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 />
