“…There are three main types of studies on discovering strategies: literature reviews, mathematical analyses, and case studies. Literature reviews usually focus on how the manufacturing industries in the BRI are portrayed by studies on topics such as trade problems, transportation, and supply chain management [40][41][42]. Such reviews are effective at discovering future directions for research but provide little on discovering strategies.…”

Manufacturers are adding service offerings to satisfy customers’ needs in various markets. Effective strategies for servitization can improve the competitiveness of manufacturers during cooperation. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) established by China offers opportunities for economic cooperation and regional integration for the involved countries. Now, many manufacturing firms are expanding their businesses into Belt and Road countries, most firms are facing the “how to do” problems in improving sustainability during their cooperation. They urgently require methodical assistance on both improving competitiveness through servitization and addressing sustainability challenges. This necessitates the firms to develop successful service models for their industrial initiatives and investigate ways to produce long-term sustainable value through services. In addition to the firm’s economic worth, it also entails lowering the project’s negative environmental impact. The results provided effective strategies for manufacturers from two perspectives. The first perspective is the study discovered innovative service models at both the product and project levels. Project-service systems are critical, and manufacturing firms should use innovative service models to deliver projects. The operation method of holistic solution and localization integration project service was addressed in particular in this study. In the second perspective, there are suggestions for achieving sustainability through innovative service models. The methods for preserving sustainable value on the industrial project level were the subject of our study, which included significant criteria and detailed descriptions. The effective project service system should bring sustainable value to the lifespan of an industrial project. This study has determined four major paths to improving sustainable value creation through servitization: improving resource allocation capabilities, reduce carbon emissions through energy project service, technological outputs, and standards exportation. Useful recommendations are provided for manufacturing firms planning to develop their business overseas, especially in BRI countries.

“…The BRI is undoubtedly one of the most ambitious logistical infrastructure projects ever conceived in all of human history (Du, 2016;Liu et al, 2018), and it has already given rise to an abundant academic literature (Chen et al, 2022;Panibratov et al, 2022). The BRI was announced by President Xi Jinping during an official visit to Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, in September 2013.…”

Logistical Foundations of China’s Global Expansion: Threat or Opportunity for the Mediterranean Area?

The Covid-19 health crisis, followed by the war between Russia and Ukraine, have highlighted the extent to which supply chains can be subject to external shocks that threaten the performance of global value chains. To cope with these disruptions and guarantee the continuity of logistical flows, China has embarked on an ambitious program to develop maritime and rail infrastructures, known as the One Belt, One Road project (or Belt and Road Initiative, BRI). This program aims to support China's strategy of global market expansion and transform the country into the world's leading power by 2049. The research note focuses on the specific case of the Mediterranean area, which has given rise to a massive investment strategy in ports under the BRI. There is a real threat that Chinese products will invade European markets, but it is possible to imagine that the BRI port facilities will also allow SMEs from the Mediterranean area to access these markets more easily. This research note proposes a reflection on the strategic issues of the BRI for the Mediterranean area in the coming years.

“…In addition, Bangladesh is a founding member of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The BRI aims to establish cooperation in five major areas: trade and investment facilitation; policy coordination; infrastructure development and connectivity; financial coordination and integration; and people-to-people ties and connectivity (Panibratov et al, 2020). The trade and investments in the BRI countries have grown in recent years.…”

The purpose of this research is to study the determinants of export, import and overall trade performance. The article employed the panel gravity model along with the analytical approaches of the fixed-effects, random-effects, Poisson Pseudo-Maximum-Likelihood (PPML) and Heckman selection models. This analysis is based on a panel data set from 1989 to 2015 (27 years) for a total of 20 selected largest leather importing partners. The findings are consistent with the Heckscher–Ohlin (H–O) theory, meaning that Bangladesh could chase for the comparative advantage in the leather industry through the effective planning and efficient utilization of its abundant population of 163 million. It is demonstrated that the wealthier nations are likely to trade in the Bangladeshi leather sector. But the key problem in the ways of trade is the presence of high trade and transport costs. Among the major causes of high-trade costs in Bangladesh are the cumbersome and complex cross-border trading practices, which also increase the possibility of corruption. Moreover, the trading of leather products is negatively influenced by the COVID-19. These problems and issues need to be addressed to facilitate Bangladesh’s leather exports. Also, Bangladesh is a founding member of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Exporting to Chinese consumer markets and using network connectivity to boost leather trade with other participating countries in the BRI would create a considerable growth potential for Bangladesh. To this end, the issue of technological developments and research innovations could be prioritized. This work provides both industrial and policy directions for future research on trade of leather products by means of an application of the gravity model. There are some methodological innovations of the model. The concluding remarks have generated some insights and lessons that would be useful in the development of leather trade across the world.
