Core-peripheries in South Korea
Introduction
By definition, core-periphery is a concept that was postulated by Friedman in the year 1966 and other scholars which primarily describes and explains uneven development process whereby primary core areas of the country hold educational, economic, political, social power and source their primary raw materials from the periphery (In Westwood, 2014). Additionally, peripheral areas depend on the livelihood of the core areas which in most cases have weaker political influence, lower economies, lower educational levels, and lower innovation rates. Most of the Asian countries are peripheral countries excluding South Korea and Japan. In south-Korea for instance, the demilitarized zone that exists between the South and North Korea represent the physical division between the periphery and the core (In Westwood, 2014). This report will, therefore, describe and identify different maps that depict core-peripheral regions in South Korea and across the continent, it will show country maps that are showing the separation and relationship between core-periphery areas in South Korea, it will discuss the reason the core areas have succeeded and the justification of the country maps that were selected.
Justification of a countries map
This map was chosen because of its depiction of the South Korean economic progression from a peripheral agrarian economy. In other words, it characterizes the modern world economy that is fundamentally characterized by the disparities that exist in the periphery and the core areas in South Korea the capitalism (In Westwood, 2014). In simple terms, the way this map was drawn clearly typifies the division of labor existing between the semi-periphery and the core states as well as the endless accumulation of capital between the core-periphery areas in South Korea (In Westwood, 2014). Additionally, the degree of profitability as far as the production process is concerned apparently makes up the difference that exists between the core, periphery, and semi-periphery areas. In this case, the core areas of South Korea features practical and advanced economic activities such that their production processes are controlled by quasi-monopolies which make them more competitive (In Westwood, 2014). Moreover, semi-peripheral areas are in most cases economically mixed. According to some scholars, it is clear that, in a system that is attributed to endless capital accumulation and division of labor, the result is basically to exchange of products and goods in unequal proportion where peripheral states and areas exchange faulty products.
Discussion
In South Korea as compared to other Asian countries, there were no cases of collusion. For example, in government relations that occurred with the conglomerates business of Cheobols, what is commonly known as a statist developmental parad ...

The document discusses core-periphery relationships in South Korea by analyzing maps that depict regional development patterns. Five maps are described showing population density, urbanization trends, and transportation infrastructure to justify delimiting Seoul and surrounding areas as the core, with less populated peripheral regions dependent on the core economically. Reasons for the core's success include government investment and industrial policies that boosted sectors like chemicals and manufacturing. The peripheries lagged due to weaker economies and political influence. Future prospects discussed include potential threats from unequal development and opportunities from investment programs aimed at peripheral regions.
Since decades, modern economics is considered to be a social science, and has become so deeply rooted in the thoughts of western individuals that it has gained a position as nothing more than common sense, even though its fundamental rules have proved to be illogical (Radice, 2008). These rules also act as the guiding principles for Neoliberalism, which is a theory that derives its roots from modern economics. The foundation of modern economics was laid by Adam Smith, who is also known as the father of modern economics, in his work ‘The Wealth of Nations’ (Liow, 2012).
This document summarizes a master's thesis that examines the relationship between Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa and institutional quality in African nations. Using FDI flow data from 2003-2010 from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and an institutional quality measure from the World Bank, the author found a significant positive relationship between these variables. Other factors like natural resources, population, productivity, and life expectancy also influenced FDI levels. The paper aims to analyze the characteristics of Chinese FDI in Africa and determine if institutional quality impacts investment levels. It also discusses how FDI, economic growth, and development are linked and the role of institutions.
Fiscal Decentralization and Special Local Autonomy: Evidence from an Emerging...Suwandi, Dr. SE.,MSi
The quest of searching the endogeny variables of financial decentralization in emerging markets have become a serious topic due to the increasing wave of decentralized regions in many countries. The paper aimsto examine the effects of fiscal decentralization and specific local autonomy on economic growth, employment, poverty, and welfare in the special province Papua (Indonesia). The study exploited the main data of the decentralization fund by using a panel data of eight regencies and municipals, particularly the regional autonomy fund, direct and indirect government expenditure, and economic growth. The paper used the path analysis to explore the relationships of the observed variables. The results revealed that the decentralization fund influenced significantly on government’s direct expenditure and economic growth. The special local autonomy's fund has influenced considerably on government’s indirect expenditure. Its effect has increased, through economic growth as the intermediating variable, meaningfully on employment, poverty, and welfare. The results are in line with the prior studies, which explore the consequences of decentralization and specific autonomy to spur the economic growth in certain regions. It implies that the economic development strategies in Indonesia’s less-developed regions should be started with a bigger autonomy transfer program to those regions and simultaneously enhanced it by special budget allocation to trigger and support the development.
