"Competitiveness has emerged as important discipline in area of strategy and research efforts have brought many interesting perspective and frameworks at national and regional level. Seeing competitiveness from competence point of view, role of factors lead to competitive success of countries and regions. The most im-portant is the nature of these factors. Factors of competitiveness are internal and ex-ternal, input or output type, endogenous or exogenous kind. The paper provides an analysis and evaluation of Regional Competitiveness Index approach (RCI). The main aim of the paper is an interception of internal links among factors of driven forces of competitiveness and internal links among factors of outcomes of competitive society and economy; and to model external relations between these two groups of input and output factors of competitiveness. By application of Structural Equation Modelling method is made simulation of own relationships between variables of RCI and it is thus investigated the importance of territorial characteristics for competitiveness within EU NUTS 2 regions in reference period 2004-2012."@en . . .
