Abstract
The South African Journal of Information Management explores the latest developments and trends in information and knowledge management to offer research that can be used to further the application of sound information and knowledge management practice.
Highlights
The annual publication of the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index (WEF 2007) and the IMD's World Competitiveness Yearbook (IMD 2007) highlight South African competitiveness
The Doing Business project of the World Bank-IFC (World Bank/IFC2007), provides indicators on the competitiveness of South Africa and business in South Africa compared to 177 other countries
When comparing the results of the aforementioned projects at first glance, it becomes clear that South Africa as a country and, by extension, South African business are seemingly caught in a competitiveness trap and are unable to meaningfully improve on their position year by year
Summary
The annual publication of the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index (WEF 2007) and the IMD's World Competitiveness Yearbook (IMD 2007) highlight South African competitiveness. The Doing Business project of the World Bank-IFC (World Bank/IFC2007), provides indicators on the competitiveness of South Africa and business in South Africa compared to 177 other countries. It provides the objective measures of business regulations and states how they are implemented. The World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index shows a decline in South Africa's rankings from 36th position in 2006 to 44th in 2007
