The paper presents a new perspective on the issue of evaluating developmental disparities. The created methodology of the microeconomic evaluation consists of three main components: business environment quality, use of human resources, and innovation potential of companies. Further, the paper provides information on the results of the methodology being applied to the Czech Republic. Its information relevance was also tested using comparison with the results of macroeconomic analysis based on standard statistical data, carried out within a geographically larger scope of 10 selected new EU member states. Finally, recommendations helpful for the needs of regional policy were formulated.