The economic landscape of the world is changing rapidly. The nations which were once categorized as developing are now swiftly emerging with eminent powers and are posing a threat to the already existing superpowers of the world. A superpower is a nation which has both the
capacity and the capability of projecting its dictating influence and power on any place all across the planet. Another definition suggests that a nation having a leading position in the global system in addition to the ability to dominate is a superpower.
The Importance of State-Business Relations in Advancing Developmental Goals i...Abel Diale
This document discusses state-business relations in South Africa and the potential role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in advancing development goals. It provides background on the contested role of the state in the economy and tensions between state and business. While globalization and neo-liberal reforms reduced the state's role, CSR could help business organizations position themselves as socially responsible and assist the state's development aims by addressing social needs. The document examines debates around CSR and analyzes past state-business relations in South Africa to determine if CSR could enhance cooperation between the two.
Dr. Jun Kyu Lee gave a lecture on South Korea's economic development and response to the global economic crisis. He explained that South Korea transformed from one of the world's poorest countries to the 13th largest economy through large investments in education, an export-focused industrialization strategy, long-term economic planning, and rapid technology adoption. South Korea is also working through international cooperation and the G20 to address the crisis and promote global economic stability. Dr. Lee highlighted how South Korea's past experiences with financial turmoil and decisive government policies have allowed it to recover faster from the current crisis compared to other nations.
Government performance management and evaluation (history and current practicesNURAINIZZATIBTROSDI
This document summarizes the history and current practices of government performance management and evaluation in South Korea. It discusses how the Korean system was initially influenced by models from the United States but developed distinct features due to Korea's institutional and cultural context. The key features of the Korean system include an emphasis on centralization, hierarchy, group harmony, and submission to authority. It also features the involvement of civilian committees in oversight and the use of advanced information technology. The document provides an overview of Korea's legal framework and the processes of self-evaluation and specific evaluation that are used to assess performance at the organizational level.

Emering donors and knowledge sharing for development Dr Lendy Spires
This document discusses South Korea's efforts to share its development experiences and policies with other developing countries through its Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP). While KSP aims to mobilize lessons from Korea's own economic rise, it faces challenges in ensuring its initiatives are effective and not overly politicized. Specifically, the Korean government's control over interpreting its development history risks suppressing alternative views. Additionally, Korea's fragmented aid system and lack of civil society engagement limit the coherence and validity of any single model it promotes. For KSP to be most impactful, the document argues Korea must address these issues and promote open dialogue incorporating diverse perspectives on its development path.
The document discusses the importance of considering context in corporate social responsibility (CSR) research, particularly for developing countries. It focuses on three key contextual issues that influence CSR and CSR reporting: political ideology and state control in China, cultural understandings in the Middle East, and the impact of historical economic context in Sri Lanka. The document argues that CSR research often fails to fully investigate these important contextual factors and instead relies on theories developed from Western contexts, which may not apply to developing countries with very different socio-political environments.
Uncertainty of rganisation environment in developing countriesSolomon Adetokunbo
This document discusses the uncertainty of organizational environments in developing countries. It outlines several factors that contribute to uncertainty, including economic/global factors, demographic changes, political instability, and socio-cultural differences. Developing countries face more uncertainty due to a lack of access to information, an inability to accurately anticipate consequences, and internal and external shocks. Managers must frequently analyze internal and external environmental elements to identify opportunities and threats and determine the best strategies for organizations to succeed despite uncertain conditions.

Will-women-in-low-income-countries-get-lost-in-transformation-Louise-FoxLouise Fox
This document provides an overview of a paper that analyzes how economic transformation may affect women in low-income countries. It defines economic transformation as the movement of resources to more productive sectors and activities. While economic change can create opportunities, it also creates winners and losers. The paper aims to determine whether transformation is likely to increase women's income, power, and agency by considering their roles as workers, producers, consumers, mothers, and citizens. It argues that overall the prospects for beneficial effects are good if complementary policies are implemented to promote equality of opportunity. However, the extent of benefits depends on factors like existing gender norms and inequalities.
This document analyzes decentralization in India and its impact on social infrastructure and rural development. It discusses key issues regarding fiscal decentralization in India, including the centripetal bias in the constitutional assignment of powers and taxation toward the central government. The study aims to empirically examine the causal relationship between decentralization and development outcomes in India by analyzing its effects on social infrastructure and rural development, where about 70% of the population lives. While decentralization could potentially improve development outcomes by better matching policies to local needs, the impacts may vary across states and decentralization could also empower local elites at the expense of the poor.

Governance for economic and social development in Africa: A special reference...iosrjce
When we say Africa we say poverty, disease and war. We just have the wrong vision about it. Today,
this big forest continent has changed. We don't have the old disastrous rates about war, floods and corruption.
