The Korea Institute of Design Promotion (KIDP) revealed the results of the National Design Competitiveness Power (NDCP) survey, a new framework to evaluate countries' design competitiveness, reports Dexigner.
The Report on National Design Competitiveness 2008 sampled 80 average people, 30 designers and 20 managers in charge of design at design related firms for each of the 17 countries assessed, and appraised design competitiveness in the public, industrial and civilian design sectors.
The study found that Italy topped the list while France and the US were ranked second and third respectively. Korea and Denmark shared eighth place and Finland came in tenth.
Specifically, France, Italy and the US were ranked high in the public design sector, while the top rankers of industrial design were the US, Germany and Italy. For the civilian design sector, Italy, France and Japan formed a high ranking group.
As for Korea, it was ranked first in a design competitiveness evaluation from the standpoint of human resources, though it left much to be desired in the categories of achievement, environment and investment.
Overall, Italy was the best rounded leader among the 17 countries in the ranking of NDCP index, while developing economies including India and Brazil lagged far behind the top-ranking countries.

I'm Italian and so happy for this! ;)
I wouldn't call a 2 week web survey much of a study from a scientific point of view.
Small sample, "interesting" questions, but hey, there's some good stuff in there also.
I hope someone would make a bit wider survey, with actual interviews and the whole works, so that we would find out once and for all, who is the greatest design nation!
