Purpose

The objective of this study is to estimate the competitiveness for both the Greek food and beverage industry as a whole and the flour and milling industry, justifying the certain economic factors and the way which these factors affect on it.

Design/methodology/approach

The Greek food and beverage firms which published their balance sheets for the studying period were studied. According to the existing literature two equations were created and estimated as a simultaneous equations system.

Findings

Summarizing the results both for the whole food and beverage industry and the flour milling industry are observed significant similarities on how certain economics factors such as profitability, market share, sustainable growth, age and operating costs affect on competitiveness as measured in this work. This may happen due to the high degree of concentration but also in the special characteristics which present both the Greek food and beverage industry and the flour milling sector.

Research limitations/implications

The fact that this work referred only in Greek firms can be a limitation of this research, in spite of that it can provide useful and safe conclusions for the Greek food manufacturing industry.

Practical implications

The provision of proposals for increasing firm competitiveness to managers as well as to policymakers.

Social implications

The importance of food and beverage industry for the Greek economy as well as that the flour milling industry holds an important position in the Greek food and beverage industry makes the study of the competitiveness for both of them to be important from both an academic and research perspective.

Originality/value

The Greek food and beverage industry is the strength of Greek manufacturing and at the same time an important lever for the development of the entire Greek economy. The high quality products it produces and the organized promotion of its products in international markets are elements that give it an advantage and stimulate its competitiveness. The flour milling industry is one of the sectors in which there is intense competition and whose presence in terms of sales, turnover, employment and gross value is particularly important, so a simultaneous study of these cases is very important.

希腊食品饮料行业竞争力测算：希腊面粉加工行业与希腊食品饮料行业的比较

目的

本研究的目的是评估整个希腊食品和饮料行业以及面粉和制粉行业的竞争力，证明某些经济因素以及这些因素对其影响的方式。

设计/方法/途径

对在研究期间公布资产负债表的希腊食品和饮料公司进行了研究。根据现有文献，创建了两个方程并将其估计为联立方程组。

发现

总结整个食品和饮料行业和面粉加工行业的结果，我们发现在某些经济因素（如盈利能力、市场份额、可持续增长、年龄和运营成本）如何影响竞争力方面存在显着相似之处，如本文所衡量的。这可能是由于高度集中，但也因为希腊食品和饮料行业以及面粉加工行业的特殊性。

研究局限性/影响

尽管这项工作可以为希腊食品制造业提供有用且安全的结论，但仅在希腊公司中提及这项工作的事实可能是这项研究的局限性。

实际影响

向管理者和决策者提供提高公司竞争力的建议。

社会影响

食品饮料行业对希腊经济的重要性以及面粉加工行业在希腊食品饮料行业中的重要地位使得研究两者的竞争力无论从学术还是研究的角度都具有重要意义.

原创性/价值

希腊食品饮料行业是希腊制造业的强项，同时也是整个希腊经济发展的重要杠杆。它生产的高质量产品和在国际市场上有组织地推广其产品是赋予它优势并激发其竞争力的要素。制粉行业是竞争激烈的行业之一，其在销售额、营业额、就业和总值方面的存在尤为重要，因此同时研究这些案例非常重要。
