Authors : Meklati Sarah . Baroudi Mohammed .
Abstract
This study offers a critical review of classical theoretical models of competitiveness, including Porter’s Five Forces model and Diamond model, as well as the Magic Square of Competitiveness proposed by Darbelet & al. The research aims to identify the main determinants of competitiveness and assess their relevance to the Algerian port context. The methodology combines conceptual analysis with an empirical application of Diamond model and Porter’s Five Forces to the port sector, including a comparative study of Algiers port and Arzew port. The results show that port competitiveness is multidimensional, shaped by a combination of internal resources, organizational capabilities, and external environmental factors. The study also highlights opportunities for modernization, strategic development, and traffic optimization. Overall, the findings provide a structured framework for understanding port competitiveness and guiding the formulation of development strategies in a complex and evolving international environment.
