Editor's Notes

  1. The country’s competitiveness as solely based on low labor costs would eventually be unsustainable and soon vanished. As such, an alternative paradigm of the country’s development has been moving towards the knowledge for development. Ways in which science and technology infrastructures and relevant policy initiatives have been introduced.

  3. The innovation sub-index is dealt with a country’s ability to innovate, therefore is crucial for countries that are close to knowledge economy. The technology readiness sub-index is taken into account the level of technology available to firms. Given technological non-core economies, the technology readiness sub-index provides a dimension on a country’s capability in technology adoption/technology transfer, copy and imitation. Thailand ranks 43 and 39, respectively, in terms of innovation and technological readiness. Compared to other East Asian countries, Thailand still lags behind Singapore and Malaysia whilst Japan and Korea rank higher than the selected East Asian countries. However, Thailand ranks higher than China in both innovation and technology readiness. Among non core technology-innovation economies, Malaysia ranks 1st in technology-transfer capability, while Thailand, and China rank 5th and 43rd consecutively.
  4. Measures of economic competitiveness come from WEF and IMD rankings whilst that of knowledge economy takes the Knowledge Assessment Methodology (KAM) recently developed by the World Bank Institute
