What is the intention of promoting provincial competitive advantage? How to evaluate the efficiency of a locality at province level?, etc remain unclear Hence, the author would like to theoretically unravel the above issues Practically, Da Nang is among the few provinces that have the most rapid development in Vietnam In the course of developing, Da Nang is considered having more potential, superior strengths over other coastal provinces in central Vietnam How these strengths have been promoted and whether it is effective or not, though, have not been under appropriate research In the coming time, it is urgent that those strengths, advantages are promoted appropriately to make this city the real “the city worth living the most in Vietnam” in the context of globalization, the influence of the 4.0 industrial revolution and the economic integration With that context considered, the author has chosen the topic “Promoting Competitive Advantage, Economic Development in Da Nang City to 2030” as his Economic Management doctoral thesis topic Thereby contributing to clarifying theoretical issues, providing a practical scientific basis for Da Nang city, as well as planning policies to promote competitive advantages for the more efficient and sustainable economic development An overview of related studies 2.1 An overview of previous studies that are related to competitive advantage 2.1.1 Competitive advantage Typical studies on this issue include: Competitive advantage , M E The Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance NY: Free Press, 1985 (Republished with a new introduction, 1998.); OECD Report (2008) – The OECD Investment Committee; Brault (2005) Competition law policy and practice of the French Republic; Medalla (2005), Competition Policy in East Asia; Nga, D.T (2012) Research on Competitive Advantage of Coffee Products on the Economic Organizations in Dak Lak; Nguyen Xuan Hiep's Ph.D thesis (2011) also assesses the competitive advantage of an industry (supermarket) in a locality (Ho Chi Minh City); Tran Si Cuong (2007) in the research paper Discussing competitive advantages; The doctoral dissertations of Nguyen Van Hoi (2016), Nguyen Van Thuy 2015), Tran Thi Anh Thu (2012) have all initially studied and clarified the theoretical issues of competitive advantages and competitiveness These studies have been carried out on a specific field, product, stage Their contribution to the theorization, clarification of the issues in current conditions are huge but not enough for the making of creative competitive advantage strategy for a specific locality 2.1.2 National competitive advantage Typical studies on this issue include: Porter (1990) argued that Competitive advantage is divided into many levels Porter has outlined the competitive advantage at the national level that can be applied to the regional, state and city levels, which means it is feasible to expand the concepts and research tools from the national level to the smaller level of the geographical area This theory has also expanded in the form of connection of larger countries and geographic regions The Report on competitive policy of nations in OECD (1992); P.Krugman (1994); Theory of comparative advantage of D.Ricardo; H-O1 model explains international trade; Tran Van Tung (2004) in the book of Economic Competition; Nguyen Thi Tue Anh (2011), journal on competitiveness The above studies have shown that the world's leading scientists see the same problem from different perspectives This is very normal for scholars and social science issues, suggesting that even controversial arguments are good for the development of science 2.1.3 Competitive advantage at the provincial level The typical studies on this issue include: M.Porter (1990) has mentioned the argument in his book, The Competitive Advantage of Nations, that a national competitive advantage can the same and apply it to regional, state and city levels; R.M.Smit in the study of the city of Rotterdam; Kotler, P., Jatusripitak, S., & Maesincee, S (1997) The Marketing of Nations: A Strategic Approach to Building National Wealth Free Press.; Vu Thanh Tu Anh (2008) in the Regional

