欧洲理事会同意欧盟委员会的提议，启动一项新的就业和增长战略-欧洲联盟新的明智、可持续和包容性增长战略-“欧洲2020”。这将导致一个新的竞争力的概念和更深层次的可持续发展与竞争力之间的关系。本文的目的是结合竞争力概念的发展和现有的研究趋势，提出竞争力理论未来的研究方向。一方面，为了发展新的竞争力概念，有必要对现有的竞争力研究进行批判性分析。研究者们在研究竞争力问题时，对竞争力的概念有不同的理解，提出了不同的竞争力定义、分类、因素、模型和评价标准。然而，尽管对竞争力进行了所有的讨论，但尚未制定出竞争力的明确定义或模式。另一方面，全球化、经济活力和社会进步、可持续性和竞争力是相辅相成的。竞争力应该以广阔的经济和社会愿景为基础。在全球化的背景下，有必要开展研究活动，以发展“可持续竞争力”的新概念，其中大部分研究侧重于可持续发展和竞争力如何相互作用。这种额外的研究将导致新的理论模型，描述国际全球化，经济增长，可持续发展，福祉和竞争力之间的关系。
European Council agreed to the European Commission's proposal to launch a new strategy for jobs and growth - the new European Union strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth - "Europe 2020". This will lead to a new concept of the competitiveness and deeper relationship between sustainable development and competitiveness. The aim of this article is to set out the future research area of competitiveness theory taking into account the development of competitiveness concept and existing research tendencies. On the one hand, for developing the new concept of competitiveness, it is necessary to critically analyse existing studies on competitiveness. Researchers, examining the problems of competitiveness, differently approach the concept of competitiveness, suggesting different definitions, classification, factors, models of competitiveness, and evaluation criteria. Despite all the discussions on competitiveness however, no clear definition or model of competitiveness has yet been developed. On the other hand, globalization, economic dynamism and social progress, sustainability and competitiveness go hand-in-hand. Competitiveness should be underpinned by a broad vision for the economy and society. There is a need of research initiatives to develop the new concept of "Sustainable competitiveness" in the context of globalisation, with much of the research focusing on how sustainable development and competitiveness interact. Such additional research will lead to new theoretical models describing the relationships between international globalization, economic growth, sustainable development, wellbeing and competitiveness.
