“…For example, satisfaction level of employees might also affect the degree of productivity (Nanda & Singh, 2009). Although these factors are lying on the central point of the model, the basic factors can be undermined according to their necessity or availability on selected industries (Fang, Zhou, Wang, Ye & Guo, 2018).…”

Purpose: Industry 4.0 offers a new network approach by using advanced Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and for manufacturing industries in particular. This paper analyzes the understandings of heavy manufacturing industry in Turkey about the concept of Industry 4.0 as well as its significance of in nation’s competitiveness. The study applies in Porter’s Diamond Model as a framework in order to provide a dynamic view of Industry 4.0 in nation’s competitive advantage.Design/methodology/approach: The results of semi structured interviews are examined in the framework and common understandings are compared with existing literature.Findings: The analysis indicates that, the heavy manufacturing companies are aware of the topic of Industry 4.0 in general in terms of its definition, future aspects and possible benefits and challenges. It has been observed that factor conditions (labor and capital) are the most important aspects which affect development of Industry 4.0 competitiveness in Turkey. Although the country is still in initial stage on its competitive position; the effects of the government and some chances might increase its competitiveness in the future.Originality/value: Regarding different research on Industry 4.0, this paper gives an insight in development path of Industry 4.0 competitiveness especially for the developing countries. There is still lack of empirical research on nations’ competitiveness on Industry 4.0; therefore, this paper deepens the concept for further research and action plans for the path of competitiveness.

“…In his influential, now standard, model of industrial clusters, Porter (1990) summarises the cluster determinants as a 'diamond' of interacting drivers of competitiveness: factor conditions; demand conditions; related and supporting industries; firm strategy, structure and rivalry, albeit conditioned by exogenous government and 'chance' influences. While initially proposed as an explanation of differences in national competitiveness, Porter's diamond has been applied extensively at an industry level (Fang et al, 2018;Lazzarini, 2015). Yet, while providing a very influential contribution to the understanding of international competitiveness, there are limitations in the deployment of Porter's diamond to different regional, cultural and governmental contexts.…”

Culture, attitudes and perceptions have an underappreciated effect on industrial cluster policies particularly in transition economies, where long-established local social norms are confronted with hard-pressed external imperatives. This paper examines the impact of cultural and governmental peculiarities in the Russian context on the development of special economic zones and industrial parks. Based on some stylized facts about the Russian context, in-depth interviews and surveys of the managing companies and tenants of all industrial clusters in Russia, we find cultural and governmental characteristics emerge as major influences on the effective development of industrial cluster policies. We develop an adapted industrial cluster model that accommodates these factors and suggests a policy pathway for mitigation.

Climate change has emerged as one of the most important environmental issues worldwide. As the world's biggest developing country, China is participating in combating climate change by promoting a low carbon economy within the context of global warming. This paper summarizes the pathways of China's low carbon economy including the aspects of energy, industry, low carbon cities, circular economy and low carbon technology, afforestation and carbon sink, the carbon emission trading market and carbon emission reduction targets. There are many achievements in the implementation of low carbon policies. For example, carbon emission intensity has been reduced drastically along with the optimizing of energy and industry structure and a nationwide carbon trading market for electricity industry has been established. However, some problems remain, such as the weakness of public participation, the ineffectiveness of unified policies for certain regions and the absence of long-term planning for low carbon cities development. Therefore, we propose some policy recommendations for the future low carbon economy development in China. Firstly, comprehensive and long-term planning should be involved in all the low carbon economy pathways. Secondly, to coordinate the relationship between central and local governments and narrow the gap between poor and rich regions, different strategies of carbon emission performance assessment should be applied for different regions. Thirdly, enterprises should cooperate with scientific research institutions to explored low carbon technologies. Finally, relevant institutions should be regulated to realize comprehensive low carbon transition through reasonable and feasible low carbon pathways in China. These policy recommendations will provide new perspectives for China's future low carbon economy development and guide practices for combating climate change.
