The theoretical and methodological basis of the study are scientific developments of domestic and foreign scientists related to competitiveness as a priority economic factor of sustainable development and functioning of the tourist enterprise in a changing environment, materials of specialized scientific conferences and symposia. The article considers and highlights the problems of competitiveness of the tourist enterprise as a separate subject of research. It is revealed that the recent strategic changes, which are the key to creating future competitive advantages, are the result of ensuring the long-term development of the tourist enterprise in the relevant competitive economic conditions.      It is shown that the most acute problem of assessing the level of competitiveness of a tourist enterprise is the lack of information about competitors, which leads to incomplete analysis, the use of subjective scores, high financial and time costs to conduct a study of competitiveness. The main competitive strategies of the enterprise which allow to win in struggle against competitors are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the need to develop stages of systematic study of the competitiveness of tourism enterprises, which will allow to characterize the level of their competitiveness, even in conditions of information lack. The obtained results of the research are the basis for the scientific substantiation of the process of managing the competitiveness of tourist services (goods), which is one of the sub-goals of managing the competitiveness of the enterprise and should be subordinated to it. The results of the study are the basis for effective strategic management of tourism enterprises of Ukraine, capable of enhancing the competitiveness of the industry.

This paper investigates the relationship between marketing channels and underwriting service quality with focus on two major channels: salesperson and bancassurance. Based on the data of life insurance in Taiwan, the empirical analysis shows that the traditional salesperson channel has competitive advantages in underwriting service quality. This result supports the coexistence of salesperson and bancassurance because previous literature indicated bancassurance more cost-efficient than a salesperson. The empirical result shows that insurers with more dependence on salesperson channel present lower complaint ratio and higher contract persistency due to better service quality. The empirical result also indicates that service quality has a significantly positive impact on insurer’s reputation. This finding implies that the insurers with more dependence on bancassurance should take additional competitive strategies to maintain the long-term customer relation.

Working hours are the key economic resource necessary for production of goods and services and promoting increase in competitiveness at all levels of management. Development of the social and labor relations in the country has made impossible calculation of traditional indicators of assessment of working hours’ use. The article discusses the factors thanks to which the concept of working time efficiency is getting its new socio-economic content. The transition from attendance management at work to absence rate management made it impossible to calculate traditional indicators for evaluating the efficiency of working time. Labor absenteeism is considered as an indicator of assessment of working hours’ use. The paradigm shift makes it necessary to study labor absenteeism. Evaluation of labor absenteeism is meant to be the basis of a professional approach to investing in labor efficiency, the main stimulus for finding and implementing the long-term competitive advantages of a working time resource in an organization.The use in national literature of the term «labor absenteeism» is characterized by high uncertainty. The indicator of labor absenteeism is designed to be a guarantee of professional approach to investment into efficiency of work, the main incentive of search and realization of long-term competitive advantages of a resource of working hours in the organization. The article provides the interpretation of the concept «labor absenteeism», its socio-economic content and meaning. Classification of types of labor absenteeism and the system of his indicators is offered. We put forward classification of types and rating system of labor absenteeism.

The study was targeted at developing a methodology for constructing a macroeconomic performance index at a provincial level for the first time in Vietnam based on 4 groups of measurements: (i) Economic indicators; (ii) oriented economic indicators; (iii) socio-economic indicators; and (iv) economic - social – institutional indicators. Applying the methodology to the 2011 - 2015 empirical data of all provinces in Vietnam, the research shows that the socio-economic development strategy implemented by those provinces did not provide balanced outcomes between growth and social objectives, sustainability and inclusiveness. Many provinces focused on economic growth at the cost of structural change, equality and institutional transformation. In contrast, many provinces were successful in improving equality but not growth. Those facts threaten the long-term development objectives of the provinces.

Equity issues in policymaking are difficult to resolve because they are linked not only to the economic situation but also to social constraints and political conflicts within a country. This is even more true in the case of post-socialist economies during their transition to a market system in the era of globalisation. The historical and irreversible process of liberalisation and integration of capital, goods and services, and labour markets into one world market, as well as the gradual construction of new institutions and the process of privatisation cause a significant shift in the income pattern of post-socialist emerging markets. Contrary to expectations, inequality increases affecting the standard of living and long-term growth. While globalisation contributes to the long-term acceleration of economic growth and offers a chance for many countries and regions to catch up with more advanced economies, it results in growing inequality both between the countries and within them. On average, the standard of living increases, but so does the gap between the rich and the poor. Therefore, equality issues should always be of concern to policymakers, especially in the early years of the change of regime in post-socialist transition economies.

Encompassing firms to apply green policy in a holistic management practices are strongly required in order to maintain competitive advantages and experience long-term marketing performance. This current empirical research is aimed to fill the lack of empirical findings and empirical studies on firm's innovative concept. Green-based product innovation, green management practices and green corporate image are presented as the antecedents and postulated as the sources of sustaining firm competitive advantages. A questionnaire-based survey was deployed to collect data from Large Scale Enterprises in Indonesia with Top Management, Operational and Marketing Managers served as respondents. 500 questionnaires were mailed and 388 were valid for further analysis. Data was analyzed by using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via AMOS statistical software. Statistical findings demonstrated that green-based product innovation, green management practices and green corporate image significantly has a positive affect to sustain firm competitive advantages which is led to enhance long term marketing performance. However, green-based product innovation plays insignificant direct relationship on long term marketing performance. This study discusses some managerial implications for enterprises and recommendations on a basis of green implementation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between supplier development practices (SDPs) and supplier-buyer relationship practices from the supplier’s perspective (SBRSP), and seek to understand how specific SDPs may impact a buyer’s operational performance as well as supplier-buyer relationship practices. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a survey of 512 respondents from the different manufacturing firms in India and applied structural equation modelling to test a structural model that proposes the impacts of various efforts of SDPs on a buyer’s performance as well as SBRSP. Findings The study concludes that SDPs and SBRSP together improve the relationship between a buyer and supplier, and this improved relationship leads to competitive advantages (CAs) followed by profitability. Results indicate that supplier perspective of buyer-supplier relationship can be improved under the condition of SDPs and SBRSP together. SDPs are driven by productive measure and competitive pressure, whereas customer uncertainty is found to be statistically insignificant. Research limitations/implications The study was carried out in North Maharashtra Industrial Zone of India, where the auto sector and machine/components manufacturing firms have been established for a considerable period of time. Results of the study are limited to manufacturing organizations predominantly focussing on the automobile sector and machine/components manufacturing firms. Practical implications This study provides significant insights into the specific impact of various SDPs and SBRSP for both academics and practitioners. SDPs along with SBRSP practices lead to improvement in the relationship leading to CAs. SBRSP suggests that trust, long-term commitments and the supplier’s perspective are important practices for relationship improvement. Originality/value The current study attempts to identify what are the success factors for the supplier-buyer relationship from the supplier’s perspective and SDPs and how the supplier-buyer relationship can be improved under the condition of SDPs and SBRSP. Hence, the aim is to develop a more thorough understanding of the outcomes of a supplier-buyer relationship improvement from both buyer’s and supplier’s perspective, under the conditions of supplier development to achieve CAs leading to profitability. Furthermore, the study analyses the effect of the improved supplier-buyer relationship for achieving CAs leading to profitability.
