| Objective: | The aim of this tool is to capture a country’s different types of industrial capabilities and to facilitate a better understanding of the role they play in industrial production, technological and structural change. It builds indicators for the factors that either determine or enable processes of industrial capabilities development and accumulation and links them to different types of industrial outputs, thereby explaining and measuring the role of industrial capabilities as main drivers and enablers of countries’ industrial competitiveness and development. |
| Key questions addressed: | Where does a country stand with regard to the production capacity as well as the production and organisational capabilities owned by its firms? What can be said of its firms’ technological capabilities and innovation capabilities?
What are the country’s industrial capabilities related to physical and institutional infrastructures? How do the country’s industrial capabilities compare to peer or benchmark countries? How have these different types of capabilities changed over a certain period of time in the past? Has the country’s industrial sector seen fast or slow processes of industrial capabilities development and accumulation? How can the country’s industrial capabilities be improved? |
