- 2. How to Read the Country/Economy Profiles The Country/Economy Profiles section presents a profile for each of the 148 economies covered in The Global Information Technology Report 2014. Each profile sum- marizes an economy’s performance in the various di- mensions of the Networked Readiness Index (NRI). PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS The first section of the profile presents the economy’s overall performance in the NRI, along with its perfor- mance in the NRI’s four components and 10 pillars. The economy’s rank (out of 148 economies) and score (on a 1-to-7 scale) are reported. On the radar chart to the right of the table, a blue line plots the economy’s score on each of the 10 pillars. The black line represents the average score of all econo- mies in the income group to which the economy under review belongs. The country classification by income group is defined by the World Bank and reflects the situation as of December 2013. Note that the two high- income groups in this classification, High income: OECD and High income: non-OECD, were merged into a single group for the purpose of the analysis. THE NETWORKED READINESS INDEX IN DETAIL This section presents an economy’s performance in each of the 54 indicators composing the NRI. The in- dicators are organized by pillar. The numbering of the variables matches that of the data tables in the next sec- tion of the Report, which provide descriptions, rankings, and scores for all the indicators. The indicators derived from the 2012 and 2013 editions of the World Economic Forum’s Executive Opinion Survey are identified by an asterisk (*). These indicators are always measured on a 1-to-7 scale (where 1 and 7 correspond to the worst and best possible outcomes, respectively). For more infor- mation on the Executive Opinion Survey and a detailed explanation of how scores are computed, please refer to Chapter 1.3 of The Global Competitiveness Report 2013– 2014, available for free on the World Economic Forum website at www.weforum.org/gcr. For those indicators not derived from the World Economic Forum’s Executive Opinion Survey, the scale is reported next to the title. The Technical Notes and Sources at the end of this Report provides further de- tails on each indicator, including its definition, method of computation, and sources. Note that for the sake of readability, the years were omitted. However, the year of each data point is indicated in the corresponding data table. For more information on the framework and computation of the NRI, refer to Chapter 1.1. ONLINE DATA PORTAL In complement to the analysis presented in this Report, an online data portal can be accessed via www. wefo- rum.org/gitr. The platform offers a number of analytical tools and visualizations, including sortable rankings, scatter plots, bar charts, and maps, as well as the pos- sibility of downloading portions of the NRI dataset. 3: Country/Economy Profiles 100 | The Global Information Technology Report 2014 Note: Indicators followed by an asterisk (*) are measured on a 1-to-7 (best) scale.
