Newest e-readiness ranking published, Canada and USA are falling steady
* NEW * 2006 e-readiness rankings available here
The e-readiness rankings is an annual ranking system over the world's 60 largest economies. It is a measure of the country's e-business environment. But of cause the numbers may also indicate how amenable a market is to Internet-based opportunities. The research studies over 100 quantitative and qualitative criteria across 6 distinct categories. I personally think the collected figures may be fluctuate in a quite large range. Plus it is meaningless to compare a smaller regional economie vs a much larger one (HK vs entire Mainland China, should be HK vs Shanghai etc.). But it is a good enough data to represent how well the government has done over all in the past years on supporting technology growth in the regions.
