Conclusion<br />

Country-level competitiveness indexes draw significant amount of attention from the<br />

governments, policymakers, businesses and media. While organizations that<br />

develop and publish these indexes insist on deploying appropriate methodology,<br />

research reveals serious questions about the indexes’ robustness as well as their<br />

applicability, especially in the Asian context, and these concerns need to be<br />

addressed appropriately.<br />
