Prof Rob Higgins Cardiff School of Management UWIC Business theatre
Seminar: UK Competitiveness Index 2008: Which Places are doing the Best Business in the UK
This presentation launches the 2008 edition of the UK Competitiveness Index, which is is an annual measure of the competitiveness of the 12 UK regions and more than 400 separate localities across the nation. Using a blend of metrics, it produces rankings of economic performance – both in terms of regions as places to do business and in terms of quality of life. The index was devised and compiled by Dr Robert Huggins of UWIC’s Cardiff School of Management. This presentation highlights the latest results and changes across the UK, focusing on why some places are hot and others are not. It further illustrates the challenges Wales and its cities and localities face in improving their competitiveness and becoming better places to do business.
