A framework of strategic performance comparison is designed based upon the well-known theory of generic strategic analysis in business and is used to carry out a competence analysis of provinces in China. An introduction of Porter's generic strategic analysis is introduced first to provide background information. Then, a summary of multiple criteria decision analysis and a few decision analysis tools are sequently presented. Next, a two-dimension framework is proposed for the strategic performance comparison and its application to the competence analysis of provinces in China is discussed in detail, including the analysis procedures and findings.
