Fundamentals Problems of Regional Competitiveness and Regional Development Factors in the Czech Republic.

Original language description

The analysis of the key factors of the regional development shows that one of the strengths of the Czech Republic’s regional development is qualified and still relatively cheap labour force. Nevertheless, certain professions (based on qualification) are becoming scarce in some parts of the regions due to the development of new entrepreneurial activities related to the influx of direct foreign investment, which is a negative trend both for competitiveness and for regional development in general. Other key factors of the growth of regional competitiveness include the above development of production capacities, related to direct foreign investment, which is closely connected to the actual existence of areas for business development in the regions. This development creates conditions for establishing new links among domestic entrepreneurs and their potential future entry into foreign markets. This fact also helps to identify one of the reasons for the dynamic development of SME in the Czech Republic. Identified weaknesses include mainly those that continue slowing down the development of business activities, e.g. complications related to the very start of business activities. Second, there are weaknesses related to the insufficiencies in different infrastructure areas, e.g. transportation and communication. Third, there are weaknesses related to the functioning of the labour market, e.g. low labour force mobility, housing problems, etc. A generally low support of the development of science and research, cooperation between research institutions and entrepreneurs and knowledge-based economy in general constitute a specific issue, which is negatively reflected in the regions’ competitiveness in today’s global environment.
