Appendix C Appendix Global Innovation Index Rankings for Countries <Title> in Case Study and World Bank Sector Strategies The Global Innovation Index goes beyond traditional measures of innovation — number of research articles and the level of R&D expenditures. It measures innovation based on a combination of innovation input (that is, institutions, human capital research, infrastructure, market sophistication, and business sophistication) and innovation output (that is, knowledge and technology outputs and creative outputs) in a society.
