У статті визначено чотири основні групи методик оцінки інвестиційної привабливості. Серед них було виокремлено рейтинговий метод на основі статистичних даних, у межах якого проводиться ранжування провідних міжнародних рейтингів інвестиційної привабливості. Було встановлено відсутність закономірності між рекомендаціями UNCTAD та міжнародними рейтингами, у зв’язку з чим було проведено компаративний аналіз таких провідних міжнародних рейтингів, як «BDO International Business Compass», «Doing business», «The Global Competitiveness Index», «Index of Economic Freedom», «Legatum Prosperity Index» та «Human Development Index» та встановлено серед них найбільш репрезентативний.

Negative Impacts

There are a number of positive impacts if Indonesia uses these three indexes: the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business, the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Index, and the World Justice Project’s Rule of Law Index as guidance for “peraturan perundang-undangan” (laws and regulations). Nonetheless, it is important to note that there are also negative impacts that could arise. One of the important solutions to avoid negative impacts is to consistently comply with Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the State of the Republic of Indonesia. The concept of using international indexes as guidance is not only limited to the Ease of Doing Business, the Global Competitiveness Index, and the Rule of Law Index. Other relevant international indexes could have also roles in providing guidance for laws and regulations in Indonesia, by taking into account the discussion and recommendations in this research, in particular: these indexes must be in accordance with Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the State of the Republic of Indonesia. Furthermore, this research also provides recommendations for how to improve Indonesia’s rankings on the three indexes, which could also be relevant in the context of other international indexes.

In recent years, the concept of national competitiveness and favourable business environment is broadly associated with economic development. The countries are increasingly paying attention to their competitiveness on global markets by promoting national programs and founding institutions aimed at tackling competitiveness issues. A number of leading international organizations, research institutes and business entities carry out global comparative studies on nation’s competitiveness. However, the global competitiveness ranking results are often inconsistent with economic trends. This raises a question whether the international competitiveness ran kings provide a proper guidance for an individual economy in improving the business environment. The paper aims at revealing the factors behind the discrepancies in evaluating a national competitiveness by international institutions and national agents. The analysis is based on the datasets of two influential publications - Doing Business (the World Bank) and Global Competitiveness Report (World Economic Forum). The study was enriched by a questionnaire, specially tailored to assess the most problematic issues in measuring the business and investment environment. The research has shown that the international comparisons only partially correspond to the national perception of competitiveness. The paper also addresses policy insights for enhancing Lithuania’s competitiveness.

Enterprises need data resources that are stable and at the same time flexible to support current and new ways of doing business. However, there is a lack of understanding how flexibility of a Conceptual Schema design is demonstrated in its evolution over time. This case study outlines the evolution of a highly integrated Conceptual Schema in its business environment. A gradual decline in schema quality is observed: size and complexity of the schema increase, understandability and consistency decrease. Contrary to popular belief, it is found that changes aren’t driven only by “accepted” causes like new legislation or product innovation. Other change drivers are identified like error correction, changing perceptions of what the information need of the business is and elimination of derived data. The case shows that a real Conceptual Schema is the result of “objective” design practices as well as the product of negotiation and compromise with the user community.

In this paper, the following research problem was addressed: Is there a significant economic impact of multidimensional specified competitiveness within the EU (28) countries on the competitive business environment, human development, and sustainable growth? Based on the mentioned research problem, we formulated the aim of paper: To detect the significant interrelations among the assessment of global competitiveness, business environment as well as human development in the EU (28) countries for the period of 2006–2017. To address these problems, the methodology of global multi-criteria indices, namely the global competitiveness index (GCI), doing business index (DBI), and human development index (HDI), as well as panel analysis and non-linear regression analyses with ANOVA, were applied. The panel analysis results suggest that there is a direct linear relationship between the GCI and HDI. Moreover, the impact of the DBI on the change in the GCI score was not confirmed. We identified the main areas of countries’ interest, and important economic and statistical significant relations of competitiveness by creating three models: The GD model (constructed by GCI and DBI scores), GH model (GCI and HDI scores), and GDH model (GCI, DBI and HDI scores). Based on the results, all interrelations were confirmed. However, the highest extent of variability for the explanation of the selected data was recorded in the case of the GDH model (87.12%). We detected the impact of the business environment and human resources as competitive advantages on global macroeconomic competitiveness. As the business sector in EU (28) countries is represented mainly by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), enterprise activities play a key role in the process of sustainable competitive economic development. Moreover, human resources are considered to be another important driver of the internationalization of European SMEs.
