Abstract: AbstractThe present article identifies the factors responsible for systemic competitiveness of a plywood industry located in Palmas, State of Paraná – Brazil. Our research is based on the German Development Institute model (GDI), which analyses the systemic competitiveness through the connections and interdependences between the meta, macro, meso and micro economic aspects. The research results identified and classified the key-factors responsible for the systemic competitiveness, those factor associations and the factors that jeopardize such industry growth and increased penetration in the foreign and domestic markets.
