Technology Transfer through Training Spillovers
HRD activities conducted by the MNEs have proven to be important for host developing countries since domestic firms are more likely to face training constraints due to market failure. MNE training is also important since it is most likely to bring in the advanced skills and technologies to which domestic firms otherwise have no access. One important channel through which this technology may transfer from MNEs to domestic firms is the so-called training spillovers.

HRD Policies to Promote Training and Spillovers
The above assessment of selected past empirical evidence suggests that firms, in spite of large productivity gains, underinvest in training due to market failures such as credit market constraints, lack of information and labour turnovers. The underinvestment is even more acute among small- and medium-sized domestic firms that tend to have higher productivity gains from training compared to MNEs or large domestic firms. It has also shown that MNEs have numerous channels to improve HRD in host developing countries by training their own workers and facilitating training spillovers. This calls for policy measures to tackle market failures in training and to stimulate training spillovers, especially among domestic small- and medium-sized firms.

When the Fed Bails Out the BIG 3...Who Bails Out the Dealers?
The Senate and House got a jolt this week while debating whether to bail out the Big 3 when it was learned that we shed over 500,000 jobs in November. The possibility of additional job losses from the domestic auto industry became the main reason for rushing to approve a bail out. Weʼll call it “Job 1”, coining a phrase from Ford. During the wonder years of post 911 rebates, 0% financing, and high margin sales of pick-ups and large SUVʼs the domestic manufacturers started adding new dealership locations like drunken sailors, diluting the value of the existing locations, lowering their sales, raising their marketing expenses for a share of voice in the over crowded print and electronic media, while forcing additional inventory on all of the locations.

Will the Ghost of Harold Kutner Still Haunt the Corridors of the New GM? (Commentary)
In a May 15th, 2000 Business Week article Harold Kutner was referred to as an "old school purchasing guy with a reputation for playing hardball with suppliers." Amongst his heralded "accomplishments" at the time was the fact that he was the driving "force behind the auto industry's first e-marketplace for car makers and parts suppliers" (Covisint comes to mind here).
What are the three biggest challenges suppliers face in their efforts to win government business?
Being well into the 7-Part "Seven Steps to Success: Jump Start Government Contracts Series," with expert author Judy Bradt on the PI Window on Business Show on Blog Talk Radio, the launch of the Public Sector Suppliers Forum on LinkedIn and of course the Essential Connections Blog, we seem to have touched on a hot topic that has been simmering for some time. Specifically, the disconnect between the tremendous opportunities afforded companies through government contracting, and the practical realization of said opportunities for the majority of suppliers.
Online Suppliers: Contracts, Digital Signing and more
As a small business, working with Freelancers or a Virtual Team often means finding a way to contract with an online supplier, and setting up a way to ensure that you receive the contracted services. This protection potentially means setting up an escrow account, and requesting milestone payments. When you're new to the world of virtual business all of these concepts can make your head spin. How do you find suppliers you can trust, and even then how do you protect yourself, your clients and be fair to your suppliers contractually and financially?
Choosing Suppliers
Most people select suppliers of goods and services on a combination of price and inertia. We keep on buying from our current suppliers until we feel (or find out) we can get a better price elsewhere. Perhaps we need to be a little more careful about how we do this ... inertia is not a very effective means of ensuring value for money. This brief article takes you through a simple process that should help you save money and reduce risks.
