary Industry on Export Trade Based on the Diamond Model

With the advent of the era of big data, data analysis can objectively explain many events and behaviors with scientific results. China is actively promoting the development of the service industry and opening up to the outside world. Guangdong is the largest foreign trade province. It is of great significance to analyze the impact of the tertiary industry on the export trade by means of data analysis. Based on Michael Porter diamond model, the data of six variables from 2010 to 2019 are selected under the collection of a large number of data, such as the number of employment in the tertiary industry, research and development expenditure. Unit root test and co-integration test are used to analyze.At last, using the method of stepwise regression, the regression equation model of Guangdong Province’s export trade volume under the influence of the tertiary industry is established. Through the model, it is concluded that the research expenditures and development level of the tertiary industry can significantly promote the export trade of goods in Guangdong Province, and then improve the competitiveness of export trade. In addition, this paper also stands on the perspective of the tertiary industry, for the development of commodity export trade in Guangdong Province to put forward relevant suggestions.

A web text mining approach for the evaluation of regional characteristics at the town level

AbstractThe evaluation of regional characteristics can reveal the advantages of local industries that are significant to guide regional industrial restructuring and industrial layout. Detailed guidance requires fine‐grained evaluations of the regional characteristics, especially at the town level, since towns are the locations of industry. Existing evaluation methods, such as the location quotient and the Porter diamond model, depend on statistical data to compare the advantages of regional characteristics in different regions. Statistical data have fixed statistical items and spatial units that limit the content and granularity, respectively, of the evaluation. In existing methods, non‐covered industries and under‐counted units, especially at the town level and below, result in incomplete descriptions of the regional characteristics. In contrast, web text in the current internet era contains numerous descriptions of regional characteristics. Therefore, web text can potentially be used to evaluate these characteristics. This article proposes a novel web‐based method for the evaluation of regional characteristics (WERC). According to the features of the regional characteristics of the town in the web texts, the WERC method uses the term frequency method to extract the typical characteristics of the region by crawling text on websites and compares the relative advantage of the typical characteristics between different regions to determine the outstanding regional characteristics. WERC is used in a case study to evaluate the regional characteristics of 1,090 towns in Fujian Province, China, obtaining high precision (0.946) and recall (0.895). Unlike existing methods, the proposed method provides comprehensive quantitative town portraits to describe the regional characteristics. The town portrait not only shows the advantages of the typical characteristics of the town, but also quantifies the advantages using a ranking of the typical characteristics. The results can guide regional industrial restructuring and industrial layout and provide a novel approach for the evaluation of regional characteristics based on web text.

A Study on the Teaching Strength of International Young Chinese Teachers from the Porter Diamond Model

In recent years, as Chinese has spread to the world, the development of Chinese international education has shown a good trend. Teachers' teaching strength as comprehensive ability literacy, is essential for improving the quality of young international Chinese teachers. From the perspective of the Porter Diamond Model, analyzing the teaching strength of young international Chinese teachers from the four key elements: analysis of factor conditions analysis of demand conditions organizational structure and opportunities. Finding that there are three defects in the teaching process of young international Chinese teachers: lack of teaching motivation, Lack of ability in teaching research and application of results, and lack of innovation in teaching. It is believed that the teaching strength of young international Chinese teachers needs to be improved from the combination of teacher learning and reflection teaching, the combination of knowledge-action and curriculum reform, and the combination of teacher training and scientific evaluation.

The Italian Wine Sector: Evolution, Structure, Competitiveness and Future Challenges of an Enduring Leader

The Italian wine supply chain has performed well in recent decades both in terms of profitability and success on the domestic and international markets. This is despite the fact that it is fragmented in terms of products, prices and consumption context, and, in particular, despite the fact that it is characterised by an organisation that hinders the full exploitation of economies of scale. This paradox has not been investigated in literature. We propose several elements in support of the hypothesis that the Italian wine sector’s success is linked to favourable elements of the Porter Diamond Model (5 out of 6) but also to the “district” nature of a large part of the sector. The presence of numerous networks, some of which are formal and others informal, gives most Italian local production systems specialising in grapes and wine the characteristics of industrial districts, due to the local social capital that is stratified there. These networks include operators such as Cooperatives and Consorzi di Tutela, upstream and downstream industries and services, tourism, research and educational bodies. Such networks can overcome the weakness represented by the low concentration and small average size of the operators. To support this hypothesis, we analyse the historical evolution of the sector and its drivers, the structural features of the different phases of the wine chain (grape growing, winemaking, bottling and distribution), the market relationships within the chain and the national and European policies favouring the sector. This analysis also underlines the differences between the Italian sector and its competitors from the Old and New World.

