REAL IMPACT, IMD BUSINESS SCHOOL and IMD WORLD COMPETITIVENESS YEARBOOK are trademarks of IMD – International Institute for Management Development Preface How do different economies invest and develop their local talent? How do countries appeal to the international talent pool as well as retaining their own high-skilled work force? And how do economies measure the quality of the skills and competences that are available? These are the questions that the IMD World Talent Ranking addresses. We are delighted to present the seventh edition of this publication. The latest ranking suggests that most economies that perform well focus their talent development efforts in every stage of the educational process. From primary education to tertiary, to apprenticeships and continuous work training, enhancing the skills and competencies of the work force is important. The top performing economies are open to both people and ideas. Finally, in the difficult times of social distancing and working from home, keeping the employees motivated contributes to the talent competitiveness of an economy. An undertaking like the IMD World Talent Ranking could not have been accomplished without the support and assistance of many stakeholders. Our Partner Institutes, the IMD Alumni community and our Panel of Experts from all the countries generously offer data and insights that are crucial for completing such a project. We are always most grateful for their support. Yet, as we stressed in all our publications, this year, our stakeholders managed to make us feel that it was business as usual and not a uniquely complicated and difficult environment. The reason you have this publication in your hands now is, for a great part, because of our stakeholders. We are humbled and thankful!

  • Country Profile: Estonia
    Private Sector Interaction in the Decision Making Processes of Public Research Policies Country Profile: Estonia 1. Political, institutional and economic framework and important actors Until 2000, the total R&D expenditure in Estonia has been around 0.6% of GDP 1. Subse- quently it grew from 0.73% in 2001 to 0.91% in 20042, representing the biggest increase (in nominal terms) in the EU to reach the third highest level among New Member countries. The amount of state subsidies to the horizontal objective of R&D remains quite limited. In 2004 this was 21 % of total state aid for horizontal objectives 3. Thus it is not surprising that accord- ing to the Estonian CIS, in 1998-2000 only 4,9 % (2002-2004 4 %) of innovative enterprises had received financial support from the government 4 According to the state aid scoreboard, the number was somewhat higher in the years 2002-2003, when 20.6 % of innovative SME’s (firms employing 10-499 employees) reported the use of at least one form of public support 5. The guidelines for technology and innovation support are set out in different governmental documents, some of them less successful, as the Estonian Innovation Programme (1998), or the National Development Plan (2000-2002) and some of them more important, like the R&D strategy Knowledge-based Estonia 2002-2006 or the Act on Organisation of Research and Development (1997). The latter aims at reaching a better balance between basic research and applied R&D by increasing the share of R&D and by encouraging the application of re- search results in enterprises as well as in society as a whole.

  • Internet Development As Political Comparative Advantage: Estonia in International Organizations
    Internet Development as Political Comparative Advantage: Estonia in International Organizations Erin Dian Dumbacher1 Abstract This essay discusses the development of Estonia’s Internet and information technology- driven economic development and its effects on the country’s role in international organizations. Since regaining independence in 1991, Estonian policies have initiated, concurrently, innovation in information technology and international integration. To what extent is Estonia’s current position in the multilateral North Atlantic Treaty Organization and European Union does the country owe to its information technology sector? Estonian policies were enacted within the context of an interdependent international community, allowing the small country to gain admittance to, and ongoing benefits from, NATO and the EU. This research will argue that through a focus on ICT, Internet-based innovation, and e-government services, Estonia has developed a comparative advantage in international politics. 1 This research was made possible by a U.S. Fulbright grant and conducted in coordination with the University of Tartu in Tartu, Estonia and the Estonian Development Fund (Arengufond) in Tallinn, Estonia in spring, 2010. The author can be reached at [email protected]. “The practice of diplomacy is not in fact very different from the practice of sound business, in that it relies for its efficacy upon the establishment of confidence and credit.” –Harold Nicolson, 19592 1. Introduction and Literature Review The end of the 20th Century was characterized by a globalized market economy and increasingly connected world affairs. Information technology development, and the Internet in particular, extended the means for actors to engage internationally and the necessity for participation in an increasingly information-dependent world economy.

  • Strategic Activity Plan of Enterprise Estonia For
    Strategic Activity Plan of Enterprise Estonia for 2019–2023 Building a successful Estonia. The Republic of Estonia celebrated its centenary in 2018 and, since the re-independence of Estonia, the economy of the country has been developed further for nearly 30 years now. Estonian economy has undergone a huge leap since the restoration of independence. Driving forces in that development have been open economy and minimal state intervention. Accession to the European Economic Area and to the European Union provided a significant boost for economic growth. Over the past three decades, economic policies of developed countries have undergone a number of changes: the open globalisation policies, which prevailed at the end of the last century, are currently combined and being replaced by protectionism. Thanks to its openness, Estonia has benefited greatly from the globalised economy – our economy is flexible, as well as responsive. However, as the principles of world economy are changing, we should be ready for changes as well. Natural resources, which once served as the basis for wealth, are losing their importance. Countries are competing with one another, both for capital and labour force. In fact, competition between countries has never been as fierce as it is today – they offer both tax incentives and direct aid – anything to attract new economic beacons to the country. Like all other countries, the Republic of Estonia also influences the behaviour of enterprises. This applies to everyone equally in the form of mandatory taxes and regulations established for everyone, but also selectively when financial support is directed to certain types of entrepreneurship or activities.