Construction and Development of Da Nang City in the period of industrialization and modernization of the country; Provincial capacity index of Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry 2.2 Overview of promoting competitive advantage for economic development Typical studies on this issue include: P.Koter (1985) in Marketing of Nations; J Robinson and D.Acemoglu (2013) in Why Why Nations Fail; M.Porter (1998) in the national competitive advantage; W.Easterly (2001) in the book "The search for etiology increases"; Vu Thanh Tu Anh (2005), in economic decentralization work in Vietnam from an institutional perspective; Nguyen Thi Tue Anh (2011) studied the factors that constitute competitive advantages; Some other studies mention policies in general such as policies to attract foreign investment, industrial park development policies, or the effectiveness of public administration; Da Nang City People's Committee (2018) in the report of Da Nang socio-economic development master plan to 2035; Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Da Nang City (2011) in the topic of scientific research on solutions to develop tourism human resources in the period of 2011-2015, with a vision to 2020; The Department of Science and Technology of Da Nang City (2012) in the scientific research project to identify knowledge workers is a factor that needs to be promoted in the process of economic development In the current economic development curricula, also mention the resources and motivation for economic growth But all that must be expressed firstly in terms of national policy, even the role of the national head That is more important than resources or countries with abundant resources 2.3 An overview of evaluation on competitive advantage promotion The typical studies on this issue are as follows: D.Acemoglu and J Robinson (2012) in the work of why nations fail; J.E.Stiglitz and S.Yusuf (1999) in the work of Investigating into East Asian countries' miracles; The National Report 2035, Ministry of Planning and Investment (2016) It can be seen that promoting competitive advantage will bring efficiency to many aspects of social life, especially, economic aspect A stable economy facilitates all aspects like society, environment, social equality ensuring the balance, efficient and harmonious development of that economy 2.4 The scientific values inherited and gaps that need to be filled by further studies 2.4.1 The inherited scientific values Competitive advantage in industry/product field has been studied and developed not only by domestic scholars but also internationally That helps explain how long countries have existed and how competitive they are, how the criteria measurement differs in some countries that are more prosperous compared to that of the others The theoretical issues of competitive advantage of specific industries can also be considered to be complete after being agreed widely in the scientific community Other theories about marketing, corporate governance also analyze in detail the competitive advantages of businesses, competitors, the methods of attack - defense against competitors, or, competitive strategies Therefore, the author is of the opinion that there is no need to further study the competitive advantage of the industry, products or the national competitiveness Provincial competitive advantages were initially formed based on analysis of comparative advantages of regions and provinces and analysis of national competitive advantages From those angles, the analysis was fairly intensive, with scientific arguments to meet a part leading to the analysis of provincial competitive advantage Policies aimed at promoting such advantages depending on specific situations but have diversified and met the scientific basis for promoting competitive advantage 2.4.2 The need of further studies The above review shows that there are some issues that are still being argued, some of which have not been thoroughly studied In the scope of this thesis, the author proposes some issues that have not been studied to facilitate further studies and to apply in practice as follows: Firstly, it has been theoretically and practically proven that the existence of national/state-provincial-city competitive advantage is objective However, the method of measuring and promoting those competitive advantages in order to support the economic development through the expression of policies and measures in socioeconomic achievements, specific researches and solutions have not been thoroughly studied Secondly, from the second factor above, there has been no research of building and proposing a set of evaluation indicators to determine the provincial competitive advantage as a premise to propose and develop policies to promote competitive advantage in the local context with those advantages Thirdly, competitive advantage has the traits of changeability and potential It may be a competitive advantage today but not anymore tomorrow It is necessary that the cycle and life cycle of competitive advantage in each stage be studied in detail (predictive nature) to be able to timely grasp competitive advantages at each specific stage and propose appropriate policies, creating sustainable and rapid economic development Fourthly, to promote the competitive advantage, it is necessary to build a synchronous and appropriate policy system, which must be a legal framework and a clear mechanism to build a dynamic system of enterprises and emerging industries for developed provinces/cities

thesis clarifies the basic theoretical issues of competitive advantages, promoting competitive advantages, factors affecting the promotion of competitive advantages and efficiency evaluation of promoting the 10 - Advantage: to be more advantageous than someone else in some certain aspects, the advantage means having beneficial factors or conditions that are more beneficial than other people’s and other parties Therefore, when it comes to the formation of advantage, there need to be comparative subject(s) which are one or more criteria constituting an advantage According to the Wikipedia dictionary, competitive advantage means owning unique values that can be used to "seize opportunities" to make a profitable business When it comes to competitive advantage, it is about the advantage that a business, a country already has and can achieve, compared to its competitors Competitive advantage is a concept that is both micro (for business, product) and macro (at the national level) [24], [25] According to the PhD student: "The provincial competitive advantage is the superiority of a province, city under the central government (over) another central subordinate city, province in competition for trade, investment, technology, tourists and mobilize talented people to develop the economy and thus promote good competitive advantage will bring higher development efficiency Thereby helping the provincial units to form a number of key areas and products for economic development to be more efficient and more sustainable 1.1.1.2 Factors that constitute the competitive advantage at the provincial level According to M Porter, a country has the following factors that determine its competitive advantage and that is also applicable for a province These factors are both the basis of forming a competitive advantage and the inclusion factors for the existence and development of a province's competitive advantage: Input production factors and the ability to connect with neighboring localities; Corporate strategy, Province’s internal structure and competition; Demand conditions in province and neighboring localities; Supporting and related industries Two more variables, objective events and the government, can affect a province's system in very important ways, and they are indispensable for the completion of this theory The government uses its \instruments as tangible hands to intervene in all factors if it is deemed necessary and at the same time to distort or facilitate advantageous industries 1.1.1.3 Criteria for evaluating provincial localities’ competitive advantage In order to determine the factors that constitute the local competitive advantage at the provincial level, it is necessary to base on the theoretical framework of the factors that make up the advantage and use the scale-grading method to determine the level of competitive advantage Based on the constituent elements of advantages, it is possible to identify some of the provincial competitive advantages that may exist, including: Criteria for the evaluation of provincial level competitive advantage 11 No Criteria At the provincial level Dominan

