Competitiveness Research Of Large-scale Dry Bulk Shipping Enterprise

The dry bulk shipping sector is one important sector in the world shipping industry. The world bulk fleet plays a significant role in the world shipping, especially in the large amount cargo shipping. For a nation or region, the development scale of its bulk shipping industry affects the whole shipping industry. As the principal part in the bulk shipping, the competitiveness of the bulk shipping enterprises, particularly the large-scale ones, will determine the prosperity or decline of the nation or the region’s bulk shipping, even the whole shipping industry, thus study on large-scale dry bulk shipping company competitiveness is theoretical and practical. The main works are as follows.Firstly. the background and the purpose of the paper are described, and the previous research is also looked back in the introduction, where the whole frame of the paper is also given.Secondly, the dry bulk shipping market and the change of shipping competition environment are introduced briefly at first. The situations and the influence reasons of transport power supply, the demand and freight rate of international dry bulk shipping market are analyzed for the following study on dry bulk shipping market research.Thirdly, an economy control model of the dry bulk shipping market is conducted for the forecast simulation of the transport amount, demand and freight rate. Considering the impaction of financial crisis on the dry bulk shipping market, a detailed prediction analysis of the future development of the transport power supply, demand and freight rate are introduced. The controllability is studied for business to provide a basis of decision making for a realistic basis of study on the following dry bulk shipping company competitiveness.Fourthly, a detailed index system for assessing the competitiveness of the dry bulk shipping enterprise is designed, based on features and factors of the competitiveness to determine their evaluation.Lastly, the proposed assessment index system for five famous dry bulk enterprises is established, thus two-stage mathematical model in DEA/AHP is adopted to analyze is established, thus two-stage mathematical model in DEA/AHP is adopted to analyze the chose dry bulk shipping enterprises, in order to make some effective conclusions of improvement of the enterprise competitiveness.
