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.

Decent toy
Color: Green
My dog loves this toy. He's already tore through the head but the middle part he has not been able to tare through. It's a great toy for a chewer.

Fun Toy That Keeps Dogs Entertained
Color: Green
WOWBALA Interactive Squeaky Dog Chew Toy was purchased for my two granddogs, and they both took to it right away. The squeaker and soft plush design keep them interested and engaged during playtime. It’s great for tug-of-war and seems to hold up well with regular use. I like that it works for different sizes so that both dogs can enjoy it together. I will be purchasing another one for my dog at home. Overall, it’s a fun and playful toy that keeps them busy and happy.

Durability and lasting period of toy.
Color: Green
I got this toy for our bulldog. He had a hole in it, which will only progress, within minutes. I took it away until I could find out if there is any kind of warranty. The information says this toy is not for aggressive chewers, yet right in the description and the photo of the toy (that way I knew I was looking at the correct toy), it says for the "aggressive chewer". I am disappointed that even though it isn't how they described, it only lasted minutes before there was damage. Not sure if I would buy another product.

Won't last long
Color: Green
It lasted a couple weeks before my dog got it apart at the seams and had the stuffing all over the house. Won't hold up for long under aggressive play. I was going to return it, but my dog so loved this that I stuffed a sock in it and sewed it back together with heavier thread and more stitches. Hold up better for toys of the same price. Buy one, and have a sewing kit handy.

Withstands rough play
Color: Green
It’s sturdy and has withstood my cairn puppies chewing. It’s Long enough length for a good game of tug. One squeaker, which doesn’t much excite them. Pups tend to choose other toys over this, but will engage if I present it to them.
