Summary

Introduction

The Latvian economy is characterized by a small number of export-capable sectors. This renders the Latvian economy sensitive to any changes in the external environment, does not provide the necessary stability and sustainability, and prevents the maximum potential of the national economy from being reached. Experts acknowledge that the improvement of people’s well-being can be ensured by raising capital investment in export-capable manufacturing and service sectors (NDP, 2014–2020). How does this situation correspond to the era of modern globalization, it needs to be investigated. An analysis of external environment perspective of country is necessary to predict long-term survival of the business companies in conjunction with economic dimensions of globalization. The case studies of external business environment perspective in Estonia, Netherlands, Sweden – counties with high survival rates of new enterprises are used to answer why the survival rates of companies are different in different countries
