Title Resource-Based Port Choice Behavior of Shipowners
Author An-Shuen Nir, Gin-Shuh Liang, Kuang Lin
Summary   Based on the results of satisfaction level analysis and the choice of demand, the shipowner makes a decision to decide whether to use the port service or not. The shipowners’ port choice behavior will influence the decision of business operation and the distribution of business resources. In this study, according to the resource-based theory, we examined the relationships of shipowners’ port choice behavior and distribution of business resources to understand the influences of shipowners’ port choice behavior and port choice attributes. With the core resources, the shipowners did demand analysis of port choice. Port choice behavior can be detailed into shipping line characteristics, variance analysis of port choice attributes, factor analysis, cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling analysis, and grey system theory analysis. All of these can respectively analyze the port choice behavior of port users, demand attributes, the area of port clusters, and the rate of market share.
