PORTER’S DIAMOND MODEL
![Page 11: Chile - The Latin American Tiger_v1 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54e342fa4a795991078b4658/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
FACTOR CONDITIONS
Factors Applicable
Skilled Labor
Infrastructure Needs Improvement
Arable Land Cannot be created
Natural Resources
Capital
Graduate Engineers & Scientists Needs to be grown
1. Very Abundant Natural Resource is an advantage2. Capital is high due to high savings through pension plans3. Skilled labor is high – everyone have high school education

OTHER ATTRIBUTES
DEMAND CONDITIONS• Home demand: Mix
and Character not matching mining industry, services match (33% of GDP)
RELATED AND SUPPORTING INDUSTRIES• Mining industry can be
supported by heavy machinery industry
• Tourism can be supported by retailing, wine industry
• (Question: Can Wine industry grow, given less arable land?)

OTHER ATTRIBUTES (contd.)
FIRM STRATEGY , STRUCTURE & RIVALRY
• Variety of firms across industries: Mining, tourism, salmon farming, methanol production – promotes competitiveness
• Sustainable commitment?
GOVERNMENT
• Regulation of Home demand – Through tariffs
• Improving Factor – Invest in education?
• Purchases – Stimulate related & supporting industries
• Firm strategy – Anti trust policy?

CONCLUSION OF DIAMOND MODEL ANALYSIS
• Chile has 2 favorable attributes – Factor conditions & Firm Strategy and Structure
• Competitive advantage based on these two attributes is possible, but not sustainable (Resource driven economy)
![Page 15: Chile - The Latin American Tiger_v1 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54e342fa4a795991078b4658/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DECISION ANALYSIS
• Joining NAFTA– May lead to increase in trade of mining industries– May have cost advantage– Not sustainable (After Copper, What?)
• Joining Mercosur– Existing Trade tariffs become obsolete– Trade with other countries may get affected– Will lead to seclusion
• Bilateral Trade Agreements– Safe option– Good for the short run

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Improve Demand Conditions in domestic market2. Improve attributes of related and supporting
industries3. Improve Education factor, promote more research
in technology which will lead to sustainable development
4. Government should facilitate the above attributesUpon the implementation of the above mentioned recommendations, Chile can think about joining NAFTA or Mercosur
