“…Development stage of nations is preponderant in decision-making regarding the choice of the country that can yield better results for investments (Carvalho et al , 2012). Foreign investments of multinationals in subsidiaries located in other countries can also improve performance by generating knowledge spillover in the country that receives new technologies, increasing productivity and development (Blomstrom, 1986; Blomstrom & Kokko, 1998; Liu, 2008; Suyanto, Bloch, & Salim, 2012; Suyanto & Salim, 2013).…”

Purpose This study aims to identify the countries’ innovation factors that are determinant for them to achieve higher levels of development. In addition, the research identified which of these factors should be prioritized so the countries can move up in the rank of the most competitive. Design/methodology/approach The study used the indicators of innovation and the stage of development of 137 countries proposed by the Global Competitiveness Report published by the World Economic Forum and techniques of multivariate data analysis. Findings The results indicated that all the factors tested are determinant to lead the countries throughout their stages of development. The research highlights that the factors “Quality of scientific research institutions” and “Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) patent applications” should be equally prioritized for the countries’ development. Practical implications The results suggested that the factors Capacity for Innovation, Quality of Scientific Research Institutions, Company Spending on Research and Development (R&D), University–Industry Collaboration in R&D, Government Procurement of Advanced Technology Products, Availability of Scientists and Engineers and PCT Patent Applications are decisive for positioning countries in terms of their stage of development and should be part of their public policy and enterprises’ strategic planning. Originality/value The findings show that countries should prioritize the factors Quality of Scientific Research Institutions and PCT Patent Applications, as these factors, when acting together, predict the evolution to higher stages of development.

“…Aiginger and Vogel's (2015) research defines competitiveness as the ability of a country or nation to enhance the well-being of the population, and this goes beyond GDP goals. Competitiveness, therefore, may be linked to cultural factors, such as government incentives for enhancing the country's development, commerce, natural resources, education levels, innovation, technology and other factors (Carvalho et al, 2012). There is a need to elaborate on the concept of competitiveness and to consider a more comprehensive and clearer conceptualization that can transcend the existing tendency in the field of microeconomics to associate it only with indicators of performance or technical efficiency (Machado-Da-Silva and da Fonseca, 2010).…”

“…The three main international indices are the following: the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI)developed by the World Economic Forum (WEF); the World Competitiveness Yearbookcompiled by the Institute for Management of Development; and the Industrial Development Indexdeveloped by the United Nations Industrial Development Organizations. The GCI stands out because of its structural composition is complete and because it has been used by various political and economic institutions, it is considered to be an important guide for policymakers (Carvalho et al, 2012).…”

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the competitiveness of nations and seeks to answer the following research question: how does the competitiveness of nations include improvements in the quality of life, thus influencing and contributing to social progress in both social and economic indices? Design/methodology/approach This paper collected secondary data from the World Economic Forum and the socioeconomic dimensions of the Social Progress Imperative Index and considered the dimensions of these indices, which were demonstrated using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The main focus was on the documentary analysis that was carried out to explain the realities of 121 countries from 2014 to 2017 as taken from these indices, considering the 10 countries at the top and bottom. Findings This study showed the use of new measures for the performance of nations that are less dependent on economics and focus more on social development, which may be a trend for the future of nations, and produce a more holistic view for the study. “Innovation” is the factor with the weakest relationship with social progress, which is justified by a weaker relationship with one of the subcategories, “basic human needs”, when analyzed in isolation. However, when the authors analyze the best and worst nations, the authors observe that economic factors are still prevalent, with the “institutions” and “infrastructure” factors being effective for improving competitiveness and the quality of life. Research limitations/implications The findings represent a new, emerging configuration in country performance, but the study has its limitations, such as the use of only two pooled variables and the fact that it does not correlate their dimensions or variables. Originality/value This study can represents an expansion logic for measuring the performance of countries considering social factors. The main contributions of this study are its statistical evidence and documentary analysis of the relationship between economic and social variables. The main contribution of this paper is to show that over time (2014–2017) economic factors, as measured by the competitiveness index of nations, relate to aspects of social welfare, as measured by the social progress index.

Los índices actuales presentan falencias en la construcción, desde la parte teórica o desde el manejo estadístico. Es por esto que se implementó el análisis factorial, herramienta estadística que permite una construcción objetiva evitando la inserción de subjetividades en la ponderación y agregación de variables. También, la utilización de datos duros provee a la investigación de mayor confiabilidad. Por medio de esta construcción se evidenciaron los esfuerzos que realiza el país para mejorar la competitividad apoyada por la estabilidad macroeconómica, sin embargo rezagada por la seguridad y salud pertenecientes a la institucionalidad. Los resultados concuerdan con las recomendaciones de los estudios económicos que hace la Organización para la Cooperación y Desarrollo Económico para Colombia.Palabras clave: Índice compuesto, competitividad, análisis factorial, diamante de la competitividad. AbstractThis research presents a methodology for the construction of a composite index to measure competitiveness as a factor for economic growth in Colombia, from competitiveness models by Michel Porter and the work of Cho and Moon. Current rates have shortcomings in construction, from the theory or the statistical management. That is why a factor analysis was developed, a statistical tool that allows an objective construction, avoiding mistakes from including subjectivity in the weighting and aggregation of variables. Also, the use of hard data provides greater reliability to the research. Thanks to this construction the efforts of the country to improve competitiveness supported by macroeconomic stability were evident, nevertheless; lagging behind due to the safety and health belonging to the institutions. The results are consistent with the recommendations of the economic studies presented by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and DevelopmentColombia.
