changes in the extent of information and technology in the workplace, firm’s production
and organisational strategies, trade and FDI liberalisation policies, and new rules of
international trade and investment. Given these developments, the sectoral trends
(primary, manufacturing and services) in FDI have changed rapidly over the past two
decades. |

Former IBM Pro Lashes Out Over Sales Assessment
| |
| A CEO of a fairly large-sized but under-performing OEM asked us to evaluate his sales force. One of the three regional managers, who assessed as poorly as any regional manager could, called to complain about his results. In addition to calling me a toad, Bob said that in the eighties he used to sell and manage at IBM and he led the top performing team. He finished by letting me know that we didn't know what we were talking about and, by the way, he would be picking me up at the airport for the kick-off of their national training initiative. |
