National Competitiveness Research 2022
The Institute for Policy and Strategy on National Competitiveness (IPSNC, ipsncr.org) has been publishing the National Competitiveness Research (NCR) annually since 2001. Its research introduces a theoretical background on national competitiveness and provides the indices for more than sixty countries and regions around the world. Based upon these findings, the report provides policy recommendations for governments to enhance national/regional competitiveness and business implications for companies to formulate effective strategies.
