“…However, there are still problems with the DDM. Although this model can be used to explain quite well the cases of countries like Canada and New Zealand, it fails to analyze the competitiveness of all other small open countries such as Korea and Singapore (Son and Kenji 2013). In fact, multinational firms from these small countries have to rely not only on domestic determinants, but also on the resources and markets internationally and especially are likely to link more with global than domestic industrial structure.…”

“…In fact, multinational firms from these small countries have to rely not only on domestic determinants, but also on the resources and markets internationally and especially are likely to link more with global than domestic industrial structure. Therefore, Moon et al (1998) developed the GDDM, which is suitable for all small open economies (Balcarová 2010; Son and Kenji 2013). …”

“…Compared to the Diamond Model of Porter (1990), this model has three important extensions: (1) incorporates the multinational activities, (2) be able to function the competitiveness paradigm which allows a comparison of size and shape of the Domestic and International diamonds and (3) fits all small open nations in which firms are likely to be concerned more with global than domestic industrial structure (Sardy and Fetscherin 2009; Son and Kenji 2013). With these extensions, this model has been proven to be more generalized and useful in analyzing international competitiveness of different countries at multi-levels, nationally or industrially.…”

“…Results from the Global Diamond of these countries pointed out that China’s automotive industry was as competitive as South Korea’s in terms of Factor Conditions, Demand Conditions and Related and Supporting Industries but was more competitive than India’s. Son and Kenji (2013) adopted the GDDM to compare international competitiveness of Korean and Japanese fashion industries based on 32 proxies for four attributes including Factor conditions, Demand conditions, Related and Supporting Industries and Firm Strategy, Structure and Rivalry. They collected secondary data from different sources of Korea and Japan in different years from 2007 to 2010, then calculated international competitiveness indexes of two nations and found out that Korea was less competitive than Japan.…”

Garment and textile (G&T) industry has been playing as a driving force for the socio-economic development of Vietnam. With the international integration process and rising challenges from the global market, there is a need to examine international competitiveness of Vietnam’s G&T industry to find out what Vietnam should focus on to enhance its position in the global market place. This paper, by using the Generalized Double Diamond Model (GDDM), analyzed international competitiveness of Vietnam’s G&T industry and compared it with China. The results showed that Vietnam was less competitive than China in all four attributes of the GDDM. The lowest competitiveness of Vietnam in comparison with China was Related and Supporting industries, followed by Factor Conditions. Therefore, the paper argued that although Vietnam should improve all of the four attributes in the long term, Vietnam must put a high priority on developing Related and Supporting Industries and then enhance Factor Conditions while maintaining its strengths over China in terms of G&T export growths and favorable business context.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s40064-016-1912-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

This study aims to survey general information from garment factories in South Korea and China, representing, respectively, a developed country and a developing country. Additionally, within the same two countries, the study surveys garment manufacturing costs, from low to high, for a both a “basic” as well as for a “detailed” blouse, pants, and jacket (total of six items), with a goal of determining of an estimation of manufacturing cost in 2018. The results showed that there were meaningful differences between South Korea and China, as expected. Significant differences were shown in the number of employees, monthly wages, effecting factors on the lowest cost price period for a year; garment manufacturing time, and manufacturing costs of basic designs and detailed designs of blouse, pants, and jacket. The results of garments cost were significantly different consistent with the quality, from low cost to high cost, and quantities, from 500 pieces or less to above 10,000 pieces. The overall cost difference between two counties was about 2.6–3.5 times greater (Korea to China). Examining the same item, the difference was larger in low quality and small or large quantity rather than high quality and medium quantity. Interestingly, pants and jackets showed the largest cost difference at quantities above 10,000 pieces. Also, for 2018 there were differences in the estimated costs between both countries. The estimated cost differences were increasing from 2013 giving the implication that future manufacturing cost could increase between Korea and China.

Purpose This paper aims to examine and compare the export performance and competitiveness of Indian and Chinese textile and clothing industry in post-multifibre arrangement (MFA) era. Design/methodology/approach Balassa’s revealed comparative advantage Index is used to assess the competitiveness of Indian and Chinese textile and clothing exports. Findings The results indicate that China’s textiles and garments sector holds a greater proportion of the global market compared with India. India has a robust comparative advantage in silk, carpets and cotton post-MFA. Vegetable textile fibers, paper yarn and woven fabrics of paper yarn are also competitive. China had a strong comparative advantage in silk and fabrics; special woven fabrics, tafted textile fabrics, lace, tapestries, trimmings and embroidery in 2005. China also recorded comparative advantage in silk, man-made filaments: strip and the like of man-made textile materials, fabrics; special woven fabrics, tafted textile fabrics, lace, tapestries, trimmings and embroidery and fabrics; knitted or crocheted in 2021. Research limitations/implications This study’s results and recommendations could assist the Indian and Chinese Governments develop policies to upgrade their garment industries. Originality/value Though vast literature reviews are available for textile and apparel export performance in India and China separately, there are few studies on comparisons. This study is a significant attempt to evaluate India and China’s competitiveness in the global market.
