Competitiveness,economic growth and development of Bosnia and Herzegovina: From Matter to Spirit, From Ignorance to Knowledge

The first part of this book is about a development path of the competitiveness and economic growth and development from the focus on material, tangible things (capital, labour, natural resources) to the focus on intangible factors – ideas, knowledge, technology, inovation. We are starting from the approaches based exclusively on natural resources, via those which included physical and financial capital and labour as key factors to those which put human factor issues first, in treating competitiveness and economic growth and development. The second part deals with the analysis of the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Here we analyze most important elements for the development of the economy in B&H, a private sector, scientific and technological institutions (universities, faculties, institutes, etc.), educational and government institutions for economic development. The special focus here is on the change from the environment where a majority of population lacks skills and knowledge to create competitive products and services for domestic, regional, European and global markets to the environment in which most people possess them. Basically, we analyze possibilities of transition from the present-day economic model characterized by use of a semiskilled labour force and manufacture of products with low added value to the knowledge-based development model. In simple words, from ignorance to knowledge. In the third part we offer strategic approach for this transition in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It consists of 3 strategic goals, 4 prerequisite priority areas (with lower priority comparing to strategic goals), 27 operational objectives and prerequisite objectives, and 168 concrete measures and activities to accomplish a transition from the present-day economic model to the knowledge- based one.
