Introduction

The following report discuses the business plan for business decision making. In order to verify the theoretical basis for definition of the key company competitiveness factors, an empirical research should be conducted (Guillén, 2000, pp.371). Experts representing institutions of local and national government level, business organizations and non-governmental organizations who personally deal with company competitiveness management issues were researched (Rubin, 2009, pp. 166).
