摘要

摘要近年来，海运业集群作为一种战略性的全球和区域经济竞争力政策工具，因其区位协同效应和集聚经济而受到关注。众所周知，尼日利亚海事部门拥有一个庞大的行业，其中包括航运和物流公司、造船厂、船舶顾问以及一系列具有海事职能的其他公司、机构和协会。然而，对这个重要集群的结构特征和环境动态一无所知。本文利用对研究和概念模型的批判性和元分析评论，首次从集群角度探讨了尼日利亚海运业，并以尼日利亚微观经济表现的基础竞争力为基础。它进一步广泛地评估了尼日利亚商业环境的质量，突出了决策中战略远见的挑战和机遇。针对集群的具体特点提出了有针对性的建议，以提高集群的竞争力。

Nigerian Maritime

Abstract Maritime industry clustering has in recent years gained attention as a tool for strategic global and regional economic competitiveness policies, owing to their co-location synergies and agglomeration economies. The Nigerian maritime sector is known to have a large industry, which comprises shipping and logistics firms, shipyards, ship consultants and a suite of other firms, institutions and associations with maritime functions. However, nothing is known about the structural characteristics and environmental dynamics of this significant cluster. This article, capitalising on a critical and meta-analytic review of studies and conceptual modelling, explores for the first time the Nigerian maritime industry from a cluster perspective, underpinned by the foundational competitiveness of Nigerian microeconomic performance. It further evaluates broadly the quality of the Nigerian business environment, highlighting the challenges and opportunities for strategic foresight in decision-making. Targeted recommendations predicated on cluster-specific characteristics are provided to improve cluster competitiveness.
