The Cost

Antecedentes: La participación del carbón colombiano en el mercado internacional ha dependido y dependerá fundamentalmente de competir con precios con otros posibles proveedores internacionales, si no se cambia la estrategia a competir. Por ello uno de los factores más importantes a tener en cuenta tiene que ver con los costos de la operación logística, para el caso de Norte de Santander. Objetivo: El objetivo principal de este proyecto es realizar el diagnóstico de la operación logística del carbón en Norte de Santander. Metodología: Básicamente la metodología utilizada fue la aplicación de encuestas a los principales expertos y empresarios exportadores de Carbón en Norte de Santander. Resultados: Uno de los aspectos más relevantes que mitigan la posibilidad de capturar valor en el comercio exterior, son sus altos costos en la operación logística. El problema identificado se da en la ausencia de estudios que permitan caracterizar la distribución física internacional del sector del carbón en Norte de Santander, en losMunicipios más representativos para su extracción. Conclusiones: Finalmente el proceso de internacionalización de la economía obliga a los sectores productivos, a pasar de las ventajas comparativas, a ventajas competitivas. Estas últimas son necesarias para aprovechar los mercados internacionales, sin embargo, sectores estratégicos por su potencial en reservas y características de su producto, como el sector del carbón en Norte de Santander, aún no consolidan elementos para su aprovechamiento.Abstract Background: The participation of Colombian coal in the international market has depended and will depend primarily on price to compete with other potential international suppliers, if the strategy is not changed to compete.

The main purpose of this study is to answer the question of how innovative Belarusian economy is. Its innovativeness has been assessed through an in-depth analysis of Belarus’ position in international trade, especially in high- and medium-high-technology goods, on the back of the assumption that any competitive advantages possessed in them testify to the economy’s high innovativeness. The analysis of the dynamics of long-term revealed comparative advantages in Belarusian foreign trade by using Balassa’s RCA methodology and covering the years 2000-2014, has shown that the country was generally characterized by low innovativeness, as evidenced by the possession of such advantages only in trade in goods of relatively low technological intensity (medium-low technology). Meanwhile, in hi-tech goods (high and medium-high technology), Belarus did not have any (or only had relatively small) long-term revealed comparative advantages. Moreover, Belarus’ competitiveness in international trade deteriorated over that period, not only regarding high and medium-high technology goods but also in foreign trade overall. This seems to be, amongst others, the consequence of low efficiency of the country’s current innovation policy.

The present study focuses on the analysis of the competitiveness and the comparative advantages of Bulgarian production and exports. It is structured in two parts. The first part summarizes the positions of Bulgaria in the index of global competitiveness and the more important criteria related to foreign trade. In the second part some theoretical concepts for comparative competitive advantages are systematized. Out of them the indices of B. Belasa and M. Amir have been chosen and calculated and on this basis the conclusions about the comparative advantages and disadvantages of the Bulgarian production and export of certain commodities and commodity groups, manifested in 2012-2016, are drawn. Stepping on these conclusions the possibilities for expanding or restricting the export of specific commodity groups and for increasing the competitiveness of the Bulgarian economy are systematized. In this research mathematical and statistical methods are applied, mostly the index method, along with methods of analysis and synthesis.

Because of globalization and economic integration, the competitiveness of entities is more and more often analyzed in the context of their links with the international market. The aim of the article is to assess the comparative advantages in Poland's foreign trade in agri-food products in comparison to trade in other products. The study uses the relative trade advantage indices RTA. This study was preceded by a discussion of the results of foreign trade. The source of data was the WITS-Comtrade database. The study showed that Poland's foreign trade is characterized by a diversified level of comparative advantages. Of the twenty HS sections, in 2016 Poland had comparative advantages in trade of products from two agri-food sections and seven other sections. These sections accounted for approximately 9% and 50% of Poland's trade turnover, respectively. The development of Polish foreign trade in agri-food products, as well as quite significant comparative advantages in trade of these products, indicate the competitiveness and high importance of the Polish agri-food sector for the national economy.

One of the most debatable issues surrounding globalisation is the concern that trade hurts the environment, both locally and globally. Economists argue that expanding trade from domestic market to international market not only increases market share of each country but also rising competition among the nations and improve efficiency of utilising scarce resources because each country produces those goods in which she has comparative advantages. But on the other hand, environmental economists have opposed global trade and argue that the costs of spreading trade to international markets are depleting natural resources and rising pollution emissions that ultimately deteriorates environmental quality.

The factors that influence international segmentation process are macrofactors: geographic, structural-demographic, legal, economic, scientific, socio-cultural; and microfactors: common market factors (market demand, competitive factors, factors of quality characteristics of the product) and customer-based factors (psychological, behavioral, individual characteristics of customers). The stages of the procedure of developing of international segmentation strategy are: market attractiveness evaluation; competitive analysis; demand evaluation; cultural environment analysis; macrosegmentation of markets; microsegmentation of markets; implementation of strategy and control. The proposed strategy of international segmentation strategy requires forming of the detailed marketing plan to a certain market segment and constant monitoring of its realization in accordance with changes in market environment and motivations of customers.
