چکیده
Today, many governments follow a strategy of national competitiveness for fostering economic development.

The article distinguishes between four special concepts of national competitiveness and approaches of competitive advantage. It is argued that national competitiveness should be seen as a relative rather than an absolute concept that allows for a benchmarking of nations.
