Managing the competitiveness in CIS countries and Ukraine: the goal and conditions

Abstract

The study is focused on the analysis of conditions for business development and the industrial enterprises' competitiveness formation in Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The study is based on several concepts - sustainable development, macroeconomic stability, "green economy", and competitiveness. The article analyses the level of macroeconomic instability in a sample of CIS countries and Ukraine following the statistical approach and using the variation coefficient. The authors suggest calculating the indicators of stable development (SD-indicator) and business simplicity (SB-indicator) based on the international analytical reports data. Several CIS countries are visualized in SD and SB coordinates. The study defines the countries where the conditions for business competitiveness are to be improved due to the comparatively higher level of macroeconomic instability. The article will be interesting to scientists whose subject of research is the competitiveness of enterprises or the economic instability phenomena.
