As countries around the world seek to enhance their economies while facing the challenges of climate change and income inequality, national competitiveness is an important marker of the related strengths and weaknesses that policymakers will need to address. Among the existing reports on national competitiveness and rankings, such as IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook and WEF Global Competitiveness Report, there are sizable discrepancies in the ranking order for the same countries. As a result, confusion arises as such an outcome creates difficulties for government officials when translating these findings into real-world policies.

 

The reality is that these discrepancies are due to the differences in logic and analytical models used by IMD and WEF. Therefore, in recognizing such problems and limitations, The Competitiveness of Nations 2 presents the IPS model as a new approach. Building on from Michael Porter's diamond model, it demonstrates a robust set of methodologies as well as offers several key policy implications for economies around the world that wish to enhance their competitiveness.

 

The analytical tools used in this book can be further utilized for other units of analysis such as industries and individual firms. As this book provides a series of sophisticated methodologies and specific guidelines for enhancing national competitiveness, both academics and practitioners can derive useful implications.

 

This annual book series was launched in 2021 and has included timely topics and in-depth discussion on national competitiveness. The first edition dealt with the COVID-19 global pandemic and the US-China trade war as its key focus. For this second edition, the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issue has been selected given its growing impact on strategic decision-making at both firm and country levels for sustainable competitiveness. This edition explores the development of ESG in various regions including Asia (Japan, Korea, India), Europe (Russia), Latin America (Peru), and Africa (Sub-Saharan Africa). It addresses how firms can contribute to ESG, and what governments should do to incentivize or regulate firms' engagement in its practices.

Fun but easy to destroy
Color: Green & Yellow & Blue
We foster puppies and go through a ton of toys. These soft, latex toys are great for non-super chewers, whether puppies or small to medium dogs. Our 20-week-old foster puppy has had a great time with hers, which still squeaks. She is fairly gentle and enjoys squeaking her toys, but is not destructive. If you have super chewers, these will not last for even a minute. One of our dogs got a hold of one toy after a few days and demolished it in literally 6 seconds. The price is quite high for toys if in this style, as you get three of them for $16, and typically you can get similar toys for a much lower price, but they do have a great squeak and the long necks have really pleased the puppy. I think that for the right dog, these would be great, and I would recommend them, but avoid them if your dog likes to destroy their toys because they are terribly easy to rip apart.

Fun new toys
Color: Yellow & Grey & Brown
My dog loves him. They’re easy to squeak and carry in his mouth so it’s a bonus bonus for him. He’s a puppy so he’s not the most coordinated thing yet.

Cute and Durable
Color: Them Apples, Color: Them Apples
I have purchased several Barkbox brand toys for my dog. “Them Apples” may be the cutest of them all. I am impressed at how well-made and designed this toy is. There is a large squeaker at the base of the tree and the rest of the tree has crinkle sound. My dog enjoys playing with the tree as much as he does playing with the apples. The apples are also well made and not flimsy like so many other hide & seek toys. The apples also have squeakers in them. My dog has had this toy for a couple of months now, and it’s still in good shape. I will definitely repurchase if this one ever wears out. Good value for the price.
