French term or phrase: les leviers de compétivité de l'entreprise
Menée en face-à-face alors que la crise faisait encore durement ressentir ses effets, cette étude révèle des résultats surprenants à plus d’un titre. En, effet, si la crise a affecté les entreprises, on ne peut pas dire pour autant que le pessimisme soit le trait dominant qui émerge des résultats de l’enquête. Fondamentalement, pour les dirigeants européens la crise apparaît comme le moment privilégié où l’on réfléchit à de nouvelles solutions et surtout où l’on réfléchit en profondeur sur les leviers de compétitivité de l’entreprise et où l’on essaie de répondre à la question suivante : dans un environnement durablement affecté, qu’est-ce qui permettra à mon entreprise de retrouver le chemin de la croissance ? La lecture de la presse économique ferait facilement penser que les entreprises n’ont qu’une obsession : la chasse aux coûts. Or, c’est loin d’être le cas et on constate que pour beaucoup d’entreprises une des priorités est entre autres de mieux valoriser le capital humain, capital perçu comme une des clés du renouveau des entreprises. Là aussi, la crise agit comme un révélateur : face à des contraintes de toute sorte, il s’agit de mieux valoriser et ce à tous les niveaux : qualité de services, renforcement des compétences clés, qualité du recrutement, de la formation, capacité à innover, etc.

company's points/sources of competitive leverage


Explanation:
Competitive Advantage and Competitive Leverage
A firm's ability to survive and operate with long-term profitability in a competitive setting is determined by its relative competitive advantage it holds within that given business environment. A firm's competitive advantage relative to its rivals in the market place can be easily measured by the competitive leverage.