We have improvement in many sectors starting agriculture, natural resources and higher studies.
Africa’s economic prospects have never been brighter. But realizing this potential depends on governments
understanding the private sector and how to support it. This is an extremely important part of the work that the
Africa Governance Initiative does.
This is big evidence about Africa progress. In fact, most African countries have marked recent years, a
significant turning point. Thanks to the role that governance plays in achieving economic and social
performance. This has been achieved through the establishment of effective and accountable institutions,
whether political, economic or social, plays a key role in achieving social and economic performance especially
in the countries of the continent.
This paper will focus on the study of the relevance or otherwise of the implementation of the governance model
in terms of social and economic performance in Africa. This argument is supported by a governance assessment
carried out according to the Ibrahim Index of African Governance.
Emering donors and knowledge sharing for development the case of koreaDr Lendy Spires
South Korea has emerged as an "emerging donor" country that shares its development experiences and policies with other developing nations through programs like its Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP). However, KSP has limitations like South Korea's monopoly over interpreting its own development history and a narrow focus on economic factors. For KSP to be more effective, South Korea needs to present a more open and heterodox view of its development and consider social and political factors, not just economic ones.
1. The document discusses the prospects for a demographic dividend in Africa in the near future. While fertility declines that change population age structures have been slow, some factors could hasten the process, like economic development, mortality decline, and investments in family planning.
2. A demographic dividend occurs when a rising proportion of the population is working-age, lowering dependency ratios and freeing up resources for investment. This can fuel economic growth. However, complementary policies are needed to take advantage of the opportunity.
3. The economics of a demographic dividend for Africa includes potential benefits like increased income and savings. However, realizing these gains depends on labor market conditions and complementary socioeconomic factors. Problems include rising unemployment and changing social dynamics
Korea's National Innovation System_ Andre Roland CharlesAndre Charles
South Korea's rapid economic growth from an impoverished agrarian economy to the world's 12th largest economy was underpinned by the government's strategic policy focus on building science and technology capacity. The government played a vital role in stimulating technical progress and economic expansion through Korea's national innovation system (NIS). The NIS framework views the main elements as universities, firms, and government, and their dynamic interactions that facilitate innovation and economic growth. Korea identified its strengths in human resources but weaknesses in technology and resources, and pursued a path of government-led science and technology development to transform the country from a technology immitator to a leading innovative economy.

Prepare a 3 page paper based on your on-line research.
Objective : Assess political, legal, cultural, and economic influences on international business
that may affect your global product/service.
Background: A country\'s business environment may be influenced by the importance of family,
religious beliefs and demographic trends. It is useful to gain social and cultural awareness about
the country you are considering for your global product/service.
In addition, political stability is commonly related to the type of government and degree of
corruption present in a country. A company my also face various business regulations and legal
constraints that could affect global business decisions.
Globalization Case Study:
You are a senior executive of a firm that is seeking to expand globally. The Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) has tasked you to develop a Business Plan (see Global Business Plan Activities).
During this case study, be thinking of a product or service which you may wish to be the focus of
your Business Plan.
For Activity #2, the CEO asked you to study national differences and political economics
associated with the Business Plan.
For your selected global product or service, assess the potential markets in five parts of the
world: Argentina, Ghana, the Czech Republic, Indonesia, and one nation selected by the student.
Make a table that characterizes and briefly discusses the growth potential, political risk,
economic risk, legal risk, and cultural differences that might influence the costs of doing
business in the country. Also address cultural considerations that might affect the firm’s business
practices in the country and the overall attractiveness of the country for your company\'s
product/service.
Be sure to cite your sources.
Solution
Growth Potential that might influence the cost of doing business in the country
In the current economic climate, growth remains a key government priority. The literature on
economic growth has turned to the effects of country\'s political, legal, economic and social
institutions on wealth and long-term growth (Acemoglu et al. (Acemoglu et al., 2001 and
Acemoglu et al., November 2002), Dollar and Kraay (Dollar & Kraay, 2003), Easterly and
Levine (Easterly & Levine, 1997), Hall and Jones (Hall Robert & Jones Charles, 1999), Knack
and Keefer (Knack & Keefer, 1995), Mauro (Mauro, 1995), Rodrik et al. (R, A, & Trebbi, 2002),
and many others). It is obvious that countries with better institutions grow faster. However, as
noted by Rodrik et al. (Hanusch, 30 June 2011), it is difficult to identify which institutions matter
and how does one acquire them. This is a question of some practical importance. In recent years,
the proliferation of datasets aiming to measure a wide gamut of institutional reforms allowed
economists to make progress in this area. In this context, the World Bank has been publishing a
series of annual Doing Business reports since 2004 investigating regulations that enhance
business activi.
