Clusters, cluster policy and competitiveness: case of Dubai's free zones cluster

A competitive economy - aims to - utilise its factor endowments in the most efficient manner to achieve productivity in a more sustainable and inclusive manner. In Dubai, UAE, a profound drive to achieve economic diversification and create a competitive knowledge-based economy has been evident in the past 30 years. This study looks into the economic competitiveness of the Dubai free zones clusters. SWOT analysis of the business environment and Global Indices were explored to support the argument on the UAE's potential for cluster creation. The Porter's Diamond Model helped assess the competitiveness of the free zones clusters. A cluster map was designed on one of the free zone clusters as a case study to gauge its competitiveness and study value chain components. Based on these analyses; several challenges and policy gaps were identified. Recommendations include, establishing a Federal Free Zone Authority along with enriching private sector partnerships with the public agents to maximise cluster policy benefits.

The Michael Porter Diamond approach. Level of international competitiveness of the Mennonite cheesemaking industry in Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, Mexico

Faced with globalization and its impacts on the promotion of trade, local consumers gained access to international brands and entrepreneurs were able to offer their goods and services in other climes, translating into an economic benefit. Unfortunately, many artisanal businesses, such as the cheesemakers of Cuauhtémoc in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, do not enjoy these same effects, as they fail to implement technical processes or marketing strategies and their commercial vulnerability increases as a result. This study employed Michael Porter’s diamond model to assess this industry in terms of its competitiveness. The research is mixed: 26 cheesemakers were sampled, three experts in the field were interviewed, and the data was analyzed using SPSS software. It is concluded that the cheese cluster presents weaknesses in the relationships with suppliers and in the marketing networks, while a notable strength is the high product quality. Given these findings, an intercultural negotiation strategy between the various actors is proposed in order to maximize the potential of this distinctive regional product.

ANALISIS DAYA SAING EKSPOR KOPI SUMATERA SELATAN DI PASAR ASEAN

Plantation is one of the most important and strategic sub-sectors in the socio-economic life of the people in South Sumatra Province. South Sumatra has a high amount of coffee production compared to other provinces, but in reality the average number of exports is not still relatively small compared to the results of its production. Descriptive research with a qualitative method was conducted intensively, in which researchers participated in the field, and conducted a comprehensive analysis of various documents found in the field. Primary data were obtained through interviews and observations, while secondary data were obtained from books, journals, reports, from various relevant agencies and from credible websites. Then, coffee export competitiveness is analyzed with Diamond Porter's Theory guidelines and strategy analysis with Porter's Generic Strategy. This study found that South Sumatra has competitive advantages including conditions with supporting natural resources so that the amount of production is abundant, but needs to be supported by factor conditions, more adequate infrastructure, such as access to plantation roads and seaports as access to export trade, and Improving the formulation of clear trade management policies. The strategy used to increase the competitiveness of South Sumatra coffee exports, namely by creating superior products in terms of differentiation, namely creating quality and different coffee, was built by creating a team of quality and integrity workers so as to create quality production from upstream to downstream, and offers competitive prices, so as to increase the competitiveness of South Sumatra coffee exports.

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.

Competitiveness Analysis of Indonesian Pepper in International Market

Indonesia is one of the world's largest pepper producing countries and most of Indonesia's pepper production is exported abroad. Apart from the superiority of Indonesia's natural resources, namely as a country with the second-largest area of pepper cultivation, now competition between countries cannot be measured only by the number of exports it owns. The existence of synergy between countries in producing a product with high economic value is evidence of trade integration between countries. This study aims to analyze the comparative advantage of Indonesian pepper compared to Vietnam, Brazil, India, and Malaysia, to analyze the competitive advantage of Indonesian pepper, and to analyze the value chain of Indonesian pepper. This study used a sample of five countries, namely Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil, India, and Malaysia. This research used quantitative and qualitative research approaches. The methods used in this research used Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Porter's Diamond Theory, and value added analysis. The analysis results show that the five competing countries have a comparative advantage over pepper; Indonesia has a competitive advantage in conditions of natural resource factors. Indonesia's participation in the global value chain is declining. The main focus of the government in 2020 is on the input, production, capital, and market sides. Keywords: comparative advantage, competitive advantage, pepper, value added, value chain.

The Competitiveness of Indonesian Cashew Nuts in The Global Market

Indonesia is one of the best quality cashew nut producers and exporters with a 1.2% share in the global market. This is very far from being compared to Vietnam as the world's main exporter of cashew nut controlling 34.07% of the global export market. This study aims to determine the competitive and comparative advantages of cashew nuts from Indonesia and Vietnam in the international market at 2009-2018. The various differences between the two countries make the products produced and distributed vary in quality and quantity. Competitive advantage is analyzed using Porter's diamond theory which consists of four factors to see the competitive advantage of an industry/country. Meanwhile, to determine the comparative advantage of cashew nut trading activities, the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Trade Specialization Index (ISP) were calculated. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be seen that Indonesia has an advantage in producing cashew nuts, but has not been able to process it optimally, such as Vietnam which applies special technology and standards in producing cashew nuts. The RCA calculation shows that Vietnam's cashew nut exports have much greater competitiveness than Indonesia, and the ISP calculation results show that both exporters are still importing to maintain the economy and ensure the availability of industrial raw materials in the global market. Trade-related policies need to be considered in order to increase export profits and benefit domestic business actors

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.

Assessing the Competitiveness in Regional Marketing

Increasing market competition requires the examination of marketing methods and tools in territorial management. Place marketing has been developing with some delay compared to value marketing, as it emerged later, shaping its theoretical and practical basis accordingly. We analyse methods for assessing territorial competitiveness in the context of place marketing. The research methodology includes methods of monitoring, comparison, analysis, synthesis, and benchmarking. The study of the evolution of ideas concerning competitiveness and place marketing revealed three important marketing concepts: production, product and selling. We analysed methods for assessing the competitiveness at the local territory, city, region, and country levels. These methods form the basis for ratings. Th e dat a o n th e competitivenes s o f territorie s allo w stat e an d loca l authoritie s to choose a marketing (demarketing) strategy depending on the desired level of influence. We propose a model of competitiveness of the state identifying the Porter diamond at the country level. This model complies with modern marketing concepts and indicates that the effectiveness of place marketing depends on public administration, the position of the country in the system of international relations, and international influence on the socio-economic processes in the state. The development of global digital economy should enable data collection to improve the decision-making process. Thus, it will be possible to regulate the administrative staff, coordinate and use data on the functioning of territories, create additional opportunities for ranking countries in accordance with available resources, socio-economic development and relationships with the population. These measures would ensure permanent competition in the field of place marketing.

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.

From the results of the analysis, it can be seen that cilembu sweet potato agribusiness in Cilembu Village, Pamulihan District, Sumedang Regency, West Java has not had a competitive advantage because the linkages of competitiveness determinants that do not support each other are more dominant in this study. Only one of the six pairs of main components support each other, namely: the condition of the resource factor supports each other with the related Industry and the supporting industry, while the other main components do not support each other. The interaction of supporting components supports each other in several aspects, including the role of the government in mutually supporting the conditions of resource factors as well as related industries and supporting industries, while the opportunity component supports three main components, namely: related industries and supporting industries, demand conditions, and competition, structure. and strategy.

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.
