Abstract

Competitiveness research projects, especially in the United States, revealed and described some phenomena, having become commonplaces by now, for the first time in the 1980s. Examples of such phenomena are the following: each developed market economy can be described as an open economy and we have to live and manage in a global economy. Competitiveness research projects formulated suggestions for governments and business leaders on how to cope with the evolving phenomena. They also provided their theoretical backgrounds but there are still some theoretical and empirical dilemmas in competitiveness research projects regardless of their effectiveness. One such dilemma is their either economics or business origin. The paper discusses the main reason for this and suggests that competitiveness research projects have brought a system paradigm that makes necessary the modification and reinterpretation of traditional borderlines and the scope of economics and business studies.
