Abstract

This study constructs a comprehensive framework for evaluating the competitiveness of enterprises in Singapore, integrating both current performance and future potential. Based on a review of existing literature and Singapore's economic context, it develops the Enterprise Competitiveness Index (ECI), which consists of five key dimensions: productivity, profitability, corporate image, stability, and growth. The Analytic Hierarchy Process is adopted to design the hierarchical structure of evaluation indicators, derive indicator weights, and ensure systematic and objective analysis. Empirical analysis is based on financial data from 515 publicly listed Singaporean companies from 2020 to 2023. Results show that financial industries, such as insurance, banking, and REITs, perform strongly in profitability and corporate image. At the same time, sectors like consumer services and transportation demonstrate growth potential but face challenges in stability and productivity. By providing a multidimensional and data-driven evaluation model, the findings support more informed strategic planning, help identify areas for improvement within and across industries, and ultimately foster a more competitive and sustainable corporate environment.

新加坡上市公司企业竞争力调查

本研究构建了一个综合评估新加坡企业竞争力的框架，整合了当前绩效和未来潜力。基于对现有文献和新加坡经济背景的回顾，它开发了企业竞争力指数（ECI），它由五个关键维度组成：生产力，盈利能力，企业形象，稳定性和成长性。采用层次分析法设计评价指标的层次结构，推导指标权重，保证分析的系统性和客观性。实证分析基于515家新加坡上市公司2020年至2023年的财务数据。结果显示，保险业、银行业和REITs等金融行业在盈利能力和企业形象方面表现强劲。与此同时，消费服务和运输等行业显示出增长潜力，但在稳定性和生产率方面面临挑战。通过提供多维度和数据驱动的评估模型，研究结果支持更明智的战略规划，帮助确定行业内和跨行业的改进领域，最终培育更具竞争力和可持续发展的企业环境。
