Competitiveness of Slovenian economy and investment in sustainable development

Z diplomskim delom smo poskušali razumeti pojem konkurenčnosti in ga predstaviti na modelu Slovenije. Konkurenčnost Slovenije je predstavljena po dveh ključnih metodologijah – metodologiji WEF in metodologiji IMD. Poskušali smo najti dejavnike, v katerih je Slovenija dobra in ima konkurenčno prednost, pa tudi tiste dejavnike in področja, ki ovirajo konkurenčnost Slovenije. Z analizo indeksov, ki jih vsaka izmed organizacij uporablja, je bila narejena podrobnejša raziskava posameznih področij. Tako smo tudi poskušali ugotoviti, kateri so ključni dejavniki, na katerih bi v Sloveniji še morali graditi. Izpostavili pa smo tudi pomembne konkurenčne prednosti Slovenije in njene najbolj konkurenčne sektorje – tukaj smo se osredotočili predvsem na inovacijske grozde. Posvetili smo se še pomenu trajnostnega razvoja in pokušali razumeti, koliko se mu posveča Slovenija. Ne nazadnje pa poskušamo najti še načine, na katere lahko konkurenčnost Slovenije tudi izboljšamo.With the diploma work we tried to understand the concept of competitiveness and present it on the model of Slovenia. Slovenia\u27s competitiveness is presented according to two key methodologies - the WEF methodology and the IMD methodology. We tried to find the factors in which Slovenia is good and has a competitive advantage, as well as those factors and areas that hinder Slovenia\u27s competitiveness. With the help of the analysis of the indexes used by each of the organizations, a more detailed research of individual areas was made. In this way, we also tried to find out what are the key factors on which we should still build on in Slovenia. We also highlighted the important competitive advantages of Slovenia and its most competitive sectors - here we focused mainly on innovation clusters. We also focused on the importance of sustainable development and tried to understand the extent to which Slovenia is committed to it. Finally, we are trying to find ways in which we can improve Slovenia\u27s competitiveness
