摘要
Countries do also compete among themselves to develop their economies like business organizations compete. This paper assesses the performance of the top globally competitive countries in terms of the degree of globalization, international trade, investment in research and technology, tariffs, foreign direct investment, and ethical practices in carrying-out international business. Analysis of these factors indicates that all the top globally competitive countries could not exhibit corresponding performance in the globalization levels, exports, investment in research and development, attracting and providing foreign direct investment, and doing business ethically. Therefore, it is suggested that these countries should implement the practices that would reflect their position as one of the top globally competitive countries.
