Research Methodology

Resilience amid turmoil: Benchmarking IT industry competitiveness 2009 is an Economist Intelligence Unit white paper, sponsored by the Business Software Alliance (BSA). The Economist Intelligence Unit bears sole responsibility for the content of this report. The Economist Intelligence Unit’s editorial team built and updated the index, conducted the analysis and wrote the report. The findings and views expressed in this report do not necessarily reflect the views of the sponsor.

Our research drew on two main initiatives:

  • We updated our benchmarking model, the IT industry competitiveness index, which compares 66 countries on the extent to which they support the competitiveness of information technology (IT) firms.
  • We conducted in-depth interviews with 13 senior executives of IT firms and independent experts from across the globe who are knowledgeable about the drivers of IT competitiveness.
