Abstract

The chapter offers an institutional approach to the issue of international business competitiveness. It is assumed that the micro-level, business-oriented factors of competitiveness are influenced by macro-level and institutional factors. These institutional factors can be analysed with the FOI model developed at the University of Miskolc by the Institute of Economic Theory.
