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. 606 $aEconomics$vCongresses 606 $aEconomics 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xCommerce 615 0$aEconomics 615 0$aEconomics. 676 $a330 702 $aBelka$b Marek 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149408203321 996 $aBoosting european competitiveness$92890941 997 $aUNINA
