Special Focus: Slovenian Economy |
Slovenia is a small open economy that enjoys prosperity and stability. It can be fairly characterized as a developed country something that is highlighted by the fact that became the first 2004 European Union entrant to adopt the euro. Slovenia is beneficiated by a developed infrastructure, a well-educated work force, and a strategic location between the Balkans and Western Europe. Nevertheless, the abovementioned economic prosperity was seriously averted during 2009 due to the global financial crisis. Gross domestic Product (GDP) declined by 7.3% mainly due to the significant drop in exports and gross fixed capital formation.

Slovenia in the New Globalized Economic
Nowadays, globalization is a key element for any national economy and Slovenian economy has not been an exception. Slovenia grasped the opportunity and developed an active strategy in order to draw profit from globalization advantages and at the same time to share responsibility for the control of related risks at the international level. After all, it is reasonable for a small country to give priority in joining international socioeconomic organizations and use them as a vehicle for connecting to global production systems, as well as world trade and finance.

This is the organization’s survey of Slovenia’s economy. It includes a variety of subjects such as the challenges that the Slovenian economy faces due to the new socio-economical environment that the entrance to the Monetary Union created and the problems that the global economic crisis created.

Handbook on Small Nations in the Global Economy: The Contribution of Multinational Enterprises to National Economic Success, by Daniel Van Den Bulcke, Alain Verbeke, Wenlong Yuan
The Globalization of a national economy is a rather important parameter that delineates its competitiveness. It is a common belief that success of a specific industry in a nation critically depends on the configuration and interplay among four sets of conditions, factor condition; demand conditions; related and supporting industries; strategy and finally structure and rivalry. The outcome of a favorable configuration and interplay of the aforementioned criteria, leads to an internationally competitive industry, as measured by exports or outwards foreign direct investment. However, in the case of small economies, the aforementioned conditions are unlikely to exist for all sets of conditions simultaneously. This book is trying to delineate which conditions are the most important.
