Abstract

The course of economical development of Ukraine predetermines its integration in the global economy. Iron ore mines of Ukraine are the main raw material supply for the iron industry in the country and for large exporters of iron ore products to many countries of the world. Nevertheless, at the cost and quality of the iron ore products, Ukraine gives way to the world’s leaders in this area (Sweden, Canada, Australia, etc.). The authors have made an attempt to understand the component-by-component structure of competitive potential and to reveal its growth opportunities in Ukraine as against competitive potential of the world’s top mines (which is conventionally assumed as 100%). The work tool of the analysis is the method of expert appraisement of influence exerted by each component on factual competitive ability of a mine. From the comparison of the estimated figures of the influence characteristics obtained for the same type mines in the world’s leading countries and in Ukraine, it is found that the main cause of retardation of Ukrainian mines and mining-and-processing integrated works lies in the management–engineering sphere of their performance. On the whole, one-type mines in Ukraine use their competitive potential merely by 63.2%. The upbuilding of the competitive potential is the prime way of achieving improvement in the iron ore industry performance in Ukraine.

This article is published in the order of discussion.
