Today, many enterprises are facing the need to increase their competitiveness. One of the possible ways of such an increase is the implementation of energy-saving technological changes (ESTC). Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop and apply an instrumentation that would allow assessing the impact of ESTC on the level of competitiveness of enterprises. The article builds a model of such an impact based on the use of relevant indicators of competitiveness of companies. In particular, one of such indicators is the relative level of profitability of the enterprise's products, i.e. the ratio of this profitability of a particular company to the average profitability of products of all competing enterprises. A method of decomposition of the indicator of product profitability growth has been developed, the use of which allows determining the degree of influence of ESTC at enterprises on this indicator. A method for assessing the impact of ESTC on the level of competitiveness of firms has been proposed. This method has two modifications (direct and two-stage assessment) and provides for assessing the statistical significance of the relationship between the scale of ESTC at enterprises and the ratio of the growth rate of a particular enterprise's revenues from sales of its products and the average growth rate of revenues of all competing enterprises. Both modifications of the developed method have been tested on samples of Ukrainian enterprises belonging to three industries and consuming natural gas. The study has shown that, according to both methodological approaches, with an increase in the level of ESTC, the value of the ratio between the growth rate of enterprise revenues from sales of products and the average growth rate of revenues of all competitors’ increases. It was found that the impact of ESTC on the competitiveness of the studied enterprises is statistically significant. It was also found that in all three industries the increase in product profitability was due to the implementation of ESTC. In the end, the research has shown that the implementation of ESTC at the studied enterprises not only increased the competitiveness of most of them, but also contributed to their energy-saving economic development.

摘要

Today, many enterprises are facing the need to increase their competitiveness. One of the possible ways of such an increase is the implementation of energy-saving technological changes (ESTC). Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop and apply an instrumentation that would allow assessing the impact of ESTC on the level of competitiveness of enterprises. The article builds a model of such an impact based on the use of relevant indicators of competitiveness of companies. In particular, one of such indicators is the relative level of profitability of the enterprise's products, i.e. the ratio of this profitability of a particular company to the average profitability of products of all competing enterprises. A method of decomposition of the indicator of product profitability growth has been developed, the use of which allows determining the degree of influence of ESTC at enterprises on this indicator. A method for assessing the impact of ESTC on the level of competitiveness of firms has been proposed. This method has two modifications (direct and two-stage assessment) and provides for assessing the statistical significance of the relationship between the scale of ESTC at enterprises and the ratio of the growth rate of a particular enterprise's revenues from sales of its products and the average growth rate of revenues of all competing enterprises. Both modifications of the developed method have been tested on samples of Ukrainian enterprises belonging to three industries and consuming natural gas. The study has shown that, according to both methodological approaches, with an increase in the level of ESTC, the value of the ratio between the growth rate of enterprise revenues from sales of products and the average growth rate of revenues of all competitors’ increases. It was found that the impact of ESTC on the competitiveness of the studied enterprises is statistically significant. It was also found that in all three industries the increase in product profitability was due to the implementation of ESTC. In the end, the research has shown that the implementation of ESTC at the studied enterprises not only increased the competitiveness of most of them, but also contributed to their energy-saving economic development.