This document discusses a study examining the link between institutions and industrial development across Indian states. It analyzes three major components of institutions: legal institutions, state intervention, and political institutions. The study uses data on state GDP growth and industrial development levels across states to empirically test the significance of each institutional component in explaining variations. The results suggest state intervention significantly explains GDP growth variation, while all three institutional components highly significantly explain differences in industrial development levels across Indian states. The study aims to analyze the role of different institutional components in state-level industrial development using regression analysis.
This document is an essay discussing constraints on state intervention in Sub-Saharan Africa since independence, and whether public policies conducted by high-growth Asian developmental states are relevant for Sub-Saharan African economies. It analyzes constraints such as weak institutions, dependence on commodities, and delayed development. It argues that while constraints make development difficult for Sub-Saharan Africa, countries can still follow the path of Asian developmental states by using state intervention to diversify their economies through policies like investing commodity revenues into other industries and infrastructure. It uses the examples of South Korea and the Republic of Congo to show how Congo could potentially follow a similar development path if it commits to diversifying its oil-dependent economy and strengthening state institutions.
Corporate Governance in Local Governments of the Public Sector for Sustainabl...ijtsrd
Corporate governance in the public sector, particularly, in local governments is crucial to quality service delivery, citizen participation and sustainable development. Using Integrative Review approach, the study sought to review literature on corporate governance in local governments of the public sector. The results, according to the frame of the study based on selected literature revealed that most studies focused on one rather than two or more countries, there appeared to be less quantitative studies than qualitative studies, there seemed to be more reviews on the subject than empirical studies. The study confirms that public sector corporate governance as a concept is receiving some attention in both practice and literature.

This document provides an introduction and literature review for a research paper that examines the relationship between the adoption of public-private partnership (PPP) policy frameworks and the viability of infrastructure-based PPP projects in Sub-Saharan African countries. The author defines key terms and variables, establishes indicators of PPP project viability, and reviews existing literature on PPP policies and projects in both developed and developing countries. The literature review reveals gaps in research specifically focusing on Sub-Saharan Africa. The author aims to add to current knowledge by conducting quantitative analysis to determine if a causal relationship exists between the adoption of PPP policy frameworks and increased viability of PPP projects in the region.

Introduction
Establishment of a business in a foreign land depends on strict evaluation and analysis of various factors inclusive of; the barriers to entry in the foreign nation, the legal systems, customer base, potentiality of growth, economic performance, and the cultural framework of the natives there. Failure to scrutinize such factors might impact success of the business negatively (Schill, 2014). This paper discusses the factors that a regional bank needs to consider before expanding into a foreign nation, China for this case. It uses Union Bancshares (UNB), a Californian based regional bank as an example.
Possible challenges in the new environment
This may be analyzed in three perspectives; educational discrepancies, cultural differences, and other social demographics. Culture refers to the values and norms held by members of a given society; the good and the bad defined by a society. Cultural conflict is felt a great depth in the work place, if the workers therein are from different ethnic origins. For UNB to ensure it gains a positive reputation in the public sector, the company’s management will need to employ workers from diverse cultural setups. Despite this move being positive in some way, the conflicts arising in the work place due to differing cultural expectations might hamper work progress negatively leading to poor performance. Another challenge is education level of potential employees within the locality within which the company plans to establish itself. Specific technical personnel might be inadequate in China compelling UNB’s management to outsource workers from far geographical locations, this is a costly process.
Legal and political environments
The legal systems in China are flexible rather than static. This poses a great challenge to foreign investors since laws regarding foreign investors might change negatively at the time of their investment. In People’s Republic of China, laws governing the business sector are made in the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the judicial system is vested with the power of ensuring all parties comply. When making a foreign direct investment, the first step is to describe in detail the pros and cons of the business to China’s economy, if the pros exceed the cons then the business is listed under the permitted category as long as all other factors have been fully satisfied. China is a politically stable nation despite its long term poor relation with Taiwan. This is a positive indicator for UNB since business operations are not likely to be disrupted due to political clash.
Government involvement in the private sector
A comparison to the US business practice is made to gauge the level with which the government intervenes in private businesses in Peop.
Formalisation policies, informal resource sector and de re-centralisation of ...Dr Lendy Spires
The document analyzes how formalization policies in small-scale mining sectors in Africa and Asia have often failed to empower poorer miners and instead contributed to livelihood insecurity. It examines cases of decentralization, recentralization, and reversals of power over regulatory processes in Zimbabwe and Indonesia. Efforts to decentralize decision-making were short-lived and replaced by national efforts to recentralize power between 2005-2012. The analysis illustrates how formalization's supposed benefits have been elusive for low-income communities who have been excluded from regulatory reform. It also considers how formalization policies have justified crackdowns, worsening livelihoods and causing negative social, environmental, and economic outcomes. The conclusions suggest the need to consider
Prudent macroeconomic management is important for poverty reduction and sustainable development in Nigeria. Over the past 30 years, Nigeria has experienced macroeconomic instability, financial distress, political uncertainty, high unemployment, insecurity, poverty, and natural resource mismanagement. Sound macroeconomic policies that promote economic growth through efficient allocation of resources can help reduce poverty and enable sustainable development. However, Nigeria's high levels of corruption and poor macroeconomic management have undermined growth and development goals. Prudent management of resources is needed to achieve more equitable distribution of wealth and opportunities for poverty reduction.
