REVEALING INTERDEPENDENCE BETWEEN THE MANUFACTURING READINESS LEVEL AND PROFIT RATE OF HIGH-TECH INDUSTRIES
The paper reviews the known methods of assessing the level of adaptability within the high-tech industries. A technique of ranking high-tech industries according to selected criteria has been devised. The rate of profit in relation to the analysis of industries and identified methodological problems of using this indicator is considered. The most significant result of this work is to identify the relationship between the studied variables using parametric and non-parametric statistical tools to confirm the hypothesis that there is a direct correspondence between the manufacturing readiness level of the industry and its profit rate.
