This paper analyzes
the issue of reindustrialization of Serbia, from the standpoint of industrial
competitiveness. The authors believe that reindustrialization is necessary and
possible only in those industries that have considerable potential for growth
of competitiveness on the international market. The key assumptions for this
are constant growth of innovation and productivity, as well as other factors that
essentially rely on new knowledge and new technology. This development trend is
present in all advanced economies, including the European Union, to which Serbia
aspires. In recent years, reindustrialization has become an increasingly
dominant development strategy on a global scale. It involves a very ambitious
plan related to the development of modern and sophisticated, environmentally responsible
and energy-efficient industries, especially manufacturing sectors, which employ
highly professional workers and foster close cooperation with universities and
research institutes. In this context, governments, rather than the markets, are
becoming the main change drivers, as they can contribute to creating the
necessary industrial “state of mind”, which implies new redistribution of tasks
and effects of labor among the key stakeholders in the process of creating new
values: employees, owners, government, science, education, etc.
