Russian term or phrase: сравнение между
This is probably very obvious, but I would like to double-check the use of 'сравнение между' in this context. It is a text about the strategic processes of companies.

Это практически исчерпывающая метрика ментальных моделей, позволяющая проводить анализ на всех уровнях, — сопряженность представлений менеджеров внутри компании, состав и сопряженность ментальных моделей внутри отраслей (стратегических групп, секторов экономики), сравнение между национальными бизнес системами.

Does it just mean a comparison between? It doesn't make much sense, that's all.

Explanation:
Because it's not the business systems being compared, but their aspects/elements - the mental models.

Thanks to all. This is actually the suggestion I went with, as I agree, they are not comparing the whole business systems, but rather the cognitive models.

comparative analysis of national business systems


Explanation:
literally it can be "a comparison between" but in business speak I think the suggested above should be more suitable. :)