This document summarizes an article on economic transformation in Africa. It finds that since independence, African countries have struggled with poverty, disease, and ignorance. While some countries have made progress on macroeconomic reforms like exchange rates, fiscal imbalances remain a challenge. Agricultural development, private sector growth, and human development are key to sustainable economic transformation. Governments need policies to encourage private business, diversify economies, support agriculture, and intervene strategically. Overall economic transformation depends on stable macroeconomic policies, agricultural investment, industrialization led by entrepreneurs, and building institutional and human capital.

Emering donors and knowledge sharing for development Dr Lendy Spires
This document discusses South Korea's efforts to share its development experiences and policies with other developing countries through its Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP). While KSP aims to mobilize lessons from Korea's own economic rise, it faces challenges in ensuring its initiatives are effective and not overly politicized. Specifically, the Korean government's control over interpreting its development history risks suppressing alternative views. Additionally, Korea's fragmented aid system and lack of civil society engagement limit the coherence and validity of any single model it promotes. For KSP to be most impactful, the document argues Korea must address these issues and promote open dialogue incorporating diverse perspectives on its development path.
The document discusses the importance of considering context in corporate social responsibility (CSR) research, particularly for developing countries. It focuses on three key contextual issues that influence CSR and CSR reporting: political ideology and state control in China, cultural understandings in the Middle East, and the impact of historical economic context in Sri Lanka. The document argues that CSR research often fails to fully investigate these important contextual factors and instead relies on theories developed from Western contexts, which may not apply to developing countries with very different socio-political environments.
Uncertainty of rganisation environment in developing countriesSolomon Adetokunbo
This document discusses the uncertainty of organizational environments in developing countries. It outlines several factors that contribute to uncertainty, including economic/global factors, demographic changes, political instability, and socio-cultural differences. Developing countries face more uncertainty due to a lack of access to information, an inability to accurately anticipate consequences, and internal and external shocks. Managers must frequently analyze internal and external environmental elements to identify opportunities and threats and determine the best strategies for organizations to succeed despite uncertain conditions.

Will-women-in-low-income-countries-get-lost-in-transformation-Louise-FoxLouise Fox
This document provides an overview of a paper that analyzes how economic transformation may affect women in low-income countries. It defines economic transformation as the movement of resources to more productive sectors and activities. While economic change can create opportunities, it also creates winners and losers. The paper aims to determine whether transformation is likely to increase women's income, power, and agency by considering their roles as workers, producers, consumers, mothers, and citizens. It argues that overall the prospects for beneficial effects are good if complementary policies are implemented to promote equality of opportunity. However, the extent of benefits depends on factors like existing gender norms and inequalities.
This document analyzes decentralization in India and its impact on social infrastructure and rural development. It discusses key issues regarding fiscal decentralization in India, including the centripetal bias in the constitutional assignment of powers and taxation toward the central government. The study aims to empirically examine the causal relationship between decentralization and development outcomes in India by analyzing its effects on social infrastructure and rural development, where about 70% of the population lives. While decentralization could potentially improve development outcomes by better matching policies to local needs, the impacts may vary across states and decentralization could also empower local elites at the expense of the poor.

Governance for economic and social development in Africa: A special reference...iosrjce
When we say Africa we say poverty, disease and war. We just have the wrong vision about it. Today,
this big forest continent has changed. We don't have the old disastrous rates about war, floods and corruption.
We have improvement in many sectors starting agriculture, natural resources and higher studies.
Africa’s economic prospects have never been brighter. But realizing this potential depends on governments
understanding the private sector and how to support it. This is an extremely important part of the work that the
Africa Governance Initiative does.
This is big evidence about Africa progress. In fact, most African countries have marked recent years, a
significant turning point. Thanks to the role that governance plays in achieving economic and social
performance. This has been achieved through the establishment of effective and accountable institutions,
whether political, economic or social, plays a key role in achieving social and economic performance especially
in the countries of the continent.
This paper will focus on the study of the relevance or otherwise of the implementation of the governance model
in terms of social and economic performance in Africa. This argument is supported by a governance assessment
carried out according to the Ibrahim Index of African Governance.
