摘要:Starting from the theories in the field of foreign investments and competitive advantages,this study presents an analysis of the relation between innovative ability,competitiveness and net outward investment position.The results of the analysis carried out for the 27 Member States of the European Union demonstrate that,regardless of the changes which have occurred in the timeframe 2005-2011,the European countries,strongly competitive due to the high levels of innovation are outward investors,while countries characterized by a low level of innovation and competitiveness show negative values of net outward investment position.Therefore,the main source of competitiveness at global level stems from the ability of local firms to support innovation in the technological,managerial and organizational field,the level of innovation index reflecting more accurate the net outward investment position,to the extent to which the sources of innovation and competitiveness are specific to companies.
