Item მართლმადიდებლობა და ეკონომიკა (Orthodoxy and economy)(უნივერსალი (Universal), 2013) გაგნიძე (Gagnidze), ინეზა (Ineza)Concept of the “New Athens and New Jerusalem” proposed by the Georgian King St. David IV the Builder is topical until now. Construction of a building starts from its foundation. Therefore industrial relationships in Georgia must be based upon the strong foundation in a form of the “comprehended religion” – Orthodox Christianity. For generations who grew in Soviet Georgia without any religious education, orthodox studies were counted to be the field only for philologists and historians. Younger generations inherited this approach from them. That is why, even today orthodox studies and theory of economics are considered to be quite demarcated fields. The work discusses the arguments of necessity for the intervention of the state in the education system and the educational functions of the state. One of the arguments of the state in the education system is “the necessity to establish “the general value in the society”. Therefore, we believe that the norms introduced as a result of reforms to the educational system of the country must not be contrary to the established rules and customs for centuries in Georgia that were determined by the influence of Christian religion. That means the generation of harmonic dependence between knowledge and faith in individual. This view is supported by the work of thinkers: Goethe, Planck, Einstein and others' statements. There are also the opinions of Saint Ilia the Righteous (Ilia Chavchavadze), Saint Gabriel Bishop (Kikodze) and Catholic-Patriarch of all Georgia Ilia II. Based on the Old and New Testaments, the issue of transformation of the snake from the symbol of evil to the symbol of wisdom is explained. According to the well-known experts, any political, social and economical model in an individual country undergoes change in accordance with religious-national features and traditions. Historically Georgia underwent permanent attacks from the countries with different culture (qualitatively and from the viewpoint of the level of development). The above difficulties forced the country to quickly and adequately react on the novelties foisted on the country and to adapt to them. In the main, such adaptation was superfluous and was characterized with resistance against features unacceptable to the traditional culture: the Georgian culture and traditions in a course of centuries were determined by teaching of the Orthodoxy. Shown: the main principles of labour relationship and compensation according to the Bible, the possibilities of its imploring and its implementing in economics of Georgia. The presented work also deals with the comparison of wisdom given in the gospel and the views of Prof. Gregory Mankiw, Harvard University, about decision making process by individuals given in his book “Principles of Economics”. In the presented work there are some extracts from the gospel and Holy Write which are analogous to the considerations discussed in the textbook “Principles of Economics” and which suggest the ways to solve the definite problems. This is one more proof that wisdom given in orthodox studies is eternal. In his famous research Competitive Advantages of Nations M. Porter, a,well-known professor from Harvard University, wrote: “Competitiveness of a country is a result of combination of its organizational model and management practices, which are the most acceptable for certain countries and competitiveness sources of certain industries. Differences in national values, culture, economic structure, functioning organizations and historic development make contribution to obtaining competitive advantages”. In the yearbook for 2011 produced by the world competitiveness research center of Lozano, over 300 criteria for world competitiveness are divided into 4 major groups: 1. Economic Performance; 2. Government Efficiency; 3. Business Efficiency; 4. Infrastructure. “Approaches and Values” is one of the five sub factors determining business effectiveness, which in its turn is assessed with seven indicators, namely: attitudes toward globalization; the country’s image abroad; national culture; flexibility and adaptability; need for economic and social reforms; value system; corporate values. The article provides citations from the Gospel and Epistles, the information from the website of the Ministry of Economics and opinions of famous Georgian researchers, which prove that Orthodox religion is one of the important factors for raising competitiveness of Georgia’s economy.Item ქვეყნების კონკურენტუნარიანობა და კლასტერები: ისტორია და თანამედროვეობა (Country competitiveness and clusters: history and nowadays)(უნივერსალი (Universal), 2012) გაგნიძე (Gagnidze), ინეზა (Ineza)თანამედროვე ეკონომიკურ თეორიაში ნაციონალური კონკურენტუნარიანობა ერთ-ერთი ყველაზე საკამათო და კვლევის თვალსაზრისით, საკმაოდ რთული საკითხია. ამავდროულად, პოსტსაბჭოთა გარდამავალი ეკონომიკის მქონე ქვეყნები დგანან ისეთი დიდი გამოწვევის წინაშე, როგორიცაა ქვეყნის ეკონომიკის ანვითარებისა და ახალ გარემოებებთან ადაპტაციის შესაბამისი ისეთი ეკონომიკური პოლიტიკის შემუშავება, რამაც უმოკლეს ვადაში უნდა განაპირობოს განსხვავებული სასტარტო პირობებისა და მემკვიდრეობის, ტრადიციებისა და ეროვნული კულტურის ფასე-ულობების მქონე ქვეყნების წარმატება. აღნიშნული მიზნის მისაღწევად, გარდამავა-ლი ეკონომიკის მქონე მრავალი ქვეყანა თავისი ეკონომიკის განვითარების სტრატე-გიაში წარმატებით იყენებს ნაციონალური კონკურენტუნარიანობისა და კლასტერების კონცეფციებს. ვფიქრობთ, მათი გამოყენება საქართველოს ეკონომიკის პირობებშიც ასევე წარმატებული იქნება. წარმოდგენილი ნაშრომი, ერთგვარი გზამკვლევის როლს შეასრულებს ამ საკითხებზე მომუშავე მეცნიერების, სტუდენტების, პრაქტიკოსი ეკონომისტებისა და დაინტერესებული მკითხველის ფართო წრისთვის. (We got interested in the scientific study of competitiveness and clusters a few years ago while preparing a masters course for the students. The interest deepened and gradually it turned into scientific and research direction. The main part of the present monograph consists of the papers presented at different international and interuniversity scientific conferences and the articles published in different journals since 2007, which have been specially reviewed and revised for the monograph. All the references noted in the monograph are kept in our private library (e-version and or hard copy) and we would gladly share them with anyone, interested in the issue. Taking into account the depth and the importance of the issue discussed, the volume of the monograph is rather small, though, it will give a general idea to the reader willing to know more about country competitiveness and clusters. Two interuniversity scientific conferences “Economy of Georgia in the World Competitiveness Indicators: Problems and Perspectives”, held at the Faculty of Economics and Business of Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University in 2008 and 2010 were dedicated to the issue of global competitiveness of countries. The conferences were initiated by us and we actively participated in organizing them. We would like to note that the present work is one of the first large-scale publications regarding this issue. This is a great honor for us but a great responsibility at the same, as the work can’t be complete and comprehensive. A large amount of information was translated and processed by us for the first time and thus, there is a possibility that some of the terms and definitions are not quite properly interpreted. Taking into consideration all the above-mentioned, there might be some mistakes and inaccuracies in the text and we would be grateful to everyone for indicating them to us. The issues of clusters and competitiveness are controversial and at the same time very important for further development of Georgia’s economy and we hope that a lot of articles and monographs will be dedicated to these issues in future as well. We appreciate all such initiatives and suppose to continue our research in this direction either.)
