Logistics Performance and its Connection to Competitiveness of the National Economy in Slovenia and the Visegrad Group

Summary/Abstract: The importance of logistics in achieving competitive advantage and better performance is increasing almost daily. Logistics is gaining in importance due to changes in the business environment and the increasing integration of global economies. Its role is evident especially through lowering costs and adding value to the final product. Throughout the paper, we will research core (basic) aims of logistics and its relationship to the competitiveness of the national economy. With a literature review and a comparative study, we will research the correlation between the Logistics performance index, developed by the World Bank, and the Global competitiveness index, developed by the World Economic Forum. The research will focus on Slovenia and on the four countries of the Visegrad Group, but the findings have potential for broader application in the region.
