Vashkiv O. PRODUCT COMPETITIVENESS AND STAGES OF ITS EVALUATION

This document discusses the stages of evaluating product competitiveness. It begins by defining product competitiveness as reflecting a product's differences from competitors in meeting social needs at a lower cost. There are six main stages of evaluation: 1) establishing the evaluation purpose, 2) choosing a comparison base, 3) selecting key product parameters, 4) comparing parameters, 5) calculating competitiveness indicators, and 6) formulating conclusions and ways to improve competitiveness. The methodology involves establishing parameters, calculations, comparisons, analysis, and interpretation to assess a product's competitiveness level against competitors.

PRODUCT COMPETITIVENESS AND STAGES OF ITS EVALUATION

In the scientific literature there is no single universally accepted term for the
interpretation of product competitiveness. Most definitions in this category are based
on two main methodological approaches. According to the first, competitiveness is
viewed as a set of product properties, which reflects its difference from a competitor
product, both in terms of the degree to which a particular social need is consistent
and in the cost of meeting it (technical level, quality, price). According to the second
approach, competitiveness is considered as the degree of conformity of the goods to
the requirements of target consumer groups according to their most important
characteristics. That is, about the possibility of selling goods on a particular market
at a certain point in time.
In modern markets, the competitiveness of products is directly related to its
quality and a number of its properties, focused on satisfying both existing and
potential consumer demand. In addition, a product can be considered competitive if
its selling price does not exceed the market price, and the quality is not inferior in
its characteristics to goods of a similar purpose that are presented on the market.
Thus, the competitiveness of products can be interpreted as a characteristic
that reflects its difference from a competitor product and as it matches a specific
social need, and in terms of the cost of satisfying it. The basis for assessing the
8

competitiveness of products are the results of a study of customer needs and market
requirements. Indicators reflecting such a difference characterize the level of
competitiveness of the analyzed product in comparison with a competing product or
a reference sample.
Considering that the needs of a particular consumer are formed under the
influence of a certain complex of factors and are marked by an individual character,
the estimates of the same product by different consumers may differ from each other.
Ultimately, consumers will give different preferences to specific products, their
choice from the mass of similar products on the market. The consumer considers the
products to be competitive if the ratio of benefit and costs is the largest compared to
other products. Consequently, with respect to a particular consumer, the
competitiveness of a product is a purely individual characteristic.
The highest recognition among consumers is given to those products that are
able to satisfy a specific social need the most, and allow you to distinguish it from
the total mass of goods, thus ensuring its success in the competition. From what has
been said, the conclusion suggests that the competitiveness of products is its relative
characteristic, since it can only be established as a result of comparison.
The competitiveness of products depends on a number of factors that affect
the priorities of choice and the volume of its implementation on the market:
1) technical and economic factors that determine the conditions of production:
quality, uniqueness, ease of use, cost, operating costs of the consumer, the level of
personnel potential and managerial structures of the producer;
2) commercial factors that determine the conditions for the sale of products:
sales forms, price, level of discounts, forms and terms of payment, advertising, the
effectiveness of marketing services, guarantees and level of service;
3) regulatory factors that reflect the level of compliance with the requirements
of technical, environmental, moral and ethical safety in the process of using
products, compliance with patent legal requirements.
In the process of managing the competitiveness of products, an important
issue is to establish the degree of influence of each of the factors on the level of
competitiveness. Therefore, the selection of the most important of them at a certain
9

stage of the product’s life cycle allows not only to improve its quality, but also to
take into account changes in market conditions with respect to properties and
characteristics, reduce production costs, and improve the price-quality ratio.
The methodology for assessing the competitiveness of products as a process
of establishing its level is based on the use of a set of practical techniques and
methods and provides for individual stages of its implementation [1-4]. In particular,
the methodology for assessing the level of competitiveness of products as an integral
result of a wide range of factors involves the establishment of parameters,
calculations, comparisons, their analysis and interpretation.
Assessing the level of competitiveness of goods is carried out in several
stages:
Stage 1. Establishment of the purpose of the assessment. Assessment of
competitiveness begins with the establishment of the purpose of the study:
comparison with competing products; assessment of sales prospects in the market.
However, regardless of the objectives of the study, the assessment of
competitiveness should be based on a study of market conditions. This stage should
be carried out continuously, both before the development of new products, and at all
stages of its life cycle. The main task in this case is to identify a group of factors that
affect the formation of market demand the most.
Stage 2. Choosing a comparison base. Market research and customer
requirements are the basis for choosing a comparison base. Such a base is most often
the most competitive reference product on the market. It must fully comply with
market regulatory requirements. If it is impossible to determine the basis of
comparison, then you can use the indirect method of assessing competitiveness using
a theoretical model. It allows you to simulate the needs of consumers and compare
its parameters with the parameters of the evaluated products.
For the right choice of a comparison base, the following is carried out: “setting
the goal of assessing the competitiveness of products; selection of prospective
markets for products; analysis of markets, volumes and patterns of supply and
demand, the dynamics of their changes for the period of the assessment ”[2, p. 195].
10

Stage 3. Selection of the range of product parameters. Assessment of


competitiveness is based on a comparison of the main parameters of the analyzed
products with specific consumer needs. Therefore, in the process of their selection,
it is necessary to focus on the criteria by which the consumer operates when choosing
a product.
Stage 4. Comparison and analysis of product parameters. For each of the
groups of selected parameters, they are compared with the stated consumer needs,
which makes it possible to find out how much the properties of the products
approach the corresponding parameter of satisfying the need.
Analysis of product competitiveness begins with an assessment of regulatory
parameters. “If at least one of them does not meet the level stipulated by regulatory
documents and standards, then a further assessment of the competitiveness of
products does not make sense, regardless of the result of comparison in other
parameters” [2, p. 189].
Stage 5. Calculation of indicators of product competitiveness. At this stage,
based on single indicators, the corresponding group indicators are calculated. The
obtained result in quantitative form reflects the level of compliance of the studied
products with the stated needs for a certain group of parameters. It allows you to
judge the degree of satisfaction of the relevant consumer needs.
The next sub-step is the calculation of the integral indicator, which is used to
assess the competitiveness of products in all groups of its parameters.
Stage 6. Formulation of general conclusions and development of ways to
increase the competitiveness of products. Based on the results of evaluating the
competitiveness of products, conclusions are drawn regarding its level. Based on
them, taking into account current and strategic market challenges, ways to optimally
increase the competitiveness of products are developed and selected.
In modern conditions of increased competition, domestic enterprises are often
faced with the need for an objective assessment of their competitiveness and product
competitiveness. To this end, you can resort to the above methodology, be sure to
consider the industry-specific production and product features.

The main tool that determines the performance and efficiency of any company
is the development and implementation of competitive strategies. The lack of
development at the entity level usually leads to a loss of competitiveness and
bankruptcy. The general idea is the development of competitive strategy action plan
that provides a positive economic impact due to the fact that the company turns in a
strong position at the expense of established competitive advantages.
Often the term «competitive strategy» is explained by scientists (M. Porter,
G. Katardzhaya, J. Barney, W. Hesterly, P. Kotler,) as a roadmap of directions and
actions that should provide a more favorable position of the company compared to
its competitors by creating competitive advantage and task orientation [1; 3-5]. The
end result of strategies for creating competitive advantage is often the increased rate
of growth of market share, market differentiation and product differentiation.
