Case Study
The purpose of the analysis carried out was to find a way of assessing the development
rate of entities over a period of time based on the hypothesis that an entity is undergoing a
balanced development when displaying the natural rate of growth as described by the Scurve.
The findings of the analysis provide a basis for the planning of further development
activities in the Koroška region. The results can be applied to the following:
 Designing an innovative environment.
 The coordination of regional development planning processes.
 Business strategy design in individual entities.
The analysis covered 821 companies with 12,868
employees. Several selections of companies were made
revealing the situation in economy, development
potentials in the region and the location of companies
within the selected areas.
