A WESTERN BALKANS REGRESSION ANALYSIS ON RELATIONS BETWEEN ECONOMIC GROWTH, ISO STANDARDS, AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Annotation

With this paper research, I wanted to demonstrate the significance of connections between economic growth and ISO standards
and Intellectual property, which is missing in Western Balkans economies, while issues related to economic growth, quality,
quality management, ISO standards, and intellectual property have recently attracted more attention than other topics globally.
The methodology of the research involved collecting data and information about economic growth, ISO standards, and
intellectual property for Western Balkan economies, building tables, and handling a regression analysis for these three factors.
The main finding of this study is that there is no strong relationship between economic growth, ISO standards, and Intellectual
property in the Western Balkans.
The main conclusion of the study is that economic growth, besides other factors, especially hard factors like labor, land, and
capital, should be considered as a pattern for growth using soft factors of production like entrepreneurship and innovation, both
of them dependent hardly by intellectual property and ISO standards application, as a way on achieving more competitive
advantage, exceeding customer expectations by enhancing the quality of goods and services, as well as protecting unique values
of business entities and individuals.
