The investment decisions regarding the infrastructure of a nation depend on its economic, social, and cultural objectives. Creating a policy regarding infrastructure investment is complicated, and the process usually is subjective varies for different nations. This study determines which infrastructure category should be invested in by a nation based on its performance against other nations in the WCY. We also developed a different selection model, compared to that of the WCY that suggests indicators which will allow a nation to make greater progress in the WCY’s ranking in terms of improvement in competitiveness measurement. We ranked the indicators based on their performances in terms of not only standard deviations but also leading and falling-behind groups classified by the cluster analysis. The discriminant competitiveness graphic-based representation of the indicator performance allowed policy makers to formulate the infrastructure strategies.
