波特模型中没有历史意义，钻石模型被认为只是一个抽象的后发展理论的历史维度的模型。这个理论也没有关注国家文化和呈现国家作用的低估（Brander and Krugman，2003）。搬运工模式中缺少国家的作用，不关注国家竞争力。
The attention now is towards the companies that are giving material tools like most of the US companies. In this context information is playing an important role during the process of innovation. Some nations look for the information that is not available to other nations. By using this information market gaps are discovered and assumptions are build on conventional wisdom. This is a trick used by most of the companies and nations that are smart and believe in innovation, research and development (Siggel, 2006).
Circumstances and conditions of the countries play a vital role in the development of competencies throughout the companies. The way companies are organized, managed and given structure is based on the fact that how circumstances of the country are taking place. Example of this can be observed in the example of successful companies that are medium range, short range and big sized, they are owned by the families. This situation is present in Italy because the wealth of family is present in the country and people have wealth that they inherited from their ancestors. This situation is reversed in Germany as the companies are hierarchical and management practices and policies are according to this technical background (Brender and Spencer, 2005).
Lack of historical dimension
It has been debated that historical significance is not present in the porter model and diamond model has been observed to be a model that presents only abstract about the application of historical dimensions of the late development theory. This theory is also not giving attention about the national cultures and downplays that are presenting the role of the state (Brander and Krugman, 2003). The role of the state is missing in the porter model and is not giving attention about the national competitiveness.
