在“一带一路”倡议下，两条连接远东和欧洲的新兴贸易走廊已经建成。一是中欧海陆快线（CESEL），二是新亚欧大陆桥（NELB）。本文旨在了解相关利益相关者对“一带一路”倡议下传统海陆联运（TSLL）以及两条新兴集装箱航线的表现的态度。为了实现这个目标，我们首先建立了一个绩效评估体系来了解这些贸易路线的相对绩效。我们进行了问卷调查，以揭示对路线绩效的不同看法，然后使用模糊多标准决策分析（MCDA）来检查和解释调查数据。其次，我们将受访者分为两组，考察政府的发展重点与行业从业者的偏好是否存在不一致。第三，我们通过对十个关键利益相关者进行深入访谈，探讨了差异的原因，然后从制度理论的角度解释了调查结果。最后，我们讨论了三种不同情景下航线开发的不确定性和动态性。根据我们的研究结果提出了一些管理建议。
Under the Belt and Road (B&R) initiative, two new emerging trade corridors connecting the Far East to Europe have been built. One is the China-Europe Sea-Land Express Line (CESEL) and the other is the New Eurasian Land Bridge (NELB). This paper aims to understand the attitude of relevant stakeholders towards the performance of the Traditional Sea-Land Line (TSLL) alongside the two emerging container routes under the B&R initiative. To achieve this objective, we first of all built a performance evaluation system to understand the relative performance of these trade routes. A questionnaire survey was carried out to reveal the differing views on route performance, and Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) was then used to examine and interpret the survey data. Secondly, by dividing the interviewees into two groups, we examined whether the government’s development priorities are at variance with the preferences of industry practitioners. Thirdly, we explored the reasons for the variance by conducting an intensive interview with ten key stakeholders and then explain the findings from the perspective of institutional theories. Finally, we addressed the uncertainty and dynamics of route development under three different scenarios. Several managerial implications are proposed on the basis of our findings.
