Measuring Global Competition
• Global competitiveness is difficult to state as a simple metric
• GC is viewed in a number of ways based on authoritative sources
• Various reports rank regions and nations of the world based upon:
– Economic Performance
– Global Innovation
– Research & Development
– Patent Filings
– Education Trends
– Scholarly Metrics
• Reporting organizations utilize a detailed series of parameters and
sub-parameters to achieve an overall scaled ranking
• A review of selected rankings indicates no consistent “winner”
• Leadership within the various rankings depends on the data to be
assessed and the various analytic frameworks utilized
2
Economic Leadership
• GDP offers a standard measurement of economic performance
• Three leading sources provide GDP PPP forecasts
– International Monetary Fund Database
– World Bank
– US CIA World Fact Book
• GDP based on purchasing power parity (PPP) is a good metric. It
adjusts exchange rates so that an identical good in different
countries has the same price when expressed in the same currency
• In terms of GDP, the US continues to lead the world
• China has moved into a number two position. Analysts have
forecast China will eventually assume global leadership.
• GDP measures global output, but it is not intended to gauge material
well-being, rather it serves as a measure of a nation's productivity

The Global Innovation Index (GII)
• Source: Insead, 2011
• Detailed global analysis
• Ranks 125 countries based
on a complex series of
pillars and sub-Pillars
• Knowledge Partners:
Insead, Alcatel-Lucent,
Booz and Company,
Confederation of Indian
Industry, WIPO
5
The Global Innovation Index
• Computed as an average of the scores across inputs pillars
(describing the enabling environment for innovation) and output
pillars (measuring actual achievements in innovation)
• Five pillars constitute the Innovation Input Sub-Index: 'Institutions,'
'Human capital and research,' 'Infrastructure', 'Market sophistication'
and 'Business sophistication‘
• The Innovation Output Sub-Index is composed of two pillars:
'Scientific outputs' and 'Creative outputs
• The Innovation Efficiency Index, calculated as the ratio of the two
Sub-Indices, examines how economies leverage their enabling
environments to stimulate innovation results.
6
GII Number One Ranking: Switzerland
• Switzerland achieved first place in the overall 2011 GII rankings (up
from position 4th last year) on the basis of its strong position in both
the Input and Output Sub-Indices (3rd and 2nd). Although the
country does not top any individual pillar, it places within the top 5 in
three Input pillars (Institutions at 5th, Market sophistication at 5th,
and Business sophistication at 4th) and both Output pillars (Scientific
outputs at 2nd and Creative outputs at 3rd). Its many strengths
include its top 10 positions on 30 indicators several sub-pillars.
• The top 10 economies in the Innovation Efficiency Index are Côte
d’Ivoire, Nigeria, China, Pakistan, Moldova, Sweden, Brazil,
Argentina, India, and Bangladesh. Three BRIC economies (Brazil,
India, and China) are in this select list, with the fourth, the Russian
Federation, coming in at 52nd place. By region, the best performers
are Côte d’Ivoire (1st), China (3rd), Pakistan (4th), Moldova (5th),
Brazil (7th), Jordan (16th), and the US (26th). By income group, in
descending order of income , the leaders are Sweden, Brazil, Côte
d’Ivoire, and Bangladesh.

Global Competitiveness Report Summary
• Switzerland tops the overall rankings
• Singapore overtakes Sweden for second position. Northern and
Western European countries dominate the top 10 with Sweden (3rd),
Finland (4th), Germany (6th), the Netherlands (7th), Denmark (8th)
and the United Kingdom (10th). Japan remains the second-ranked
Asian economy at 9th place, despite falling three places since last
year.
• The United States continues its decline for the third year in a row,
falling one more place to fifth position; Macroeconomic
vulnerabilities continue to build, some aspects of the United States’
institutional environment continue to raise concern among business
leaders - low public trust in politicians and concerns about
government inefficiency. More positive note, banks and financial
institutions are rebounding for the first time since the financial crisis.
13
Global Competitiveness Report Summary
• Germany maintains a strong position within the Eurozone, although
it goes down one position to sixth place, while the Netherlands (7th)
improves by one position in the rankings, France drops three places
to 18th, and Greece continues its downward trend to 90th.
Competitiveness-enhancing reforms will play a key role in
revitalizing growth in the region and tackling its key challenges, fiscal
consolidation and persistent unemployment
• The results show that while competitiveness in advanced economies
has stagnated over the past seven years, in many emerging markets
it has improved, placing their growth on a more stable footing and
mirroring the shift in economic activity from advanced to emerging
economies.
14
Global Competitiveness Report Summary
• The People’s Republic of China (26th) continues to lead the way
among large developing economies, improving by one more place
and solidifying its position among the top 30. Among the four other
BRICS economies, South Africa (50th) and Brazil (53rd) move
upwards while India (56th) and Russia (66th) experience small
declines. Several Asian economies perform strongly, with Japan
(9th) and Hong Kong SAR (11th) also in the top 20.