Emering donors and knowledge sharing for development the case of koreaDr Lendy Spires
South Korea has emerged as an "emerging donor" country that shares its development experiences and policies with other developing nations through programs like its Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP). However, KSP has limitations like South Korea's monopoly over interpreting its own development history and a narrow focus on economic factors. For KSP to be more effective, South Korea needs to present a more open and heterodox view of its development and consider social and political factors, not just economic ones.
1. The document discusses the prospects for a demographic dividend in Africa in the near future. While fertility declines that change population age structures have been slow, some factors could hasten the process, like economic development, mortality decline, and investments in family planning.
2. A demographic dividend occurs when a rising proportion of the population is working-age, lowering dependency ratios and freeing up resources for investment. This can fuel economic growth. However, complementary policies are needed to take advantage of the opportunity.
3. The economics of a demographic dividend for Africa includes potential benefits like increased income and savings. However, realizing these gains depends on labor market conditions and complementary socioeconomic factors. Problems include rising unemployment and changing social dynamics
Korea's National Innovation System_ Andre Roland CharlesAndre Charles
South Korea's rapid economic growth from an impoverished agrarian economy to the world's 12th largest economy was underpinned by the government's strategic policy focus on building science and technology capacity. The government played a vital role in stimulating technical progress and economic expansion through Korea's national innovation system (NIS). The NIS framework views the main elements as universities, firms, and government, and their dynamic interactions that facilitate innovation and economic growth. Korea identified its strengths in human resources but weaknesses in technology and resources, and pursued a path of government-led science and technology development to transform the country from a technology immitator to a leading innovative economy.

Prepare a 3 page paper based on your on-line research.
Objective : Assess political, legal, cultural, and economic influences on international business
that may affect your global product/service.
Background: A country\'s business environment may be influenced by the importance of family,
religious beliefs and demographic trends. It is useful to gain social and cultural awareness about
the country you are considering for your global product/service.
In addition, political stability is commonly related to the type of government and degree of
corruption present in a country. A company my also face various business regulations and legal
constraints that could affect global business decisions.
Globalization Case Study:
You are a senior executive of a firm that is seeking to expand globally. The Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) has tasked you to develop a Business Plan (see Global Business Plan Activities).
During this case study, be thinking of a product or service which you may wish to be the focus of
your Business Plan.
For Activity #2, the CEO asked you to study national differences and political economics
associated with the Business Plan.
For your selected global product or service, assess the potential markets in five parts of the
world: Argentina, Ghana, the Czech Republic, Indonesia, and one nation selected by the student.
Make a table that characterizes and briefly discusses the growth potential, political risk,
economic risk, legal risk, and cultural differences that might influence the costs of doing
business in the country. Also address cultural considerations that might affect the firm’s business
practices in the country and the overall attractiveness of the country for your company\'s
product/service.
Be sure to cite your sources.
Solution
Growth Potential that might influence the cost of doing business in the country
In the current economic climate, growth remains a key government priority. The literature on
economic growth has turned to the effects of country\'s political, legal, economic and social
institutions on wealth and long-term growth (Acemoglu et al. (Acemoglu et al., 2001 and
Acemoglu et al., November 2002), Dollar and Kraay (Dollar & Kraay, 2003), Easterly and
Levine (Easterly & Levine, 1997), Hall and Jones (Hall Robert & Jones Charles, 1999), Knack
and Keefer (Knack & Keefer, 1995), Mauro (Mauro, 1995), Rodrik et al. (R, A, & Trebbi, 2002),
and many others). It is obvious that countries with better institutions grow faster. However, as
noted by Rodrik et al. (Hanusch, 30 June 2011), it is difficult to identify which institutions matter
and how does one acquire them. This is a question of some practical importance. In recent years,
the proliferation of datasets aiming to measure a wide gamut of institutional reforms allowed
economists to make progress in this area. In this context, the World Bank has been publishing a
series of annual Doing Business reports since 2004 investigating regulations that enhance
business activi.
This document discusses a study examining the link between institutions and industrial development across Indian states. It analyzes three major components of institutions: legal institutions, state intervention, and political institutions. The study uses data on state GDP growth and industrial development levels across states to empirically test the significance of each institutional component in explaining variations. The results suggest state intervention significantly explains GDP growth variation, while all three institutional components highly significantly explain differences in industrial development levels across Indian states. The study aims to analyze the role of different institutional components in state-level industrial development using regression analysis.
