ABSTRACT
The last decades of great political, economic and technological changes, also the role of the state, free market
competition, and the internationalization of businesses, have made the environment in which operates businesses to be
quite complex. However, regardless of the environment in which business operates, specialized for a limited number,
they will be subject to competitive pressures and this is why competitive strategy problems are especially important for
growth of small and medium economic subjects.
Through the strategy, business executives need to answer questions, for example: where they are, where they
should arrive and what to undertake to achieve certain goals. Conceptually, the strategy sets out the definitions of the
market, competition, customer needs, technology, demographic changes and a large number of other factors that determine
the strategic formulation of action. Given that, small and medium enterprises today represent more than 98% of companies
in the EU, and as a result, many national organizations for export promotion are increasingly necessary to support the small
sector of the economy as an incentive for the creation of new values through development programs,
which are characterized by flexibility and innovation.
In this international scientific conference, we will represent the working strategy of the private company
Ing. Luli from Struga, Republic of Macedonia, also we will show the real possibilities of the company and at the same
time most important its contribution to the regional development.

INTRODUCTION
We are aware that contemporary world today with the development of technologies and techniques,
offers great chances to subjects of small and medium enterprises, and with that being more competitive in a market
economy, also to the economic and initiative of national and international development. Prosecution of economic entities
means the process of transformation from the existing situation in the new one. The challenges of globalization with which
obviously small and medium economic subjects in Macedonia are faced, are imperative for the establishment of strategic
objectives and maintain competitive advantages in the market.
One of the main issues for the economy of The Republic of Macedonia is the definition for open market economy,
which means liberalization and integration of markets, rapid economic development, improving business and investment
climate, and free products with quality and popularity.

.
Considering the fact that economic efficiency and regional competitiveness is a complex phenomenon,
the Ministry of Economy is working actively on creating a more favorable climate. The main goal is work and promotion
in the economic competitiveness of firms through the Program for development of entrepreneurship, competitiveness and
innovation of the small and medium enterprises, through the program for development of clusters industrial policy,
international cooperation, promotion of foreign and local investment, are working actively in creating a more favorable
climate of work and promotion in the economic competitiveness of firms also
2
.
As a result of the development of economic entities and individual equity, contemporary trends bend it
increasingly at the center of tools, for increasing the sustained competitive of ability, and with that becoming an important
factor of entrepreneurship, as well as specific guarantees of the future of their business which are limited by a number of
products or services
1
. The fact that small enterprises today consist more than 90% of the companies in the EU many
national organizations for promotion of export, means that it is necessary to support the small sector of the economy as the
incentive to create new values through development programs which are characterized by flexibility and innovation
3
.
The main strategic goal for increasing productivity and quality is the realization of competitive advantage,
because the strategy enables small enterprises, and exploits the weakness of competitive and affordable suburbs in the
market suitable for the development of business culture, which they constantly upgraded. For private and public businesses
success, the management strategy focuses on information systems that are in the service of decision making,
therefore when the company balances long-term risk with short-term commitments, achieves the improvement of activity
of the organization and ignores all the opportunities not related to its basic technology.
In continuation we will mention, strategy as central categories of small and medium economic subjects,
theoretical data on competition, local and regional development, regional development program for regional development
in Macedonia, and also respectively south west regional development plan, vision, goals, priorities and activity of the
company ING-LULI from Struga, Macedonia.

Social cohesion, economic and spatial development between urban and rural municipalities within the region with
its optimal, special and specific use.
Its purpose is to accelerate in the integration processes in the EU and NATO because, according to experts,
the process is frozen in these institutions, causing uncertainty to potential foreign investors in Macedonia. According to the
statistics we have a decline since 2009 (145 mil.EU) and 2010 (132.5 mil.EU)
5
.
Therefore, the objectives and priorities identified in the overall strategy, in accordance with the basic use of the
document, measures and instruments to encourage the development of regions, and their financing, the relevant institutions
and mechanisms for implementation. Those are specified in Action plan (2010 - 2012) for the implementation of regional
development strategy, which in accordance with the law for balanced regional development have been approved for a
period of three years, and is in final stages of preparation, supported financially by the state, donors and stakeholders at
regional and local levels.
Today, the national strategy (continuous program of the government) of the development of small and medium
enterprises (SME) provides basic orientation for the realization of the vision, goals and priorities set out in the field of
entrepreneurship and small and medium enterprises for a long time period. Strategic goals are to increase the number of
SME, increase the number of employment in SME, and increase the contribution of SME in the creation of gross domestic
GDP (national strategy for development of small and medium enterprises, 2002 - 2013).
So, for a period of three years in The Republic of Macedonia, European funds encouraged the competitiveness
and growth of IPA, regional and rural development for small and medium firms. For example, in 2011 are
exploited 98 million EU, in 2012 are exploited 105 million EU, and in 2013 117.2 million EU
6
.
Otherwise, The Republic of Macedonia as a candidate for membership in the European Union (EU), for the period
from 2007 to 2013 were approved 622.5 million euros for funds provided through the IPA pre-accession assistance
programs
7
. The Republic of Macedonia has obtained the right to use decentralized management of pre-accession assistance
tools and components of institutional capacity building, regional development, human resources development and rural
development.

materials supplied by the country and abroad. Then, in 1998 begin to draft a program, for the production of adhesives for
construction.
Furthermore, with such products in the domestic market, emerged in June 1999, with a capacity of 10 tons in one

and also structural increase in the number of workers and expansion of commercial space

We also work with partners to secure the market there, mostly because of quality products and services and
respect for deadlines. Since 2005 we export to Austria, Switzerland and Germany, where there is gradual increase in
production. However, our enterprise also has plans for future development. That is the result of gradual development and
expansion of sustainability in today's market.
The best competition for a clear definition of the company is achieving the vision to compete in the market,
where the objective is developing new products for existing markets (replacement of some components of the product with
new ingredients), also developing the products with certain types of qualities, developing new size in order to extend
product life cycles of existing or to benefit, and to entice consumers with new product.
To achieve success in the organization requires a study of macroeconomic and external micro environment that
will lead to satisfying the needs of the organization. To achieved the competition with other companies with similar
products, is necessary that the company finds a way how to do this, namely to develop strategic analysis of external and
internal environment, who are incoming information tools for enterprise decisions for business success.
