Abstract:

Nowadays, the concept of competition is more a concept at the firm level but now has begun to be addressed at national level. Competitive conditions within a variable structure and the globalization have revealed the necessity of the implementation of new methods in terms of analyzing the competitive advantage for a nation. In this context, Michael E. Porter, constitutes a comprehensive survey of the work and Diamond Model that are being demonstrated. The Model is trying to answer "why some nations are more competitive than others in certain sectors" and foresees to examine the strength of the national competition in a particular sector and some elements in relation to each other. The purpose of this study is the evaluation of “Diamond Model” approach which was imparted to the literature by Porter on competitive advantage of nations and criticism of the model.
