Sector Competitiveness Analysis Tools: Reference Guide

The World Bank Sector Competitiveness Analysis Tools (SCAT) Reference Guide provides a step-by-step approach, using a framework and encyclopedic set of tools, to identify sectors and products with the most competitiveness potential, and then carry out public-private dialogue to analyze the gaps in a sector’s environment and come up with public, private and public-private action items. The guide draws extensively on data sources and techniques from the economics, trade, business strategy, and marketing fields. Relevant tools include: sector selection and analysis of market dynamics; a skills gap analysis; a desk research guide; and guides to interviews with firms and other stakeholders.
