konkurentsivõimelisena

Konkurentsivõimelisena is an Estonian form of the adjective konkurentsivõimeline (competitive) used to express a state or role: “as competitive” or “in a competitive state.” It is most often encountered in formal or technical language, particularly in business, economics, and policy contexts.

Linguistic use and meaning. The form conveys how someone or something operates or is positioned in relation to competition. It can describe a company, economy, region, or policy environment that is functioning in a competitive manner or is intended to be competitive. In practice, it is used with verbs of being or acting, for example to say that an organization operates konkurentsivõimelisena or aims to remain konkurentsivõimelisena. It is not a standalone adjective but a specific case/form that links the description to a state of competitiveness.

Context and examples. Typical settings include strategic planning, market analysis, and government or corporate communications. Examples ( Estonian with rough translations):

- Ettevõte peab olema konkurentsivõimelisena, et säilitada oma turuosa. (The company must be competitive to maintain its market share.)

- Riigi investeerimisõhu ja äri-õiguslik keskkond aitab olla konkurentsivõimelisena. (A favorable investment and business environment helps to be competitive.)

- Nõustuv tehnoloogia ja tööjõu kvalifikatsioon on võtmetes, et püsida konkurentsivõimelisena. (Adopting technology and skilled labor is key to remaining competitive.)

See also. The concept is closely related to konkurentsivõime (competitiveness) and konkurentsivõimelisus, from which konkurentsivõimelisena derives as a state-oriented form. In usage, it remains most common in formal writing and analytical contexts.
