FORECASTING THE TERRITIES COMPETITIVENESS’ GROWTH DYNAMICS ON THE BASIS OF PRIORITY DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS
At the current stage of our country development, major attention is given to the territories of priority social-economic development. However despite the available draft laws regarding these territorial entities, the issues of defining their anticipated status as to long-term and mid-term perspectives are not given proper attention. With the purpose of completing this task, this paper offers the model of forecasting the territories competitiveness’ growth dynamics on the basis of priority development indicators. With the aid of correlation analysis, links between the factors of territories competitiveness and priority development indicators were detected. The model enables assessment of the incremental growth of the territories competitiveness in the short-term perspective as well as elaboration of the management decisions as to developing territorial entities. The offered approach can be recommended to the public authorities and to the business community in the process of taking investment and management decisions.
