The Economist Intelligence Unit Reveals IT industry Competitiveness Index

According to a new study conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit, the business information arm of The Economist Group, and sponsored by the Business Software Alliance (BSA), the United States continues to rank first in the annual global IT industry competitiveness index. However its score has gone down a bit compared to the previous year as many other countries are nipping at its heels.

The study assessed and compared the information technology industry environments of 66 economies to determine the extent to which they enable IT sector competitiveness. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, six factors combine to create a sound environment for the IT sector, including: overall business environment, IT infrastructure, human capital, legal environment, research and development environment, and support for IT industry development.

Interesting to notice is that in this study Russia goes right after India and ranks higher than China.
