any of these should do, depending on your context...

OK, in that case, something like
the series of factors affecting/determining the status of individuals, the market position of companies and the competitive standing/competitiveness of whole economies.
Each company only has one market position, though these positions naturally differ.
Re: position / positioning
I think position would be better here than positioning, as I had suggested earlier. Positioning is used more for marketing and has a slightly different meaning than the one used here.

: "Each company only has one market position" - Except if a company is operating in more than one market - then it will have two or more positionS. And as you yourself ack., positionING is something different.
