"I have worked on human capital issues –education, science, technology and innovation - most of my professional life, and have attended IMD’s courses on several occasions. I have, therefore, been using the World Competitiveness Yearbook since it began to be published.

I find it a quick reference to world statistics on many issues, and a particularly useful tool to the study of competitiveness. The Overall Scoreboard and the World Rankings help me follow the main trends nationally and regionally, while the factors, sub-factors, and criteria breakdown contribute to my better understanding of the performance changes, while the profiles provide me with an insight on each of the regions or countries considered. The graphs, tables and charts are clear, and the associated texts are succinct and to the point. Congratulations!"
