DIMENSIONS OF COMPETETIVENESS JANKOWSKA M. KOWALSKI T. PIETRZYKOWSKI M. Księgarnia

Individual businesses, sectors, entire national economies, and regional integration groupings have experienced deep technological and economic changes. This has led to the emergence of a new economic order, driven by globalization, thecapacitytocreate and absorb technological progress, and fast transfer of knowledge. Transformations in the economic landscape necessitate a search for new ways of creating value, and consequently economic prosperity. Creating value and - in a broader sense - the developmental capacity of the company, sector, region, economy or regional integration grouping are intrinsically related to increasing their competitiveness. The question how to improve the competitiveness of different economic systems remains open and fosters more in-depth research and investigation.

The principal aim in organizing this volume has been to report selected results from current work on various aspects of competitiveness at the Department of Strategy and Policy of International Competitiveness at Poznan University of Economics. The book covers three principal dimensionsofcompetitiveness, namely macro, mezzoand microones.
