The Train Keeps on Rolling ...
There's the "imminent" threat to American economic pre-eminence from China and India. There was a similar, "on our last legs" threat 25 years ago from Japan. And economist and former MIT biz-school dean Lester Thurow claimed a decade or so ago that Europe would eclipse us in the years (or was it weeks?) to come.
What Is the Importance of Attitudes to Workplace Diversity?
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than fact. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstance, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, intelligence or skill. It will make or break a company, a church or a home.

Foreign Joint Ventures in Southeast Asia and the Role of Japan
It is next to impossible to discuss the dynamism of local entrepreneurship in Southeast Asia without discussing its relationship with foreign capital. Foreign joint ventures have been the major form of international linkage in Southeast Asia, transferring technology and skills to local investors.
Entrepreneurs and the State

Government officials are more likely to support their entrepreneurs if they can identify private sector industrialization as being in their interest. Both Southeast Asia and Subsaharan Africa have had challenges in this area.
Networks and Global Linkages
An entrepreneur seeking to enter industry faces high transaction and learning costs. Networks are one way in which entrepreneurs reduce search costs while also lowering the risks of embarking on a new venture. Industrial districts, or clusters of contiguous and often related enterprises, are one way in which networks form. However, today, in an increasingly competitive world, networks need to be global.

LOCAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND GLOBAL LINKAGES: ENABLING CONDITIONS AND CONSTRAINTS
What do entrepreneurs need in order to invest successfully in manufacturing?

Local Entrepreneurship in Southeast Asia and Subsaharan Africa: Networks and Linkages to the Global Economy
For much of the past decade, the world has applauded the striking development performance of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Despite the setbacks caused by the present financial crisis in Asia, the rapid structural transformation and improvement in the standard of living in these three countries remains a powerful testament to the benefits of a strategy emphasizing industrial exports. African countries have tended to remain commodity exporters, and while Africa has remained largely untouched by the "Asian flu", the continent also missed out on the benefits of engagement with the global market.
