There is a lot of talk about protecting America from foreign influence in the US lately whether it be Latin America, the Middle East or Asia. That will only weaken the US, as trade has created great prosperity for the US, whether in wealth creation, pollution reduction, food supply increase, job creation or war prevention. Global collaboration is the best way to create prosperity and a better standard of living for everyone. People will have to be willing to adjust to change though. Ask any respectable economist. I did some research on this a good two years ago, but it is still valid today. Review this presentation. Imagine the past and think about what can be achieved in the future. We just have to start connecting and collaborating more globally. When language barriers come down with advances in translation technology, we will reach heights that no one had ever dreamed of. I hope this presentation gets people thinking.
About six months ago, I mentioned the importance of globalization to the world's economy. But, how does a company form a business strategy in the current environment? Have a look at the attached. Toward the end of the presentation are specific strategies to take. I hope it generates some business ideas to explore.
World Development Report 2016: Digital DividendsTien Hoang
Digital technologies have spread rapidly in much of the world. Digital dividends—that is, the broader development benefits from using these technologies—have lagged behind. In many instances, digital technologies have boosted growth, expanded opportunities, and improved service delivery. Yet their aggregate impact has fallen short and is unevenly distributed. For digital technologies to benefit everyone everywhere requires closing the remaining digital divide, especially in internet access. But greater digital adoption will not be enough. To get the most out of the digital revolution, countries also need to work on the “analog complements”—by strengthening regulations that ensure competition among businesses, by adapting workers’ skills to the demands of the new economy, and by ensuring that institutions are accountable.
This report highlights case studies in which people in developing countries have benefitted from innovative solutions following support from UK Research and Innovation.

Ukraine 2015: A ground-floor opportunity at the EU’s frontier – Horizon Capital
Horizon Capital has developed and shared a comprehensive, data-rich report entitled “Ukraine 2015: A ground-floor opportunity at the EU’s frontier”.
The youngest, most pro-business government in the history of modern Ukraine is driving a bold structural reform agenda that is both the right thing to do for the country as well as the clear demand of an active, engaged civil society. From a business perspective, the lasting competitive advantages in export-focused sectors, such as IT, Agriculture, Food and others, open up exciting investment opportunities, made even more compelling by very attractive valuations.

A NEW GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP: ERADICATE POVERTY AND TRANSFORM ECONOMIES THROUGH S...Dr Lendy Spires
Our vision and our responsibility are to end extreme poverty in all its forms in the context of sustainable development and to have in place the building blocks of sustained prosperity for all.” 1 The Panel came together with a sense of optimism and a deep respect for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The 13 years since the millennium have seen the fastest reduction in poverty in human history: there are half a billion fewer people living below an international poverty line of $1.25 a day.
Child death rates have fallen by more than 30%, with about three million children’s lives saved each year compared to 2000. Deaths from malaria have fallen by one quarter. This unprecedented progress has been driven by a combination of economic growth, better policies, and the global commitment to the MDGs, which set out an inspirational rallying cry for the whole world. Given this remarkable success, it would be a mistake to simply tear up the MDGs and start from scratch. As world leaders agreed at Rio in 2012, new goals and targets need to be grounded in respect for universal human rights, and finish the job that the MDGs started.
Central to this is eradicating extreme poverty from the face of the earth by 2030. This is something that leaders have promised time and again throughout history. Today, it can actually be done. So a new development agenda should carry forward the spirit of the Millennium Declaration and the best of the MDGs, with a practical focus on things like poverty, hunger, water, sanitation, education and healthcare. But to fulfil our vision of promoting sustainable development, we must go beyond the MDGs. They did not focus enough on reaching the very poorest and most excluded people. They were silent on the devastating effects of conflict and violence on development.
The importance to development of good governance and institutions that guarantee the rule of law, free speech and open and accountable government was not included, nor the need for inclusive growth to provide jobs. Most seriously, the MDGs fell short by not integrating the economic, social, and environmental aspects of sustainable development as envisaged in the Millennium Declaration, and by not addressing the need to promote sustainable patterns of consumption and production. The result was that environment and development were never properly brought together. People were working hard – but often separately – on interlinked problems. So the Panel asked some simple questions: starting with the current MDGs, what to keep, what to amend, and what to add. In trying to answer these questions, we listened to the views of women and men, young people, parliamentarians, civil society organisations, indigenous people and local communities, migrants, experts, business, trade unions and governments.
Launched in May 2011, the new global magazine Southern Innovator is about the people across the global South shaping our new world, eradicating poverty and working towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
They are the innovators.
Issue 1 covered the theme of mobile phones and information technology. Issue 2 covers the theme of youth and entrepreneurship.