Analysis of Competitive Strategy to Create Sustainable Competitive Advantages Seen From the Nine Factor Model and Bacos Treacy Model

This paper seeks to examine the importance aspects of strategy and information technology to create sustainable competitive advantage. Various discussions about aspects of the strength of competition, information technology, and competitive strategies by the researchers were previously analyzed. This study seeks to design a conceptual framework about the important role of strategy and information technology in creating sustainable competitive advantage. Various scientific articles from leading journals are reviewed again, especially articles that discuss about strategies (such as the theory of Porter Diamond Model and development). Based on various previous studies, a conceptual model was built to include various relationships between important concepts that are related. In the context of creating sustainable competitive advantage, aspects of The Nine Factor Model and Bakos-Treacy Theory have a significant role in pushing Sustainable Competitive Advantage. In addition, the two concepts are ultimately useful for building creativity, the creation of value, and competitive culture in each organization. This study seeks to design an integrated conceptual framework about the important role of strategy, innovation, and information technology in creating sustainable competitive advantage based on a recent literature review. Therefore, the conceptual framework that is built needs to be reviewed, strengthened, and continued with other empirical studies.

Analiza faktora od uticaja na konkurentnost domaćeg meda

The aim of this paper is to determine the competitiveness of domestic honey and analyze the factors of influence, in order to create an adequate strategy for maintaining and strengthening the competitive position. The research is based on the analysis of results from the scientific-professional literature and statistical reports, calculation of economic indicators, comparative method and other general scientific methods. Porter's diamond model is used, as a basis for analyzing the competitiveness of honey. Domestic honey, as a traditional food product, is competitive. Data on honey exports and imports are a true indicator of the high competitiveness of honey. Namely, out of the total value of foreign trade in honey, almost 98 % refers to exports. The favorable competitive position of honey is primarily the result of low production costs, based on cheap raw materials and labor. In order to maintain a solid competitive position of honey, it is necessary to diversify the range, differentiate the offer, branding, quality standardization, innovative technology, education of producers, raising production efficiency, better use of comparative advantages, stimulating research and development projects, financial incentives, association of producers, etc. However, in order to survive in the international market, adequate marketing and technological strategies need to be developed and implemented.

Analysis on Export Competitiveness of Chinese Chemical Products

First of all, this paper summarizes the research progress of international Chemicals which are a kind of products that cannot be ignored in people’s life and production. Under the call of national policy of fine chemical and green chemical industry, in recent years, China’s chemical products output ranks the top in the world, and the export trade grows rapidly, but the export of domestic chemical products keeps a deficit in foreign trade. In the face of complex and changeable international competition and foreign trade situation, it is helpful for the sustainable and healthy development and progress of domestic economy to comprehensively analyze and elaborate the structure, competitiveness and related influencing factors of China’s chemical export. This paper analyzes the research and development of international competitiveness and constructs the research framework and main research methods of this paper. Based on the research results of international competitiveness at home and abroad, the evaluation system of export competitiveness of Chinese chemicals is constructed. Secondly, this paper analyzes the export status of domestic chemicals and related manufactured products from the main body of chemical exports, chemical exports and chemical export regions. This paper analyzes the international competitiveness level of chemical products in China by using the international market share, dominant comparative advantage index and trade competitiveness index. The results show that at present, China’s chemical products are still very lack of international competitiveness. In order to further analyze the factors that affect the competitiveness of chemical manufacturing industry, based on Porter diamond model and previous research results, this paper establishes a multiple regression model, and analyzes the impact of four indicators of capital, scientific research and innovation level, industrial concentration and scale economy on the international competitiveness of chemical manufacturing industry. Finally, based on the results of empirical analysis, this paper puts forward suggestions to improve the export competitiveness of domestic chemicals and related manufactured goods.
