Porter’s National Diamond
‘Competitive Advantage of Nations’
BY:
Group FRANCE
HOW SOME NATIONS SUCCEED IN
INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION?
• Acc to Heckscher-Ohlin theory and Comparative Advantage theory
• E.g. A nation uses its resources very productively…
BUT HOW?
• Above theories give only Partial Explanation to the Question.
• Porter’s Diamond Model is used to solve this puzzle
• Developed in 1990, by Michael Porter of the Harvard Business School.
• Porter theorizes 4 Broad attributes – Factor Endowment, Demand
conditions, Related/Support industry, Firm Strategy and rivalry.
• Additional Variables that influence are Government and Chance
PORTER’S TWO MONOGRAPHS
Porter conducted a comprehensive study on
10 leading nations to learn what leads to
competitive advantage to nation’s.

Competitive Advantage of Nation’s
• Michael Porter* describes four keys to a nation’s
competitive advantage in relation to other countries
•
•
•
•
Factor Endowments
Demand conditions
Related and supporting industries
Firm Strategy, Structure and Rivalry.
* Popularly referred to as “Porter’s Diamond”
Porter’s Diamond
Determinants of National Competitive Advantage
Firm Strategy,
Structure and
Rivalry
Factor Endowments
Demand Conditions
Related and
Supporting
Industries
FACTOR CONDITIONS:
•
BASIC FACTORS – Natural resources, climate, location and demographics
•
ADVANCE FACTORS – Communication Infrastructure, skilled labour,
Research facilities and so on.
•
Basic factors can provide only an initial advantage
• They must be supported by advanced factors to maintain success.
E.g.
• Switzerland was the First country to experience labour shortages. They
abandoned labour-intensive watches and concentrated on innovative/highend watches.
•
Japan has high priced land and so its factory space is at a premium. This
lead to just-in-time inventory techniques.
•
Sweden has a short building season and high construction costs. These
two things combined created a need for pre-fabricated houses.
DEMAND CONDITIONS:
•
Home country Demand plays an important role in producing
competitiveness.
•
Enables better understand the needs and desires of the
customers
•
It shapes the attributes of domestically made products and
creates pressure for innovation and quality.
E.g. 1
• Italian ceramic Industry after the world war II
• There was a postwar housing BOOM !!
• Consumers wanted cool floors because of Hot climatic conditions
E.g. 2
• Japan’s knowledgeable buyers of cameras made that industry to
innovate and grow tremendously
E.g. 3
• The French wine industry. The French are sophisticated wine
consumers. These consumers force and help French wineries to
produce high quality wines.
RELATED AND SUPPORTING INDUSTRIES:
• Benefits of investment in advanced factors by Suppliers and
related industries can spill over
• Creates clusters of supporting industries, thereby achieving a
strong competitive position internationally.
E.g.1
• The enamel production unit was available.
• The glazes production was also favorable.
• These two were the main composition of producing tiles.
• This reduces the Transportation cost.
E.g. 2
• Switzerland success in pharmaceutical industry is closely
related to its international success in technical dye industry.
FIRM STRATEGY, STRUCTURE & RIVALRY:
•
Long term corporate vision (Strategy) is a determinant of success
•
Ability of the companies to develop and sustain a competitive advantage
requires the 4th attribute.
• Presence of domestic rivalry improves a company’s competitiveness
E.g. 1
• Low entry barriers to market in the tile industry
• Rivalry became very intense
• Breakthroughs in both product and process technologies
E.g. 2
• Japan has high priced land and so its factory space is at a premium
•
This lead to just-in-time inventory techniques
•
(Japanese firms can’t have a lot of stock taking up space, so to cope with
the potential of not have goods around when they need it)
•
They innovated traditional inventory techniques.
GOVERNMENT & CHANCE
• Chance Events such as major innovations, can reshape industry
structure
• Government – Policies – Can detract from or improve national
advantage
• Regulation can alter home demand conditions
• Government investment in education can change factor
endowment.
E.g.
• 1991 – US Govt – Tariff on Japanese imports of LCD screens
• APPLE and IBM – Protested strongly
•
•
Japan – The low cost LCD manufacturer
Increase the LCD screens as well as Laptops in the global market – Reduce
the Market Share.
PORTER DIAMOND’S PREDICTIONS
• Countries should be exporting products from those
industries where all four components of the
diamond are favorable.
• while importing in those areas where the
components are not favorable.
PORTER DIAMOND - CRITISICM
• Government can influence on any four components
of the diamond.
• Porter developed this paper based on case studies
and these tend to only apply to developed
economies.

