The "Port-Park-City" (PPC) model, epitomized by the success of China Merchants Group Port (CMPort), offers a compelling case of how strategic sustainability revolutionizes international business. This research probes the innovative PPC model, initially thriving within China, to assess its adaptability to international investments. Through a meticulous analysis of two pivotal investment cases—the China Belarus Industrial Park (GSIP) and the Djibouti Port Industrial Park—we investigate the replicability of the PPC model and its capacity to confer a sustainable competitive edge. Adopting a "coupling effect" perspective, we scrutinize commonalities in PPC model implementation in these cases. This research address the pressing demand for global enterprises to adapt to evolving paradigms of strategic management. Our findings underscore the PPC model's potential not only in bolstering business success but also in advancing global sustainability, fostering competitive advantage, and catalyzing business model innovation. This encapsulates the essence of sustainable strategic management. %@ 2083-6473 %R 10.12716/1001.18.03.22
