Global Edge Comparison Paper David Jacobsen Indiana Wesleyan University MBAO256 ADM 508 James Kraai

Singapore is an emerging global powerhouse on the economic market. As part of the East Asia & Pacific Region, Singapore is leading the charge as one of the most successful companies in a very successful region. Out of 183 countries, several factors are used to evaluate and rank them on aspects of business ease and cost.

It shares the block with countries like Thailand who is ranked 13th out of the 183 countries by doing business yet has a Gross Domestic Product only a fraction of the size of Singapore’s. In fact when you compare the companies in the Trade Bloc, Singapore is by far the largest as far as GDP and has one of the smaller population sizes.

He states “Singapore was able to position itself as one of the fastest growing economies in the world for one key reason.” He talks about the assistance programs provided to Singapore based companies to encourage expansion.
