博士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 97 === A nation’s competitiveness becomes more and more important in forming government strategy and economic development. Induction and displaying of rules for national competitiveness is helpful in making and verifying economic policy. This study proposes an optimization model to generate rules for competitiveness classes based on 14 Major Competitiveness Indicators of World Competitiveness Yearbook. The obtained rules are composed of ‘IF…THEN’ format to imply dynamic competitiveness during 2001 ~ 2005. The implied types such as improving and depressing are helpful in understanding competitiveness changes of nations. Furthermore, the groups of nations are displayed on spheres based on the dissimilarity among nations. It helps users to observe visually the distribution of nations. Finally, we suggest the strategic implications for various groups of nations to improve or to sustain their competitiveness according to the induced rules.