1.2.3.1 The implication of the comparative advantage promotion First of all, research student will clarify the nature of promoting competitive advantages for economic development of the provincial level According to the research student, the basic meaning of promoting the competitive advantages is turning the competitive advantages into factors that are conducive to rapid economic development, with superior efficiency compared to other localities being competitors in trade, investment attraction, talent attraction In other words, the competitive advantages will be defined clearly and then promoted their values to develop economic more effectively and sustainably 1.2.3.2 The content of promoting comparative advantages at the provincial level The promotion of competitive advantage has

advantages on the economic development of Da Nang City The above competitive advantages have contributed to promoting the economic development of Da Nang City in the past period, it has become a model for economic development for other localities Like Vietnam's economy, however, the development potential of Da Nang is considered to be very promising but to be able to achieve more rapid and sustainable growth, it is necessary to improve some fields, promote competitive advantages (1) For tourism and service development Trade is a field with a fast and comprehensive development step, initially taking on the role of a center for wholesale distribution for provinces and cities in the Central and Central Highlands Business network is evenly and widely distributed A number of shopping centers and supermarkets were formed, the market system was re-planned and newly built to meet the increasing shopping needs of the people, such as such as Hoa Cuong wholesale market, Dong Da market, Hoa Khanh market, Tuy Loan market … The service sector accounts for 60.6% of the GRDP structure of Da Nang City, taking more than 64.1% of workers working in the economy In the past 20 years, the GRDP growth rate of the service sector has averaged 9.76% per year, of which the period of 2006-2010, we recorded the sector's breakthrough with an average growth rate of 14.9%/year, the period of 2001 - 2005 and 2011 - 2015 had a lower growth rate, the order was 8.9%/year and 7.4%/year respectively For the tourism industry, it is identified as a key economic sector of Da Nang City with a fairly rapid development, both in terms of development targets and complete infrastructure investment From 205 thousand turns in 1997, it became over 4.3 million tourists in 2016, the periods of 2001 - 2005 and 2006 - 2010 had the average increase of tourists from 13-15%/year then in the period of 2011-2015, it was over 20%/year In 2016 alone, the overall contribution of tourism to GRDP Da Nang reached 23.72% (16,544 billion VND), 1.7 times higher than the proportion of corresponding contributions in the national economic structure (14 % of GDP), times higher than other provinces with developed tourism sector such as Quang Ninh (10.9%), Ha Noi (10%) However, the total expenditure of tourists is low - only about 0.9 million VND/person/day for domestic tourists and 1.5 million VND/person/day for international tourists, the main services are room rental, food and travel, services such as sightseeing, shopping and entertainment have low contribution value Besides, the city tourism activities in recent years also face the situation of insecurity, due to 17 the impact of immigration process and some unhealthy business establishments Another noteworthy service sector in Da Nang is the warehouse transport service industry, one of the main branches of logistics activities, with the productivity in 2016 reaching over 180 million VND/labor, nearly 2.5 times higher than the productivity level achieved in the 2006-2010 period with a total volume of rotated goods calculated for port operations, an average increase of 12.1% per year in the period of 2011-2015 (in which container goods increase by an average of 20%/year in the same period), if calculating export turnover, Da Nang city is ranked No in the central key economic region and No in the Central (after Thanh Hoa) At present, the sector's value contributes about 7.7% of the city's GRDP structure and will tend to increase when the first-class logistics center of the central key economic region is located in Da Nang built and completed (2) For industry It is one of the key industries of the city and always has high production value every year In which, processing industry accounts for a high proportion (over 90%) of the whole industry's production value Industry is also a pioneer in the process of arrangement and equitization Therefore, the state-owned industry managed by the locality has gradually reduced both in size and structure in production value, which is a new point and dare to innovate in Da Nang The processing industry has changed in the direction of reducing the proportion of food and beverage processing industry; wood and forest product processing; footwear industry and non-metallic mineral products industry Chemical and plastic rubber sub-sectors increased and decreased unevenly The sub-sectors tend to increase the proportion in the structure of industrial production value is the garment industry, mechanical - metallurgical industry and production of electric-electronic machinery and equipment The proportion of subsectors for producing beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs (wood products for export) and other industries (children's toys, luxury candles ) tend to increase gradually (3) For investment attraction In the past years, FDI enterprises have contributed 11.83% of the total value of the city economy, the industrial production value of FDI sector accounted for 2025% of the total industrial production value, export proportion accounts for more than 50% of the total export value of the City To date, the city has more than 44,000 employees working in FDI enterprises FDI enterprises have really contributed to changing the appearance of Da Nang City Da Nang continues to prioritize attracting FDI capital into information technology, high-tech industry and supporting industries, high-quality service industries, especially trade, tourism, logistics, health and education, high-tech agricultural applications The city is interested in investing by multinational corporations, investors with big brands and financial capability and advanced technology from Japan, Korea, 18 United States, Australia, EU (Germany, English, French, Italian) and ASEAN

the UK and the United States Da Nang has been investing in completing the infrastructure system, striving to build a favorable and open business investment environment, outstanding investment support policies to welcome a new wave of investment The main highlight is the City's focus on improving the infrastructure of the High-Tech Park and speeding up the construction of the Information Technology
