Overall performance

With a score of 5.80, Korea falls five places to finish 18th amongst the Innovation-driven economies on the Connectivity Scorecard 2011. As in previous years, outstanding performance on the consumer infrastructure component of the Scorecard was not matched by performance on the business-related components of the Scorecard. An extension to the “public sector” (formerly “government”) components of the Scorecard also contributed to a decline in relative performance this year. As well, changes to the Consumer Infrastructure component helped other countries to whittle down some of Korea’s lead in this respect, contributing further to an appreciable fall in its ranking.
