Genesis of competitive development of industrial enterprises

Abstract

The article retrospectively analyzes the concept of "competition" and examines its modern interpretations. It was determined that the basis of understanding competition is the struggle between market subjects for access to resources, consumers, while competition determines the economic behavior of market subjects. It is substantiated that competitive development, as one of the types of development, is a tool for ensuring economic growth and a consequence of ensuring competitiveness. Modern interpretations of competitive development by scientists are analyzed. It was found that such development is based on a process approach to the implementation of changes that provide a synergistic effect in the parallel acquisition of competitive advantages and development of the business entity. The key features of competitive development are determined by its basis on the creation of special unique advantages of the enterprise, the use of production factors capable of providing a competitive basis for development, the use of strategizing processes in ensuring competitiveness, which in the complex not only ensure the maintenance of positions and economic efficiency of operation, but also become tools for the development of the enterprise. The own vision of the interpretation of the competitive development of the enterprise as qualitative and quantitative changes in the economic activity of the enterprise, provided with innovative, organizational, economic advantages, different from those of competitors, which ensure economic growth, increase in efficiency and the transition of the enterprise to a higher level of functioning in an economic environment with hard-to-achieve results, has been formed for competitors.
