港口竞争力研究综述

Port Competitiveness:A Structured Literature Review and Implications for Future Research

随着世界经济和国际贸易的不断发展,航运物流的地位日益显著,港口已成为交通运输系统的枢纽结点。港口之间的竞争愈演愈烈,而随着港口的功能不断拓展以及委托人对物流的要求不断变化,港口竞争力的研究范围日益扩大,指标体系不断变化。如何对港口竞争力作出正确的评估,找出港口发展的劣势及核心竞争力,直接关系到港口未来的发展空间。港口物流的发展水平不仅关系着所处区域的经济发展状况,同时也影响着区域的竞争力。因此,对港口竞争力及评价方法的研究迫在眉睫。本文以港口竞争力这一问题为研究对象,详细地对港口竞争力的重要性、发展历程及研究现状进行了综述,指出了发展中存在的问题,并归纳了评价港口竞争力的方法,总结出各方法的优缺点,并对该领域未来的研究方向进行了展望。

With the expanding of wor/d economy and international trade continuously, the role of maritime logistics in which the ports constitute the hub of the transportation system is becoming significant. As a result, the competition among the ports is becoming more intensive. However, as the function of the port is expanding and the client＂ s requirement of logistics is changing, the research scope of port competitiveness is also expanding, and so is the corresponding indicator system. How to correctly evaluate port competitiveness, to identify the pros and cons of ports matters to the future of them. In addition, the competitiveness of the ports and port logistics is tightly related to regional economy and competitiveness. Therefore, the research of the port competitiveness and evaluation method is imminently needed. This paper targets at port competitiveness, by providing a structured review of port competi- tiveness, which includes the importance, development and current research situation of port competitiveness. Research gaps and existent evaluation methods of port competitiveness are summarized which is followed by a brief outline of future research.
