Abstract

The article provides a methodical approach to estimating competitiveness of regional industries that determines the competitiveness integral index including individual indexes of short-term and long-term competitiveness. The indexes are estimated basing on four indicators: functionality, systematicity, proactivity and integrity. The method has been approbated on 11 industries of Volgograd Oblast. The study revealed that the most competitive industry of 2010-2017 was “Processing” because it has the highest competitiveness integral index of 20.5-27.5 p. Three outsider industries with competitiveness integral index within 0.2-0.7 p. range are “Hotels and Restaurants”, “Healthcare and Social Services”, “Education”. Most industries have their indexes in-between leading and outsider ones. The values of their competitiveness integral indexes are within 2.0-15.5 p. range. These industries include “Transport and Communication”, “Power, Gas and Water Production and Supply”, “Agriculture, Hunting and Forestry”, “Real Estate Operations, Renting and Services”, “Mining” and “Construction”. Basing on the estimation results, we propose to maintain and develop a differentiated structure of main Volgograd Oblast industries. The authors conclude that the method used for the analysis can be applied for estimating competitiveness of industries of any region.
