# Competitiveness Competitiveness refers to the ability of an entity—be it a nation, organization, or individual—to effectively compete in its respective market or environment. It is determined by various factors, including productivity, innovation, resource efficiency, and strategic positioning. Analyzing competitiveness involves evaluating strengths and weaknesses relative to peers and adapting to dynamic external conditions. Assessing competitive performance necessitates the collection and analysis of accurate data to inform strategic decisions. Data governance is also important in this context, as it helps ensure the integrity and reliability of competitive data, enabling entities to maintain a fair and accurate assessment of their market position.
