The world is full of business opportunities. This is equally true for individuals, organizations, regions, and countries. And all of these must make choices between alternatives: Shall our company strengthen investments in a new technology to enter additional market segments or is it better to concentrate on our core competences and solidify our current position? Will supporting this new industry open the path for future growth in our region or will it be easier to sustain our competitiveness through facilitating our current economic specialization?
Answering such questions is anything but easy and such decisions usually have long-lasting consequences. It involves the setting of long-term business / economic strategies shaping firms’, regions’, and countries’ developments for considerable time periods. Consequently, such decisions need to be based on a solid assessment and evaluation of reliable information.
