COMPETITIVENESS OF RUSSIA IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

Abstract

Тhis article discusses the main aspects and problems of the competitiveness of the Russian Federation in the international arena. In the context of the global crisis phenomena, the problem of the formation of sustainable competitiveness has acquired particular relevance due to the increase in the variability of the external environment. In the context of the intensification of the struggle for each country, the task of maintaining and improving its own competitiveness comes to the fore. Its most important manifestations are the transnationalization of entrepreneurial activities of firms and the rapid development of information technologies, which largely determine the competitiveness of the subjects of the world economy. For the current period, the main problems of Russia's competitiveness are: a low level of quality of state institutions, indicators of investment in traditional and technological infrastructure, in education and continuous professional development of the workforce (it is specialists with technical education that the economy needs), indicators of the state of infrastructure (the degree of compliance of market infrastructure with business needs, the development of basic, technological, scientific, information and social infrastructure), therefore, the relevance of the study is justified by Russia's low positions as a competitive state on the world stage, while having high economic, political and resource potential, as well as the main center of gravity of foreign investment. One of the proposed options is to increase the level of competitiveness. This model will allow us to achieve the main goal of the study - to improve Russia's competitiveness in the international market.
