Taikant apribojimų teorijos metodą atliktas išsamus užsienio prekybos tyrimas, kurio metu nustatytos pagrindinės šalies užsienio prekybos problemos, trukdančios efektyviai šios ekonomikos srities veiklai. Darbe pateikiamos išvados apie Lietuvos užsienio prekybą bei siūlomos šią sritį galinčios pagerinti priemonės.
By using the method of the theory of constraints, the fundamental obstacles that conditioned the problematic in Lithuania’s foreign trade have been identified: cheap labour force in the country – insufficient advantage in the long run, typical to the developing countries export and production structure, lack of data on foreign countries’ trade regulations, and low Lithuania’s image. Apart from these problematic areas, the recent years’ global economic and financial crisis has contributed, too. In order to reduce the problematic areas in Lithuania’s foreign trade, the trade balance deficit ought to be decreased by means of export stimulation. This calls for changes in trade conditions: the expansion of the export zones, improvement of the country’s image, reduction of trade risk by fostering cooperation, establishment of an effective business insurance system, and improvement of the financing conditions. To improve the branch structure of the export, it is necessary to switch from the energy and labour intensive sectors to those that create a higher value-added by utilizing the intellectual potential and investing in scientific research. In order to improve the export infrastructure, its dependence on the import of raw materials ought to be decreased by exploiting local renewable energy sources. Stimulating the consumption of Lithuanian goods and services is of great importance.
