THE MACROECONOMIC DIMENSION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SYSTEM APPROACH TOWARDS THE MANAGEMENT

The study provides the results of the analysis of the relation between the numer of the granted certificates of management systems, chosen macroeconomic data and indicators characterizing the EU27 member states. The strongest correlations were noticed between the number of gathered certificates and such factors as: employment in medium-sized enterprises, the value of trade and the value of foreign investments, the area, the population and the weak correlation was noticed with the inflation. While the problem of the influence of the certification on the activity in the microeconomic scale was described in details in literature, it is hard to find a lot of studies in which the relations between the number of the certified organizations in the country and its macroeconomic condition were analyzed.
