Achievement

8. I have been criticized by some academics for inconsistent
logical argument in my assertions. Critics have also
labelled Porter's conclusions as lacking in empirical
support and as justified with selective case studies.
Criticism

9. I argues that a sophisticated domestic market is an
important element to producing competitiveness. I argues
that a set of strong related and supporting industries is
important to the competitiveness of firms. Domestic
capital markets affect the strategy of firms.
