　　There have been fundamental debates of how a country’s national competitiveness can be assessed amongst researchers, academicians and practitioners alike. For instance, the diamond model is deployed to measure and determine the competitive advantages leading to overall competitiveness of a nation. The World Economic Forum (WEF) and Institute for Management Development (IMD) have developed variables, indices and methodologies to rank the countries’ national competitiveness. The majority of researchers hold the consensus that there is no best model in studying a country’s national competitiveness. Due to the extent that there is still no general agreement as to which is the best model or benchmarking in measuring a country’s competitiveness, this study employs the proposed Star Model, which has five main constructs namely economic performance, technology development, human resource, management capability, and productivity, to assess the national competitiveness of Cambodia, Singapore and Taiwan, to conduct a comparative assessment between the three countries, and to provide visionary perspectives and suggestions to improve national competitiveness in Cambodia, Singapore and Taiwan. The result shows that Taiwan performs better than Singapore and Cambodia on its national competitiveness, and Cambodia needs to put more efforts to improve its national competitiveness.
