TOWARDS A NATIONAL INNOVATION STRATEGY FOR COMPETITIVENESSVOLUME 1areas remain weak and need to be overcome to make effici<strong>en</strong>cyimprovem<strong>en</strong>ts. These are: pres<strong>en</strong>ce of value chains (58) and nature ofthe comparative advantages (51). These aspects highlight the fact thatthe Chilean economy continues excessively conc<strong>en</strong>trated on naturalresources.Finally, the second weakest factor in the competitiv<strong>en</strong>ess ofChile is its performance in innovation. The country only ranked 39 in thisaspect; far below the position of high-growth economies. For example,South Korea, 20 in the global ranking, rises to 15 th place in the area ofinnovation; Malaysia ranks 22 in the g<strong>en</strong>eral list, but rises to 21 ininnovation; and Singapore, ranked 15 in the global index, rises to 9 thplace in innovation.The poor performance of Chile in this area is mainly explained bythe provision of technological products by the governm<strong>en</strong>t (ranked 54),the innovation capacity in the country (ranked 50), the quality ofsci<strong>en</strong>tific institutions (ranked 48), the level of R+D sp<strong>en</strong>ding incompanies (ranked 48) and the protection for intellectual property(ranked 45). Once again, Chile is surpassed by developing countries thathave experi<strong>en</strong>ced significant growth rates in rec<strong>en</strong>t years.Regarding the capacity to link producers, suppliers andcustomers, the WEF has developed indicators based on the “Governm<strong>en</strong>tOpinion Survey”, which gathers the opinions of authorities andbusinessm<strong>en</strong> from around the world with respect to some aspects of therelationship among production ag<strong>en</strong>ts. The aspects looked at are: (i) th<strong>en</strong>umber of suppliers for various industries, (ii) the perceived quality ofsuppliers, (iii) the capacity to analyze and p<strong>en</strong>etrate internal markets,(iv) control the distribution of products internationally, (v) the nature ofthe competitive advantages of the country in terms of exports, (vi) thetype of products exported (commodities or highly differ<strong>en</strong>tiated andunique goods) and (vii) the possibility of obtaining the appropriatemachinery for the production processes within the country. Chile isranked among the first 30 countries in the first four items (out of a totalof 125).
