The objective of this study is to identify the factors that determine the competitiveness of garment industry in Ethiopia. To achieve this, Porter's diamond model of national competitiveness was detected as a model to assess the competitiveness of the garment industry in Ethiopia. Based on conceptual framework, the study's six hypotheses were developed and tested. Six independent variables considered are: factor conditions; demand conditions; related and supporting industries; industry's strategy, structure and rivalry; role of government; and chance factors and dependent variable is competiveness. Primary data are collected by self-administered structured questionnaire from owners/general managers of industry. Totally 37 out of the targeted 38 respondents duly filled and returned the questionnaires for analysis giving response rate of 97.36 per cent. The results were presented in forms of mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation, ANOVA and regression analysis. This study finds that the composite the five independent variables accounted for 73 per cent variance for the competitiveness of garment industry in Ethiopia. The independent variables show the positive effect on predicting the dependent variable (except the demand conditions). Two factors --factor conditions and chance factors --were found to be statically significant determinants for the competitiveness of the garment industry in Ethiopia.

This paper aims to explain the factors that influence of entrepreneurship education and entrepeneurship literacy of vocational students (SMK). A paper based on research on 1,440 vocational grade XI students in 12 provinces in Indonesia obtained through random techniques, in the sense that each student has the same opportunity. Primary data collection is done through the distribution of questionnaires to students and analyzed by SEM techniques through the help of the Lisrel program version 8.70. The study found that the variables of school management, the role of teachers, teaching factories, and community participation had a positive influence on supporting facilities variables and entrepreneurship education variables. Facility support itself has a positive effect on entrepreneurship education, furthermore it has a positive effect on students' entrepreneurial literacy. On the other hand, external cooperation indicators contribute the strongest value for the school management variable, competent educator indicators of the teacher role variable, production training in the factory teaching variable, production marketing assistance in the community participation variable, and capital assistance information in the supporting facilities variable. In the entrepreneurship education variable, the indicator that contributes the strongest value is the identification of business prospects, while the entrepeneurship literacy variable is an indicator of business creativity. The implication is that entrepreneurship education efforts need to pay more attention to the above influence variables as well as indicators that have the effect strength of each variable.   Received: 20 August 2020 / Accepted: 2 November 2020/ Published: 17 January 2021
