The report remains the most comprehensive assessment of national competitiveness worldwide, providing a platform for dialogue between government, business and civil society about the actions required to improve economic prosperity. Competitiveness is defined as <i>the set of institutions, policies and factors that determine the level of productivity of a country</i>. The level of productivity, in turn, sets the level of prosperity that can be earned by an economy.</p><p></p><p>The different aspects of competitiveness are captured in 12 pillars, which compose the Global Competitiveness Index. This 35th edition emphasizes innovation and skills as the key drivers of economic growth. While these increasingly influence competitiveness and the global economy tentatively recovers from the economic crisis, significant risks remain, resulting from a strained geopolitical situation, rising income inequality and the potential tightening of financial conditions. It is therefore crucial to address these structural challenges to ensure more sustainable and inclusive growth. More than ever, cooperative leadership among business, government and civil society is needed to re-establish sustainable growth and raise living standards throughout the world.</p><p></p><p><img width="588" height="483" class="center align-center" alt="" src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAKJAAAAJGVhZWQ2ZTkwLWViNDktNGRmMC1hYTY2LTkzYWI3NDZjMTg5Yw.png" /></p><p></p><p></p><p style="text-align:center;"><img width="588" height="482" class="center" alt="" src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAKqAAAAJDA4YzE3MzhlLWFmMDUtNGNjYy1hNGQ1LWU2ZjM4ZWI2MmE2MA.png" /></p><p></p><p style="text-align:center;"><img width="588" height="483" class="center" alt="" src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAImAAAAJDA5NzlmMWNmLWI3OTgtNDU1Yi1iMmM4LWRiYWJkMjZiOWRlOQ.png" /></p><p></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p><img width="588" height="483" class="center align-center" alt="" src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAANvAAAAJDhiNWM3YTNhLWNmNDYtNDY5NC05MjM3LTE0YjZmMjUwYmNlOQ.png" /></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:center;"><img width="588" height="483" class="center" alt="" src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAANpAAAAJDJiNTk5YWI5LTc4MjYtNGE3MS1iY2ZlLWFlZDNiM2ZmZTk2YQ.png" /></p><p style="text-align:center;"> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><img width="588" height="483" class="center" alt="" src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAMxAAAAJDY5N2EzNGMwLTZiODMtNDE5MC04ZDYwLWU0MjU3NjE4NzRhNQ.png" /></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:center;"><font face="Calibri" size="3"> <img width="588" height="483" class="center" alt="" src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAM8AAAAJDcwMjU2OGQyLTliYjQtNGZlYi1hY2U0LTgyZjhmMGZlODdjMQ.png" /></font></p><p style="text-align:center;"><font face="Calibri" size="3"><img width="588" height="483" class="center" alt="" src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAMDAAAAJDhkYWNkZDMyLTdmYWItNDk2Yy1hY2U5LTYyNGQxOTgwYjlkMQ.png" /></font></p><p style="text-align:center;"><font face="Calibri" size="3"><img width="588" height="483" class="center" alt="" src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAOTAAAAJGNiNjMxZTg4LTI1ODgtNDczNS04ZWQ4LTkwZTRjZDk0NTc3OA.png" /></font></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:center;"><font face="Calibri" size="3"><img width="588" height="588" class="center" alt="" src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAIwAAAAJGJiYjFjN2FkLWJhZTUtNGI4MC1hNmUzLTY1YmJiMTFiOTY5NA.png" /></font></p><p style="text-align:center;"><font face="Calibri" size="3"><img width="588" height="300" class="center" alt="" src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAALEAAAAJDY2ODA3MWU4LTQ4YjctNDkzYy1iMDk0LTIzMmFiMzA2MDYxNA.png" /></font></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p></p></div>The Battle Between Risks and Risk Managementhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/the-battle-between-risks-and-risk-management2012-12-02T23:00:00.000Z2012-12-02T23:00:00.000ZTomhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/Tom765<div><p>See this article on my blog.
