cal infrastructure has tended to improve over the years, although perhaps not most recently, in 2008. Table 4.21 Physical infrastructure in Denmark Annually from 2002 to 2008 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 3.9 4.1 4.0 4.2 4.4 4.3 4.2 How is the physical infrastructure in Denmark compared to other countries? The physical infrastructure is assessed likewise in the other countries particpating in GEM, Table 4.22. The physical infrastructure is better in some societies, notably Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland and the USA. Among the developed countries, Denmark is far above the middle, with 74% of the others below. Table 4.22 Physical infrastructure The three countries with most physical infrastructure, the three countries with least, and USA and Denmark 2002-08, weighted toward 2008 Hong Kong 4.7 Singapore 4.6 Switzerland 4.4 … USA 4.3 … Denmark 4.2 74 percentile rank … Italy 3.0 Puerto Rico 3.0 Poland 2.9 In short, the physical infrastructure in Denmark has tended to improve a little over time, and Denmark is much above the middle among the developed countries. Intellectual property rights Intellectual property rights refer to the establishment of private ownership of knowledge (Schøtt, 2006a:90, 2007a:46, 2008:26). This prop erty right in Denmark is assessed annually by asking a panel of experts to ascertain the truthfulness of each of the following statements, – In Denmark, the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) legislation is comprehensive – In Denmark, the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) legislation is efficiently enforced. – In Denmark, the illegal sales of ’pirated’ software, videos, CDs, and other copyrighted or trademarked products is not extensive. – In Denmark, new and growing firms can trust that their patents, copyrights, and trade marks will be respected. – In Denmark, it is widely recognized that inventors’ rights for their inventions should be res p e c t e d . The rights in Denmark have been changing over the years, Table 4.23. The rights have been expanding considerably over time, although perhaps not in 2008. Table 4.23 Intellectual property rights in Denmark Annually from 2002 to 2008 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 3.3 3.2 3.5 3.7 3.6 3.9 3.7 Where do these intellectual property rights bring Denmark in comparison to other countries? Rights are assessed likewise in the other countries participating in GEM. Rights are more extensive in Switzerland, Australia and Singapore, Table 4.24. Denmark is among the developed countries with very extensive rights, as 79% of the other countries have less comprehensive rights. 33
Table 4.24 Intellectual property rights The three countries with the most protective intellectual property rights, the three countries with the least, and USA and Denmark 2002-08, weighted toward 2008 Switzerland 4.2 Australia 4.2 Singapore 4.1 … USA 3.8 … Denmark 3.6 79 percentile rank … Serbia 2.2 Russia 2.1 Bosnia 1.8 In short, the intellectual property rights in Denmark have expanded, and Denmark is among the developed countries with the most extensive rights. what false’, ’Neither true nor false’, ’Somewhat true’ and ’Completely true’. The assessment is quantified on a scale from 1 to 5. The assessments are then averaged across the experts and averaged across the five statements for a measure for the year. With measurement taken in 2008 and a few preceding years we can track recent changes in support for growth-entrepreneurship (Schøtt 2008:21-22). Support for growth-entrepreneurship in Denmark has tended to increase in recent years. This assessment is consistent with the changes in entrepreneurship policy and implementations (Erhvervs- og Byggestyrelsen, 2007). Table 4.25 Support for growth-entrepreneurship in Denmark Annually 2005 to 2008 2005 2006 2007 2008 3.4 3.3 3.7 3.6 Support for growth-entrepreneurship The institutional support for growth-entrepreneurship in Denmark is assessed by asking experts to ascertain the truthfulness of each of the following statements, – In Denmark, there are many support initiatives that are specially tailored for high-growth entrepreneurial activity. – In Denmark, policy-makers are aware of the importance of high-growth entrepreneurial activity. – In Denmark, people working in entrepreneurship-support-initiatives have sufficient skills and competence to support high-growth firms. – In Denmark, potential for rapid growth is often used as a selection criterion when choosing recipients of entrepreneurship support. – In Denmark, supporting rapid firm-growth is a high priority in entrepreneurship policy. Each expert ascertains the truthfulness of each statement in terms of ’Completely false’, ’Some- Where does this bring Denmark compared to other countries? Support for growth-entrepreneurship is also assessed in the other countries participating in GEM by the same questions to a national panel of experts there, Table 4.26.
