It is revealed that assessment of competitive advantages of retail enterprises has grown more essential in the conditions of European integration. Approaches to the choice of tools for assessing the competitive advantages of retail enterprises are studied. Their debatable nature, lack of consensus and impossibility of application in retail enterprises without adaptive transformations are revealed. The paper highlights the basic prerequisites for the development of a multi-criteria integrated assessment system: the dual nature of competitive advantages and suitability for a certain stage of their life cycle; specifics of content and typology of competitive advantages of retail trade enterprises as a consequence of the peculiarities of the industry. The authors develop a system for assessing the competitive advantages of retail enterprises with the differentiation of criteria and indicators by stages of the life cycle: establishment, implementation, development. The use of individual and generalized assessment indicators at each stage is substantiated. Economic and mathematical modelling is used to calculate generalizing indicators. It is proposed to use them to assess the competitive indicators of the enterprise: competitive potential, competitiveness and sustainable competitiveness. The system of assessment of competitive advantages at chain retail enterprises has been tested. It is confirmed that the results of research have been adopted by retail enterprises for implementation and have been used to develop measures for the creation, implementation and development of competitive advantages.

A methodical approach to identification of the existing sources of competitive advantages and potential of their development in retail enterprises is proposed. As a basis, the following general scientific principles are allocated: complexity, security, comparability, information sufficiency, orientation towards creating the bigger consumer value. The stages of implementation of evaluation-identification procedures are characterized. The directions of identification of the sources of competitive advantages are determined as follows: provision of labor and commodity resources, capital, level of management, capabilities of staff. The stage of formation of the information base is characterized. The choice of research objects is substantiated, taking into account the dual nature of competitive advantages and the sectoral specifics of trade enterprises. The quantitative and qualitative correspondence of both the potential and the realized advantages within each resource-competent plane of the enterprise’s potential is determined. The conditions for identifying sources of competitive advantages and their corresponding target development benchmarks are defined.

This paper analyzes cooperative enterprises' networks in the Italian economy, in accordance with recent economic theory, to throw light on the causes of their success of in the last 30 years. We reference the vast literature about business networks to identify some interpretative lines that can be transferred to the cooperative world. On this basis, a typology of the Italian cooperative networks is offered, in order to evaluate the competitive advantages of each type of net, their governance methods, their evolution, and their impact on the recent flourishing of Italian cooperatives. Our conclusion is that the use of networks by co-ops has been very intensive and can still be strengthened, if Italian co-op umbrella organizations will merge. Building large cooperative corporations was often the result of networking, as was the creation of joint stock companies owned by cooperatives.

Abstract. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the competitive development of regional agricultural producers in terms of correction of their sectoral structure in the context of European integration processes. Methodology / methodology / approach. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is the dialectical method of cognition, a systematic approach to the study of economic phenomena and processes, scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists on the theory and practice of competitive development of agricultural production considering exogenous and endogenous factors. Of the special research methods used economic and statistical — in analyzing the current state and forecasting the prospects for competitive development of regional agricultural producers in terms of European integration processes, graphical — to determine the projected volumes of livestock products on farms in the Carpathian region of Ukraine, abstract and logical substantiation of the institutional and economic mechanism of competitive development of agricultural producers of the Carpathian region of Ukraine in the context of correction of their branch structure.
