The purpose of this study is: (i) to determine the competitiveness of Kazakhstan in contemporary international trade, with particular regard to the mineral resources possessed by the country; (ii) to show the consequences of Kazakhstan’s resources-dependent competitive profile for the economic development of the country; (iii) to look at measures taken by Kazakh authorities to facilitate future development. To this end, the methodology of analysing revealed comparative advantages was applied. The analysis has shown that the competitive profile of Kazakhstan in international trade is low. The country does not possess any comparative advantages in trade in the categories of high-technology and medium-hightechnology goods while its strongest advantages are in exports of mineral resources and their derivatives, which determines the resources-based character of the entire economy and makes its future development heavily dependent on developments in international resources markets.

Current glocalisation processes require the identification of priority areas for Ukraine’s further integration into the international economy. The right choice of direction, tools and forms of implementation allows the government to determine, justify and implement a competitive strategy for the country. The study aimed to determine the relationship between international economic integration and Ukraine’s global competitive power. Identifying Ukraine’s sectoral comparative advantages in trade with the EU and evaluating the index of the regional orientation of Ukraine for specific groups of goods and services made it possible to define the effects of economic collaboration with the European region. The assessment of the complementarity index of Ukrainian–European trade relations revealed that Ukraine and the European Union are main trading partners. Furthermore, the analysis of the mechanism of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union proved that the agreement actively contributes to the growth of Ukraine’s global competitive power. Comparative analysis in historical retrospect revealed priority areas for improving the integration processes which help to form the main competitive advantages of the country.

Motywacja: Motywacją do podjęcia tematu była chęć zwrócenie uwagi na mankamenty oraz walory poszczególnych koncepcji, w szczególności grupy metodyk zwinnych oraz tradycyjnych dla projektów informatycznych. Cel: Głównym celem jest wykazanie statystycznej opłacalności migracji do metodyk lepiej dopasowanych w przypadku branży adaptacyjnej, w jakiej operują przedsiębiorstwa wytwarzające oprogramowanie. Celem szczegółowym jest wykazanie pozytywnych zależności, w przypadku prawidłowego doboru koncepcji zarządzania do oczekiwań klienta oraz zespołu projektowego. Materiały i metody: Wnioski opracowano na podstawie analizy porównawczej grupy metodyk, a także przez weryfikację badań przeprowadzonych przez przedsiębiorstwo Scott Ambler + Associates. Wyniki: W konkluzji stwierdzono przede wszystkim, że nie ujmując tradycyjnemu podejściu do zarządzania, nie wpisuje się ono do kanonu nowoczesnych i adaptacyjnych technik, które sprostałyby wymaganiom stawianym w dobie globalizacji przez elastyczne projekty informatyczne. Ponadto, na podstawie analizy odpowiedzi respondentów, można dostrzec, jak drastycznie zmiana podejścia do całego cyklu projektowego wpływa na prawdopodobieństwo sukcesu oraz niweluje nieporozumienia na linii klient-wykonawca.

Research background: The position of a country in the international division of labour is determined by the competitiveness of its trade, the structure of which may both reveal and perpetuate the comparative advantages possessed. This is particularly true for Dutch disease economies such as Russia. Recently, economic literature has seen a growing interest in the topic of Russia?s economic relations with the European Union and China. This article is aimed at being the Author?s contribution to this discussion. Purposes of the article: (1) to discuss the existing trade interdependence between Russia and the EU28, and Russia and China; (2) to try to assess the extent to which the current structure of Russian trade with these two partners corresponds with the competitiveness of the Russian economy. Methods: An in-depth analysis of Russia-EU28 and Russia-China trade interdependencies in 2007-2015 has been conducted, with emphasis on the categories of goods within the spectrum from low- to high-technology, according to the OECD classification. Furthermore, in order to analyse Russia?s competitive profile with regard to the same categories of goods, Balassa?s methodology of revealed comparative advantages has been applied. Findings & Value added: In the recent years, a growing importance of China in Russian trade turnover can be observed, being the effect of dynamic growth of Chinese economy, cooling political relations between Moscow and Brussels and the drop in oil prices in international markets. The existing structure of Russian trade with the EU28 and China seems likely to preserve its traditional competitive advantages in the medium-low-technology goods and oil, which, in turn, will only further exacerbate the negative consequences of the so-called Dutch disease affecting the Russian economy.

Zglobalizowana gospodarka wymusza na podmiotach rynkowych poszukiwanie coraz bardziej innowacyjnych sposobów budowania trwałych przewag konkurencyjnych. Jest to warunek niezbędny, aby sprostać silnej konkurencji. Podobnie dzieje się w sektorze turystyki uzdrowiskowej, dla którego poszukiwanie nowych źródeł przewag konkurencyjnych jest fundamentalnym zadaniem. Nowym sposobem bycia konkurencyjnym na rynku jest połączenie sił różnych aktorów gry rynkowej, wzajemnie kooperujących, tzn. jednocześnie konkurujących i współpracujących. Powstały w ten sposób system relacji w sieci współpracujących firm tworzy źródło unikalnych korzyści dostępnych tylko dla danej grupy. Autor artykułu koncentruje się na udowodnieniu, że Uniejów jest miejscem, gdzie funkcjonuje struktura tworząca system powiązań konkurencyjno-kooperacyjnych stanowiąca źródło unikalnych przewag konkurencyjnych na rynku. Artykuł stanowi próbę opisania specyfiki powiązań pomiędzy przedsiębiorstwami ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ich charakteru, zasięgu, jakości oraz korzyści.

Метою статті є обґрунтування теоретичних положень та розроблення практичних рекомендацій з формування інструментарію для графічної оцінки конкурентоспроможності підприємства. Доведено, що графічна оцінка конкурентоспроможності підприємства та її інтерпретація ґрунтуються на аналітичній оцінці конкурентоспроможності підприємства. З’ясовано, що найбільш поширеним графічним методом (способом) оцінки конкурентоспроможності підприємства є побудова багатокутника конкурентоспроможності. Представлено приклад графічної побудови багатокутника конкурентоспроможності підприємства. Визначено, що ключовими (базовими) параметрами (бізнес-індикаторами) графічної оцінки конкурентоспроможності підприємства є: 1) ефективність функціонування (діяльності) підприємства (фінансово-економічна, виробнича, комерційна); 2) конкурентоспроможність продукції підприємства; 3) концентрованість ринку, на якому підприємство здійснює свою діяльність; 4) рівень менеджменту та якість трудового персоналу; 5) ефективність застосування інформаційних технологій в управлінні підприємством. Перспективою подальших досліджень у даному напрямі є розроблення аналітичного способу оцінки конкурентоспроможності підприємства на ринку.

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the theoretical positions and develop practical recommendations for the development of the toolkit for graphical assessment of the competitiveness of the enterprise. It is proved that the graphic assessment of enterprise competitiveness and its interpretation are based on an analytical assessment of the competitiveness of the enterprise. It is revealed that the most common graphic method for assessing the competitiveness of an enterprise is the construction of a polygon of competitiveness. An example of graphic construction of a polygon of enterprise competitiveness is presented. It is determined that the key (basic) parameters (business indicators) of graphic evaluation of enterprise competitiveness are: 1) the efficiency of the operation (activity) of the enterprise (financial, economic, industrial, commercial); 2) the competitiveness of the company's products; 3) the concentration of the market in which the company operates; 4) level of management and quality of labor personnel; 5) efficiency of application of information technologies in the management of the enterprise. The prospect of further research in this area is the development of an analytical method for assessing the competitiveness of an enterprise on the market.
