Kobrin, Professor of Multinational Management, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, USA. Rather, China leads the developing world in liberalizing its foreign investment policies, he noted.

A Revenue Positive Business Model in Public Sector Purchasing (Part 1)
The core “philosophy” behind the New Public Management or “NPM” concept (which has been part of the government lexicon since the 1980s), is the belief that a “market orientation in the public sector will lead to greater cost-efficiency for governments, without having negative side effects on other objectives and considerations.” While there may be merit in the NPM vision, in reality its practical implementation has for the most part been sidetracked into an imitate versus innovate approach.

How to eliminate Poverty – Lesson from the Parable of the Talents
In the bible, Jesus talks about the parable of the talents, wherein the person who multiplied his portion of the money was given more and the one who hoarded it lost even that. The same is EXACTLY true in real life. People who adopted and applied this philosophy multiplied their resources and became rich, and the ones who did not remained poor.
