Abstract

Western nations, limiting economic relations with Russia, contribute to the formation of relevant imperatives of a competitive economy. Ensuring a high level of economy competitiveness cannot be possible without qualitative methods of its assessment. This paper considers I. Adizes’ methodology-based approach to assessing competitiveness of socio-economic systems. The authors of the paper propose a composite competitiveness index including four indicators (performance, consistency, proactiveness and organicity of the socio-economic system) for baseline assessment of competitiveness of socio-economic systems. As far as dynamic assessment is concerned, it is proposed to form individual short-term and long-term competitiveness indices. Performance and consistency indicators are used to form the individual short-term competitiveness index. Proactiveness and organicity indicators are used to form the individual long-term competitiveness index. Comparative assessment of Volgograd Region’s industries has been carried out. The indicator of a specific industry performance has been calculated as the share of an industry’s enterprises in the turnover of all Volgograd Region’s organizations. The other indicators have been calculated as follows: the consistency indicator as an industry’s share of gross value added, the proactiveness indicator as an industry’s share of fixed investment and the organicity indicator as an industry’s share in the total number of Volgograd Region’s enterprises and organizations.
