Yang, B.; Xie, L., 2019. Dynamics model and simulation of core competence of maritime logistics enterprises for service innovation. In: Gong, D.; Zhu, H., and Liu, R. (eds.), Selected Topics in Coastal Research: Engineering, Industry, Economy, and Sustainable Development. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 94, pp. 891–896. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The changes in the maritime service market have brought unprecedented challenges to maritime service enterprises. This paper uses the method of system dynamics to study the causal relationship of the core competence of maritime logistics enterprises from the perspective of service innovation by analyzing its influencing factors and evolution process, thus constructs the system dynamics model of the evolution of core competence of maritime logistics enterprises, and then uses Vensim PLE to simulate the model. Through the verification and analysis of the validity and sensitivity of the simulation model, it shows that the model can fit the evolution process of the core competence of the maritime logistics enterprise, reveal the process and mechanism of it, and provide management strategy for the competence's upgrading. So it can improve the overall efficiency of maritime logistics enterprises, guide them to take competitive advantages in the fast and changing market. The construction and operation of computer simulation model provides an effective research method and way for the evolution of core competence of maritime logistics enterprises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
