This book discusses the various dimensions of competitiveness, with a special focus on emerging Central, Eastern and Southeastern European countries. For Europe to proceed with convergence and to resist global competitive pressures, it argues that policies to boost productivity and innovation are vital. With products becoming ever more technically sophisticated and global interconnectedness on a relentless rise, it also demonstrates that quality, customer orientation and participation in global production networks and global value chains are at least as important as relative costs and prices."--Provided by publisher.EconomicsCongressesEconomicsEuropean Union countriesCommerceEconomicsEconomics.330Belka Marek MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910149408203321Boosting european competitiveness2890941UNINA