A trajectory is illustrated that supports the
argument that attainment of undergraduate and

economies (Brazil, India, China) while US
attainment appears to be less than the peak year
of 2000, although based on full population is still a

The numbers of papers from large regions make it tricky to appreciate change.
The data here are indexed back to the starting totals in 1981.
The value for each region is set at 1.0 in 1981. Later years are compared back to that point.
Each country is then tracked in terms of growth as a ratio.
The USA grows more slowly than world average but the EU-27 does better
China
China accelerates past these, growing its published research output to
more than 75 times the total in 1981 (135,000 articles cf 1,750).
In some technology fields it already exceeds US output
In Chemistry it has grown 150-fold and now produces 27,000 papers
EU-27
per year compared to 23,000 for the US.
Initial signs of reaching a plateau – but growth in physical sciences
is being mirrored by growth in biomedical and social sciences
Still, plenty of room for further expansion of the research portfolio

research workforce capacity and R&D
investment are expanding rapidly,
offering many new possibilities in a
diversifying research portfolio. It has
received much less policy attention
than China, however, and the research
base in Latin America in general is

The report shows that Brazil’s output
has doubled in ten years to 2007, part

India’s development efforts since the

recent years have seen a growing
realization among scholars,
policymakers, and other observers
that India lags behind other key
countries and some of its BRIC
partners in research investment and
output... A nagging problem,
however—perhaps paradoxically for

Japan’s numbers have lagged ...In
contrast to the scientific output of two

• “The UK spends 4% of the world’s Gross
Expenditure on R&D on 6% of the world’s
researchers who are authors on 8% of the
world’s research articles and reviews. These
papers attract 11% of the world’s citations
and so create 14% of the world’s highly cited
output. Those exceptional articles include
17% of the world’s research papers with
more than 500 citations and 20% of those
with more than 1000 citations. Its average
research impact now surpasses that of the
USA. Despite this outstanding performance
– in terms of research efficiency,
effectiveness and excellence – the level of
private-sector research investment in the UK
is surprisingly low and has fallen relative to
comparators. The innovative capacity and
potential of the UK is therefore not matched
by its engagement with economic
competitiveness, but this is not the fault of
the research base.

“This changes the geography quite a bit, and then you start to look at the changing collaboration
which is becoming less G7 orientated and more regional. It may be that regionalisation that will
affect the trans-Atlantic hegemony as much as any single growth country. The Asia-Pacific
network could be very powerful; a Latin America network around a Brazil-Mexico axis should also
emerge. This may then boost the status of regional journals, and that could affect our strategy,
although the predominance of English as the common research language may constrain that).”

Publishers: Emerging Global Competitors?
• For the most part, publishers have developed a global presence and
partnered with various regional companies rather than face direct
competition
• Scholars continue to benefit from publishing in global journals
–
The goal to demonstrate quality rather than quantity tends to support the traditional
publishers
–
However, there are a combination of emerging and legacy publishers visible in
China, India and Brazil.
• A good portion of the STM market in emerging economies focuses
on books or indices.

support of M/s Divan Enterprise. Mr.
Prakash Chand thought to bring out
Indian Citation Index (ICI) database
covering ~1000 top Indian scholarly
journals encompassing all disciplines of
knowledge. The ICI database enables
access and empowers users to search,
track, measure and collaborate in the
sciences, social sciences, arts, and
humanities to turns raw data/information
into the powerful knowledge one needs.
ICI like other indexes enables user to
move back in time to previously
published papers, but uniquely one can
also look forward in time to determine
who has subsequently cited an earlier
piece of research.”

• Professional users
face more “obstacles”
in the most recent
survey from Outsell
than they did in 2008
when it comes to
getting information
• The availability of time,
TMI, lack of staff support
and budget rank at the top
of the list
• Also notable: issue of quality

Conclusion
• Global competitiveness is accelerating in many ways.
• Established economies continue to lead in-depth innovative indices
based on complex parameters. However, RDEs are rising through the
rankings at an incremental pace.
• There is continuing evidence of growth in emerging economies in terms
of economic potential, R&D expenditures, academic trends and
bibliometric trends.
• STM remains as a stable market, publishers are partnering and locating
business units abroad. New competition is not quickly emerging in STM.
• Based on scholarly metrics additional RDE’s are following the high
growth patterns established by China.
• Major question moving forward on all measures: Sustainability?