Demand condition
Government
• Government full support through reform process
• Policies are in place to safeguard the interest of
service provider as well those of consumer
Example:1) Government id promoting telecom manufacturing by
providing Tax sop and establishing telecom SEZ
2) Liberal foreign investment Regime: FDI limit
increased from 49% to 74% ,rural telecom
equipment also open to large investments
3) Auction of 3G Spectrum by inviting bids
4) To safeguard consumer DOT established
TRAI,TDSAT
5) Unified access licensing regime was established
6) Number portability was proposed and still pending
7) Unified access licensing regime was established
6) Number portability was proposed and still
pending
7) Universal service obligation(USO)
8) Total FDI US$3892.19mn(1991-2007) ,3rd largest
sector to attract FDI
9) 100% FDI is permitted through automatic route in
telecom equipment manufacturing.
10) Foreign telecom companies can bid for 3G
without partnering local service provider.
Factor condition
• Presence of skilled and talented labor pool
• Rapidly developing robust telecom infrastructure
• Increasing disposable income of consumer
• Increasing demand due to changing lifestyle and
growing attraction for mobile with new features
• Low labor cost
• Country emerged as major R&D hub
Example:(1) it is estimated working age population is expected
to rise by 83% by 2026.
(2) Nokia which has set up its manufacturing
operation in India considering long term sustainable
demand for mobile telephony
Demand condition
• India has a large middle class of 300 mn
• Growing affordability and life free schemes have
created the market at the bottom of the pyramid
• Country increasing population and Low
teledensity of 19%
• Export opportunities and ensure India as a
manufacturing hub for Asia Pacific
• Huge rural population yet to be tapped(close to
100 mn come from rural area)
Example:
(1) India's upper middle class spends 6% of their
earning on telecom services
(2) ARPU for GSM user is 6.6$ per month
Firm structure, strategy and rivalry
• Series of reform opened up the economy as a result
Intensive competition in the country pop up which has
made it possible for service providers to offer service
at low fare[number of operator in circle have
increased to 5-6 ]
• Saturation in urban market so capitalizing on value
added service will enable service provider to increase
ARPU
• Many new handset have been launched.
• Merger & acquisition strategy is being followed by the
service provider in expanding their reach.
• Business alliance:-to improve cost and quality
company outsource non core activities. ex-airtel
alliance with Eriksson
• Rural penetration:- BSNL is developing
infrastructure in rural area to increase its customer
base.
Low cost strategy:-to increase customer base and
retain them many service provider adhere to this
service
Rapid innovation:-company launches new handset in
the market by developing set with new features.
Attractive designing:-this strategy is used by motorola
and established a distinct identity in the market
Competitive pricing strategy:-Motorola come up
with this strategy and aims at connecting the
unconnected to penetrate the market with
competitive pricing
Example:-(1)providing services at low fair have
been possible due to infrastructure sharing
(significant reduction in set up cost , low operating
cost , faster roll out of service)
(2) Currently private participation is permitted in all
segment of the telecom industry including
international long distance, domestic long
distance, internet etc.
(3) vodafone-hutchison telecom international
Related and supported industry
• Competent handset manufactures have produced
the low price handset for the Indian market and
India has low manufacturing cost
• Handset manufactures are setting up
manufacturing bases in India for better operation
management .[handset manufacturing market is
likely to touch US $ 7 bn by 2010]
• Many telecom and equipment and software
companies are based in India like nokia
,Samsung and telecom equipment market stood
at us $17100 million.
• Network infrastructure companies like alcatellucent, cisco, Eriksson.
• Telecom solution provider :tech mahindra,IBM etc
Network infrastructure companies like alcatellucent, Cisco, Eriksson.

Conclusions
•
The diamond of national advantage makes sense
as a means of understanding global economic
success.
•
Domestic success does prepare companies to
compete globally.
•
Major European and an increasing number of
Asian countries are capable of competing on a
global basis.
•
The global marketplace is only going to get
tougher based on more, tougher competitors.
•
The diamond can help to anticipate and
understand new competitors.