This document is an essay discussing constraints on state intervention in Sub-Saharan Africa since independence, and whether public policies conducted by high-growth Asian developmental states are relevant for Sub-Saharan African economies. It analyzes constraints such as weak institutions, dependence on commodities, and delayed development. It argues that while constraints make development difficult for Sub-Saharan Africa, countries can still follow the path of Asian developmental states by using state intervention to diversify their economies through policies like investing commodity revenues into other industries and infrastructure. It uses the examples of South Korea and the Republic of Congo to show how Congo could potentially follow a similar development path if it commits to diversifying its oil-dependent economy and strengthening state institutions.
Corporate Governance in Local Governments of the Public Sector for Sustainabl...ijtsrd
Corporate governance in the public sector, particularly, in local governments is crucial to quality service delivery, citizen participation and sustainable development. Using Integrative Review approach, the study sought to review literature on corporate governance in local governments of the public sector. The results, according to the frame of the study based on selected literature revealed that most studies focused on one rather than two or more countries, there appeared to be less quantitative studies than qualitative studies, there seemed to be more reviews on the subject than empirical studies. The study confirms that public sector corporate governance as a concept is receiving some attention in both practice and literature.

Introduction
Establishment of a business in a foreign land depends on strict evaluation and analysis of various factors inclusive of; the barriers to entry in the foreign nation, the legal systems, customer base, potentiality of growth, economic performance, and the cultural framework of the natives there. Failure to scrutinize such factors might impact success of the business negatively (Schill, 2014). This paper discusses the factors that a regional bank needs to consider before expanding into a foreign nation, China for this case. It uses Union Bancshares (UNB), a Californian based regional bank as an example.
Possible challenges in the new environment
This may be analyzed in three perspectives; educational discrepancies, cultural differences, and other social demographics. Culture refers to the values and norms held by members of a given society; the good and the bad defined by a society. Cultural conflict is felt a great depth in the work place, if the workers therein are from different ethnic origins. For UNB to ensure it gains a positive reputation in the public sector, the company’s management will need to employ workers from diverse cultural setups. Despite this move being positive in some way, the conflicts arising in the work place due to differing cultural expectations might hamper work progress negatively leading to poor performance. Another challenge is education level of potential employees within the locality within which the company plans to establish itself. Specific technical personnel might be inadequate in China compelling UNB’s management to outsource workers from far geographical locations, this is a costly process.
Legal and political environments
The legal systems in China are flexible rather than static. This poses a great challenge to foreign investors since laws regarding foreign investors might change negatively at the time of their investment. In People’s Republic of China, laws governing the business sector are made in the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the judicial system is vested with the power of ensuring all parties comply. When making a foreign direct investment, the first step is to describe in detail the pros and cons of the business to China’s economy, if the pros exceed the cons then the business is listed under the permitted category as long as all other factors have been fully satisfied. China is a politically stable nation despite its long term poor relation with Taiwan. This is a positive indicator for UNB since business operations are not likely to be disrupted due to political clash.
Government involvement in the private sector
A comparison to the US business practice is made to gauge the level with which the government intervenes in private businesses in Peop.
Formalisation policies, informal resource sector and de re-centralisation of ...Dr Lendy Spires
The document analyzes how formalization policies in small-scale mining sectors in Africa and Asia have often failed to empower poorer miners and instead contributed to livelihood insecurity. It examines cases of decentralization, recentralization, and reversals of power over regulatory processes in Zimbabwe and Indonesia. Efforts to decentralize decision-making were short-lived and replaced by national efforts to recentralize power between 2005-2012. The analysis illustrates how formalization's supposed benefits have been elusive for low-income communities who have been excluded from regulatory reform. It also considers how formalization policies have justified crackdowns, worsening livelihoods and causing negative social, environmental, and economic outcomes. The conclusions suggest the need to consider
Prudent macroeconomic management is important for poverty reduction and sustainable development in Nigeria. Over the past 30 years, Nigeria has experienced macroeconomic instability, financial distress, political uncertainty, high unemployment, insecurity, poverty, and natural resource mismanagement. Sound macroeconomic policies that promote economic growth through efficient allocation of resources can help reduce poverty and enable sustainable development. However, Nigeria's high levels of corruption and poor macroeconomic management have undermined growth and development goals. Prudent management of resources is needed to achieve more equitable distribution of wealth and opportunities for poverty reduction.
This document summarizes an article on economic transformation in Africa. It finds that since independence, African countries have struggled with poverty, disease, and ignorance. While some countries have made progress on macroeconomic reforms like exchange rates, fiscal imbalances remain a challenge. Agricultural development, private sector growth, and human development are key to sustainable economic transformation. Governments need policies to encourage private business, diversify economies, support agriculture, and intervene strategically. Overall economic transformation depends on stable macroeconomic policies, agricultural investment, industrialization led by entrepreneurs, and building institutional and human capital.

