“…Porter (1990) suggested that the nature of home DCs is the second major determinant of national competitive advantage (Kuah & Day, 2005) and most motivating factor as it is related to the consumers in the home market (Gallagher, 2006). Demand conditions affect the speed and product development (Naserbakht, Asgharizadeh, Mohaghar & Naserbakht, 2008). Demand conditions are values by the society for publishing research, attracting funding and people to guarantee research (Curran, 2001).…”

The objective of this study is to identify the factors that determine the competitiveness of garment industry in Ethiopia. To achieve this, Porter's diamond model of national competitiveness was detected as a model to assess the competitiveness of the garment industry in Ethiopia. Based on conceptual framework, the study's six hypotheses were developed and tested. Six independent variables considered are: factor conditions; demand conditions; related and supporting industries; industry's strategy, structure and rivalry; role of government; and chance factors and dependent variable is competiveness. Primary data are collected by self-administered structured questionnaire from owners/general managers of industry. Totally 37 out of the targeted 38 respondents duly filled and returned the questionnaires for analysis giving response rate of 97.36 per cent. The results were presented in forms of mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation, ANOVA and regression analysis. This study finds that the composite the five independent variables accounted for 73 per cent variance for the competitiveness of garment industry in Ethiopia. The independent variables show the positive effect on predicting the dependent variable (except the demand conditions). Two factors --factor conditions and chance factors --were found to be statically significant determinants for the competitiveness of the garment industry in Ethiopia.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to measure and analyze the competitive advantage of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) based upon the Porter’s diamond framework. The major objective is to contribute toward better understanding of various determinants of the diamond model in context within Indian MSMEs. Design/methodology/approach Extent review of the literature has been done to identify various critical factors contributing to developing a competitive advantage. Exploratory factor analysis and internal consistency tests were performed to verify scales validity and reliability of measuring instrument (questionnaire). In research design, a case study approach has been used, in which MSMEs operating in the pharmaceutical, electrical and electronics, automobile, food and textile sectors were considered. Findings Study findings indicate that the pharmaceutical sector is more competitive followed by food (112.491) as revealed by the high value of surface area i.e. 150.931. The competitiveness among MSME sectors is mostly affected by demand conditions followed by firm strategy, structure and rivalry. Moreover, the score of diamond axes indicates significant difference with respect to determinants. For instance, in the textile sector, the determinants such as factor conditions and related and supporting industries scored low, for example, 4.710 and 4.280, respectively, which indicates it needs to be strengthened as this sector stands at last position with minimum surface area, for example, 67.398. Research limitations/implications Owing to the time and resource constraints, this study was conducted in MSMEs situated in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India, and thus generalizations of results are rather limited. Practical implications This study is one of the original being undertaken by authors which helps to underline the importance of various determinants which may help the MSME units to improve competitiveness by implementing effective competitive strategies. The study could be extended to other regions of the country. Originality/value This study is a result of extended research on competitiveness and provides an instrument to measure firm ability to be competitive. CEO’s, managers and policy makers from industries as well as government will be able to use this to evaluate their competitive positioning and identify key problem areas which required improvements.
