Sommario/riassunto

INSEAD announced the findings of its Global Innovation Index (GII), a study which the school has jointly published with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). The GII evaluates the progress of innovation readiness in countries, highlighting the obstacles that prevent governments, businesses, and individuals from fully capturing the benefits of innovation. In its second year, the GII ranks countries on several parameters, including technological sophistication, human capacity and infrastructure. The United States ranked first in the 2008-2009 GII, followed by Germany which maintained its position for a second consecutive year. Sweden advanced significantly by ranking third, compared to its 12th position in 2007. The United Kingdom fell from 3rd to 4th slot and Singapore rose to 5th rank this year from 7th the previous year. South Korea made the most prominent move by securing the 6th rank compared to 19th position last year.
