The research of international competitiveness belongs to the field of strategic research. One core topic of discussion of strategic study is how to maintain and create persistent competition advantage. To probe into the headspring of the competitive advantage; to analyze the influential element of competitive advantage; to study the forming mechanism of competitive advantage; to advance the maintaining and creating sustaining countermeasure which is the important mission of modern strategic management theory research. As a kind of special"industry"which creates, spreads, integrates and applies advanced knowledge, academic profession faces international competition as well. The international competition of academic profession reflects nationalism academically, in the domain of academic profession by studying the international competitiveness. The research tries to study the competitive advantage and inferior position to find the core elements which influence academic profession competence; to analyze the essential reason of the international competitiveness of academic profession. The aim is to provide policy consideration for improving international competitiveness of Chinese academic profession.The advanced knowledge is the logical beginning in the study of international competitiveness of academic profession. A basic boundary is the advanced knowledge between academic profession and the other professions. The two kinds of essential"products"which academic profession can attend international competition is delivering of the advanced knowledge and high level students The competitiveness of academic profession in the academic market depends on if the product of advanced knowledge has the advantage of international competition, depends on if the high level students can meet the needs of domestic labor market, then the competitive advantage of high level students regard the advanced knowledge as the essential factor as well.It needs a survey indexes to study international competitiveness through which the international advantage of comparison and competition can be analyzed to find the comparative and competitive inferior position. Because there is no international evaluation standard which is suitable for academic profession, this research will confirm main observation indexes of academic profession including five aspects: such as resource competitiveness, the academic competitiveness, the professional attraction, the international influential force and the environmental competitiveness, these five main indexes of observation includes 16 second degree indexes and 56 third degree indexes. These five main observation indexes mirror the different shapes of the advanced knowledge, the resource is competitive indexes of storage quantity of the advanced knowledge, the academic competence is the indexes of capital increasing quantity and the value of the advanced knowledge, the professional attraction is the indexes which the advanced knowledge flows to, the international influential force is the competence indexes of the international prestige of advanced knowledge, the environmental is the competitive indexes of zoology of advanced knowledge. Essentially, the international competition of academic profession is the form competition of advanced knowledge.Analyzing from these five main observation indexes, after expanding the enrollment of new students in the system of higher education, Although Chinese resources of the academic competitiveness has been unceasingly strengthened, the professional attraction has been enhanced, the international influence has been enlarged, the environmental force has been further improved. under the background of international competition, the Chinese academic profession still lacked the competitive advantage, the storage quantity of advanced knowledge was insufficient, the increasing quantity of advanced knowledge has comparatively got promotion quickly but the value needs to be further promoted , the flowing direction of advanced knowledge still stayds in negative direction, the international prestige is a bit lower, and the zoology of advanced knowledge still needs to be improved further.According to Michael E Porter's analysis frame of "diamond model" of dominance theory of international competitiveness, we must consider the characteristics of international competition of academic profession. This research believed that, the resources storage quantity of advanced knowledge is"the elements of production"of the international competition dominance of the academic profession, the increasing quantity and the value of advanced knowledge are "the demanding condition" of the international competition advantage of academic profession; colleges are "the relative industry" of international competition advantage of the academic profession; The flowing direction and the international prestige of advanced knowledge is "the competitive state" of international competition advantage of academic profession; The zoology of advanced knowledge is corresponding mechanism of international competition dominance of academic profession. The resource storage quantity, increasing quantity, value flowing direction, zoology and colleges constitute main influencing elements of international competition advantage of advanced knowledge. a dynamic and innovative competition environment which affect mutually, strengthen each other, and then constitute the basic origin of international competition advantage of one nation academic profession.To the international competitiveness of academic academic, the storage quantity of resources of advanced knowledge mirror the competitiveness of resources of academic profession, the increasing quantity and the value of advanced knowledge reflect the competitiveness of academic delivering of the academic profession, the flowing direction and international prestige of advanced knowledge reflect the attraction and the international force of academic profession, systems of colleges reflect its competence, the zoology of advanced knowledge reflects the environmental force of academic profession, their relationships mirror the forming mechanism of the competitive advantage of academic profession, the bestirring model of international competitiveness of academic profession is consitituted on base of it.This research believes that Chinese academic profession is still in a state of semi-profession, the professionalization is a kind of route and basis which can improve the international competitiveness of acdemic profession. The five strategic choices which can promote international competitiveness of Chinese academic profession are as follows: the difference of advanced knowledge, the priority of authority of academic profession, the generalization of academic professional ethics, the long term of social benefits, the harmonious strategy of zoology of academic profession.
