Abstract
Nowadays the speculation about competitiveness is so extensive and intensive when scientific community expresses concern over potential influence of this discussion on acceptance of the large-scale governmental and corporate decisions engaging not only the industry and the market but also other major spheres of society. By virtue of the fact that this discussion is notable for its essential conceptual and terminological random nature, it is necessary to open a window on its purposes and to provide the key term being at the heart of debate—the very concept of “competitiveness.”

As is known, a concept of law in economy and management of economic processes is of conditional character. Rigorous definition of the law even in the natural phenomena is limited by certain conditions. For example, the Ohm’s law is not exercised in ultralow temperatures when superconductivity takes place. The laws in economy, as “internal, essential, stable, recurring cause-and-effect relations within the system of production relations” (New Economic Dictionary, - М, New Economy Institute, 2008), a fortiori, cannot have the absolute character beyond the control of economic agent. Using a concept of law within a context of competitiveness management, the author tries to underline the specified objective law which proves to be more strong when there is a more effective feedback (from effect to cause) in the economic structure—which already finds itself within the possibility space of the Manager, i.e., Organizer of economic activities. At the same time, failure to follow the specified objective laws will rather lead to the same effect as a result of deviation from indicative planning—growth in the loss of opportunities.
