Although, determinant of diamond theory interact each other but the systemic natures variable in diamond theory. The arguments on two elements are raised by the Porter which are – concentration of industry geographic and the domestic rivalry and these two elements has simply a great power to make a system by changing this diamond. It promotes the entire national diamond upgrading because of this domestic rivalry. The Porter theory translates it into system because of its magnifying principle of the interactions in the geographic concentration. The final stage of the Diamond Porter’s Model is the linkage between the industries and it promotes clustering to the systemic nature (Clancy et.al., 1999).
