Grzegorzewska, Emilia A comparison of the importance of the furniture manufacturing in EU countries using cluster analysis and Hellwig's method / Emilia Grzegorzewska, Mariana Sedliačiková, Ján Kalafús. -- Tab. -- Lit. - The goal of the paper was to compare the importance of the furniture manufacturing industry in the European Union and indicate the groups of countries showing similarities in terms of the selected economic and production features. For this purpose, cluster analysis and multivariate linear ordering analysis were conducted. Italy, Poland and Germany were at the forefront of the list taking into account selected economic and production indicators of the furniture industry. The last places in the ranking were taken by small countries (Luxembourg, Cyprus, Malta, Greece) characterised by a low level of the furniture production and a relatively small number of enterprises. The conducted research allowed to determine the position of the furniture manufacturing industry of the EU countries as well as to identify the most relevant competitors within certain strategic groups. This may influence the national strategy of building a competitive advantage on the international market.