When should a company simply buy from other companies and resell the products? When should they produce by themselves? I present a costing presentation on this.
There is so much incivility today that the way to argue issues and achieve something has weakened. Therefore, I studied, applied and presented some concepts on how to argue. I hope this presentation is helpful to you.
Every week for the past several months I have been uploading presentations on my international business travels covering some of the over 70 countries I've been to. This is the final presentation in this series and the worst of all the trips. In spite of this tragedy, I continue to enjoy traveling globally. Have a look at the events in this presentation. If you'd like to know more about the hijacking, have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c72aZ5UxbxA&t=3s
As so much technology comes from Europe, the total economy is so huge and each country has its own characteristics, I have traveled extensively there both on sales training projects and developing distributors in each country. This presentation is quite long, so pick the countries you are interested in and just have a look at them. Hopefully you'll find something interesting in them.
I have traveled to many cities in the United States, but over the past 15 years I have found some cities particularly impressive. From Nashville and its music to San Antonio and it river walk, I found some real adventures. Here are six cities I very much liked going to on business trips.
Here is my experience working in Australia and New Zealand. Those two countries have interesting contrasts and similarities to Japan. They have a wealth of natural resources, but Japan does not. They both have low populations for their land sizes, but Japan has a huge population. Japan and New Zealand have similarities in that they both have wonderful natural hot springs, are island nations and are very mountainous. Have a look.
Working in & Traveling to Southern South AmericaRon McFarland
If you think about it, the southern part of South America is the farthest place on earth from Japan, where I live. Therefore, if you travel there you much achieve as much as possible/trip. I usually made 1-month business trips there. It is an important region of the world though with Brazil in particular being a major global country. I have worked in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Chile. I loved them all. Have a look at my travels there.
During my sales training days, I traveled to the northern part of South America several times, only one time to Colombia though. Those countries are very dependent on the production and export of crude oil, particularly Venezuela (95% of exports). We hear in the news of all the problems of civil war and the drug trade regarding Colombia, but actually I think it is the most industrialized among Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. Also, Colombia has a good educational system and is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. I've enjoyed my travels there. Have a look.
Last week, I mentioned traveling in Central America. Although very close, the Caribean is very different. They countries are mostly tourism based, but there are very important raw materials in the region. Also, they have a mixture of some countries having a British colony history and others having a Spanish colony history. Mostly, it is a region to relax and have fun it. Here are my travels to Jamaica, the Dominian Republic, Puerto Rico, Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago.
Here are my travels to Central America. Each (Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama) are different. They all have a charm about them. I mainly gave light-duty truck sales seminars in that region. I hope you enjoy the tour.
Over the years, I've worked in the Canary Islands, Malta, Cyprus and Israel. The Canary Islands was the stopping point of Columbus on his way to discover America. It is part of Spain today and is a tourist destination for Europeans. Malta too is a tourist spot. Interestingly, it has its own language (Maltese) and culture. Cyprus is divided between Greek Cyprus and Turkey. It too is mainly at tourism economy. Israel is the holy land with all the Western religions represented there. All are wonderful places. I worked there mainly giving seminars on pick-up truck and RWD vehicle selling. I hope you enjoy the slides.
West Africa is a region rich in natural resources from oil, to diamonds, to gold and a wide range of agricultural products. Unfortunately, it has a reputation for being the center of the slave trade in the 1600's to 1800's. The region is both English and French speaking. I traveled through that region many time, mostly to Ghana which is English speaking. Here are some slides of my vehicle training work in that region.
East Africa is where us humans originally came from. It is also where coffee was first discovered. I also has a wealth of natural resources. When I traveled through there, I found it the game park center of the world. I loved my business trips there not only for the beautiful animals and scenery but the people and cultures there as well. Have a look.
Between the 1990's and early 2000, I traveled and working in Northern Africa. I felt that that region was more like the Middle East than Africa though. I'd been to Morocco several times, one time to Tunisia and many times to Egypt. It is a region rich in natural resources which it is why it is so important for industrialized countries. Have a look at these slide to give you a feeling for the region. The region has politically greatly than when I was there though. I found wonderful people there.
People say that international travel is fun, but it is far more than that. It opens your eyes to life around the world. My first international trip from California was in 1972. That experience was so impactful that it directed me toward the life I wanted to live, namely interacting with people around the global. To date I have worked with and been to over 80 countries. Here is my very first foreign trip.
We hear so much about all the problems in the Middle East, but my travels there have been wonderful, and I enjoyed working and interacting with the people there very much. This presentations starts with my background in going to Japan and then starting my global working career. I present the six countries I have worked in in the Middle East. Notice the percentage of foreigners in each country. Those foreigners are mainly who I gave training to when traveling there.
I hope you find them enjoyable. If anyone would like to know more specifics in one of those countries, just let me know.
Too often when sales go down people start blaming the sales people, but there are many reasons why sales are made or not made. Only one reason is the activities of the sales people. Therefore, I created and have given a seminar on managing the selling process. It has been my most enjoyable seminar over the years. Here it is for you. I hope you find it informative and interesting. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know.
In the first business management class I took in California in the late 1960's, the professor said that a manager can delegate authority but can never delegate responsibility. The manager always remains responsible. I think that is still true today and is still something many managers don’t fully understand.
We all know organization charts where the president is at the top. He develops company objectives and passes them down to department managers. The department managers then pass assignments down to the staff in their departments. That is the normal flow.
Imagine taking that organization chart and turning it upside down, where the president is at the bottom. He must provide support up to all department managers, so they can successfully achieve their objectives. Also, the department managers must support their staff in achieving each task assigned. This support is often forgotten. Have a look at this presentation I prepared on this subject. It is so often forgotten.

Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

and help each other when need be. They make agreements on how to
work together. Then, that connection and trade continues to grow.

Can those ideas be imported through immigration?
Ideas are spread through the mobility of key engineers. Could they

Could more direct contacts with foreign engineers and other
researchers in conferences be encouraged/promoted?
Could import-competing companies be acquired for technology,
R&D collaboration, patents and licenses?
Could consultation with experts, communications with suppliers,
mergers and joint ventures/alliances be promoted?

As Pacific-Rim countries are targeted for FDI,

should be targeted for greater people exchange.
The UK also should be targeted so as to lever
off existing strong relationships in all
dimensions. For the future immigration from
India and Pakistan could be promoted with its
growing and well-educated middle class and its
fluency in English.

41. Global connectedness and pollution
Pollution
Source: World 3.0 GLOBAL PROSPERITY AND HOW TO ACHIEVE IT
Most ecological problems reside within countries and not between countries. That is not to say
pollution issues should be ignored globally. Some issues like global warming must be addressed
at the global level. River pollution could be handled within a countries or possibly between two
bordering countries. Global expansion could both caused and reduced pollution. Environmental
influence must be considered in any global activity.

Financial
Source: World 3.0 GLOBAL PROSPERITY AND HOW TO ACHIEVE IT
Foreign direct investment (FDI) has shown to be very good for the global economy.
Investment in equities by foreign investors has also shown to be good for the global economy.
Foreign debt has been more problematic when it comes to overall global financial health.

43. Global connectedness and food supply/price risks
World food
Source: World 3.0 GLOBAL PROSPERITY AND HOW TO ACHIEVE IT
Globalization has not caused unstable food prices. Only 18% of wheat, 7% of rice and 10% of
all coarse grains (including corn) were traded across boarders in 2008 (The total production of
these three items is 60% of world caloric intake). Food exports to overall merchandise trade is
around 8.5% ~ 12.2%. This has helped stabilized supply and prices.

44. Global connectedness and unemployment
Source:
World 3.0 GLOBAL PROSPERITY AND HOW TO ACHIEVE IT
Globalization has not caused total unemployment. Labor is not a simple
commodity. People have different skills, experiences, preferences, capabilities and
learning potential. The cause of unemployment is very complicated. It is
influenced by shifts from production to services, changing union strengths, labor-
saving technology and tax changes. Most economists think technology is the
greatest cause of unemployment. Global trade has far less influence. It is not
written in news papers, but strong labor protection has curtailed job losses, but
stifled job creation.

45. Global connectedness and military conflict
Globalization offers diversification and choices. These choices promote
understanding and respect across borders. Even when trade conflict occurs, it is
far better than military conflict. Quite often the lack of mutual trading is the
reasons why wars start. It is particularly true when countries hold monopolies on
valuable raw materials.
There is a direct link between trade (and its occasional conflict) and war.
