The conceptual apparatus of the problem of formation of competitive attitudes' culture for future economists

The paper discusses the problem of formation of competitive attitudes' culture of future economists. The key concepts of the problem are considered. The concepts are divided into two groups: general concepts and concretizing concepts. The general concepts are: “culture”, “eco-nomist”, “competition”, “competitiveness”, “attitudes”, “formation”, and the concretizing concepts are: “professional culture”, “competitive attitudes”, “culture of competitive attitudes of the economist”, “formation of culture of competitive attitudes of future economists”. The problem of formation of competitive attitudes' culture of the future economists is an important one but studied insufficiently. One of the possible ways to solve the problem is systematization (singling out elements and identifying the links between them) and interpretation of the intrinsic features of the investigated phenomenon.
