The Way

Over the last two decades, the growing interdependence of the world economy and the subsequent increase in foreign trade volume have contributed to the considerable expansion of global logistics activities. As global logistics operations became almost a daily routine for many logistics professionals, they have begun to search for adaptive logistics strategies to improve global competitiveness. To assist U.S. logistics professionals in fostering such strategies, this study empirically examines how the globalization of business has influenced the way U.S. logistics professionals adapt themselves to a dynamic international environment fraught with countless risks and complexities.

Results. The analysis of foreign trade activities of the leather materials market showed that leather, additionally processed after tanning, significantly exceeds exports in imports, while tanned leather without processing in exports is ten times higher than im­ports. The analysis of world trade indicators determined that leather with a natural full grain surface is characterized by the greatest competitiveness against polished leather withan artificial grain surface. According to the indicators of foreign trade activity, Ukraine ranks third among the countries – leaders in world imports of leather with a natural full grain surface configuration in the form of halves. According to this commodity position, Ukraine ranks 13th in world exports. Conclusion. The analysis of Ukraine’s foreign trade on the leather materials mar­ket revealed the need of forming commodity and technological specializations of the domestic leather industry in accordance with the production of leather with a natural full grain surface from cowhides as the most competitive product in the international environment.

Individual Role

Mexico achieved independence in 1821. With the definitive cutting of the imperial ties with Spain, already weakened by the impact of the Napoleonic Wars, the country began to play an individual role in the world economy. The end of Spanish rule and the departure of many Spaniards opened up new positions and new opportunities for Mexicans. Some they seized immediately as in government and the army; others they lacked in some measure the skills, inclination or capital to exploit. One of the more difficult areas was overseas trade, which had been largely the preserve of peninsulares. Their departure provided the occasion for the arrival of numbers of foreigners, who established merchant houses in trading centres, and assumed the role of middlemen in Mexico's foreign trade.

In the conditions of deepening of transformational processes of development and formation of market relations in the system of world economy all branches of economy of Ukraine undergo significant transformations and reorientation. Under the influence of internal and external factors, the market environment changes. Despite the great resource potential, Ukraine fails to gain a leading position compared to economically developed countries. Therefore, it is advisable to study the current state of Ukraine's economy, analyze the dynamics of key indicators, assess the place in the world economy and find possible ways to improve the situation. As a result of the study, the main indicators characterizing the economic development of Ukraine for 2010-2020 were considered. Among them, the index of global competitiveness, the index of investment attractiveness occupy a special place. The analysis of the dynamics of these indicators revealed negative trends due to the aggravation of economic crises, hostilities in the east, the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, destabilization of social and political life, the COVID-19 pandemic. It is determined that the main reason for this situation is the bankruptcy of domestic enterprises due to the low level of competitiveness and the inability to adapt to changing conditions of the external and internal environment and attract investment. The study proposed methodological approaches to assessing the level of investment attractiveness of the country and proved the importance of the ability not only to create new competitive advantages, but also to keep existing ones under the influence of a number of factors; Ukraine's ranking positions in comparison with other countries of the world according to the index of business conditions, the index of economic freedom, the index of global competitiveness, world competitiveness and world digital competitiveness are determined. It is established that the deterioration of rating places on these indicators requires the immediate development of new regulations, the choice of a new strategy for attracting investment, as well as the effective use of levers of influence on the economy.

The long-term gradual recovery of the world economy has provided a good international environment for entrepreneurship and innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). With the continuous deepening of reforms and policies such as “Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation” and “Internet Plus,” unprecedented policy dividends have benefited SMEs’ entrepreneurship and innovation. In particular, the new round of opening up, led by “The Belt and Road” construction, will stimulate more external demand, which will provide good opportunities for the development of SMEs.

The problem of insufficient and imbalanced domestic economic development is still outstanding, and economic development still faces many difficulties and challenges. Overall, the international and domestic environment faced by China’s SMEs is improving.
