Research on the world competitiveness landscape in 2004 finds that Russia should be on the radar screen of private equity investors, Japan is ticking again, and China is becoming the manufacturing hub of the world. Aggregating data over a 5-year period, the World Competitiveness Yearbook is an annual report on the competitiveness of nations, ranking and analyzing how a nation’s environment creates and sustains the competitiveness of enterprises.
The report's executive summary looks at macro issues for VCs such as how the strong emergence of the larger Asan nations will generate a major shift in world competitiveness, Europe's expansion to the East, and the “not so important” US deficit.
