Co-Directors
of The Global Competitiveness Report are Klaus
Schwab, Executive Chairman of the World Economic
Forum, and Michael E. Porter, Bishop William Lawrence
Professor at Harvard Business School, Harvard
University.
Professor
Porter presents the results of the Business Competitiveness
Index (BCI), an especially useful complement to
the GCI, with its emphasis on a range of company-specific
factors conducive to improved efficiency and productivity
at the micro level, such as the sophistication
of the operating practices and strategies of companies,
and the quality of the microeconomic business
environment in which a nation's companies compete.
The
BCI analyzes the productivity of companies
within each country. It derives the Index from
two subindexes, 1) the sophistication of company
operations and strategy, and 2) the quality of
the national business environment.
The
following listing has been filtered for the represented
(18) OIC member states.
The
top 10 Countries with most competitive business
environments are in order; United States, Finland,
Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom,
Denmark, Japan, and Netherlands.