explain why government policymakers seem to prefer applied research
describe how basic research reflects liberal democratic values
Over fifty years ago, Vannevar Bush released his enormously influential report, Science, the Endless Frontier, which asserted a dichotomy between basic and applied science. This view was at the core of the compact between government and science that led to the golden age of scientific research after World War II—a compact that is currently under severe stress. In this book, Donald Stokes challenges Bush’s view and maintains that we can only rebuild the relationship between government and the scientific community when we understand what is wrong with that view.
Stokes begins with an analysis of the goals of understanding and use in scientific research. He recasts the widely accepted view of the tension between understanding and use, citing as a model case the fundamental yet use-inspired studies by which Louis Pasteur laid the foundations of microbiology a century ago. Pasteur worked in the era of the “second industrial revolution,” when the relationship between basic science and technological change assumed its modern form. Over subsequent decades, technology has been increasingly science-based. But science has been increasingly technology-based–with the choice of problems and the conduct of research often inspired by societal needs. An example is the work of the quantum-effects physicists who are probing the phenomena revealed by the miniaturization of semiconductors from the time of the transistor’s discovery after World War II.
On this revised, interactive view of science and technology, Stokes builds a convincing case that by recognizing the importance of use-inspired basic research we can frame a new compact between science and government. His conclusions have major implications for both the scientific and policy communities and will be of great interest to those in the broader public who are troubled by the current role of basic science in American democracy.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Core-peripheries in South Korea
Introduction
By definition, core-periphery is a concept that was
postulated by Friedman in the year 1966 and other scholars
which primarily describes and explains uneven development
process whereby primary core areas of the country hold
educational, economic, political, social power and source their
primary raw materials from the periphery (In Westwood, 2014).
Additionally, peripheral areas depend on the livelihood of the
core areas which in most cases have weaker political influence,
lower economies, lower educational levels, and lower
innovation rates. Most of the Asian countries are peripheral
countries excluding South Korea and Japan. In south-Korea for
2. instance, the demilitarized zone that exists between the South
and North Korea represent the physical division between the
periphery and the core (In Westwood, 2014). This report will,
therefore, describe and identify different maps that depict core-
peripheral regions in South Korea and across the continent, it
will show country maps that are showing the separation and
relationship between core-periphery areas in South Korea, it
will discuss the reason the core areas have succeeded and the
justification of the country maps that were selected.
Justification of a countries map
This map was chosen because of its depiction of the
South Korean economic progression from a peripheral agrarian
economy. In other words, it characterizes the modern world
economy that is fundamentally characterized by the disparities
that exist in the periphery and the core areas in South Korea the
capitalism (In Westwood, 2014). In simple terms, the way this
map was drawn clearly typifies the division of labor existing
between the semi-periphery and the core states as well as the
endless accumulation of capital between the core-periphery
areas in South Korea (In Westwood, 2014). Additionally, the
degree of profitability as far as the production process is
concerned apparently makes up the difference that exists
between the core, periphery, and semi-periphery areas. In this
case, the core areas of South Korea features practical and
advanced economic activities such that their production
processes are controlled by quasi-monopolies which make them
more competitive (In Westwood, 2014). Moreover, semi-
peripheral areas are in most cases economically mixed.
According to some scholars, it is clear that, in a system that is
attributed to endless capital accumulation and division of labor,
the result is basically to exchange of products and goods in
unequal proportion where peripheral states and areas exchange
faulty products.
Discussion
In South Korea as compared to other Asian countries,
3. there were no cases of collusion. For example, in government
relations that occurred with the conglomerates business of
Cheobols, what is commonly known as a statist developmental
paradigm was employed as an essential element of the South
Korean business relations (Clark & Indiana University,
Bloomington 2007). In other words, during its developmental
stage, the state macroeconomic policy worked to the benefit of
national businesses while on the other hand the economic
benefits remained confined within the borders of South Korea.
Other Asian countries, therefore, acted as the main source of
raw materials for South Korea (In Westwood, 2014).
Additionally, the state of South Korea imposed strict and
adequate nationalistic policies that were free from in
nationalistic influences such that it exercised control on the
flow of the investment funds to effectively pursue national
economic priorities that are conducive to economic development
as compared to countries like Egypt (Clark & Indiana
University, Bloomington 2007). As a result, South Korea
established an incentivized core or semi like production
processes that up to date have brought it among the core
countries of the world as compared to its neighboring Asian
countries that were hampered by corruption and inadequate
government structures.
South Korea is an example of a state that has moved
down and up in a hierarchical system. Additionally, this can be
attributed to the fact that coupling exogenous factors and
controls on the international investment and global market
interactions, as well as endogenous factors, have collaborated in
moving its economy to the next level (In Westwood, 2014). One
striking significance in this feature is that, immediately after
the former president of South Korea, Park Chung-hee took the
presidential throne in the year 1961; South Korea started
realizing economic improvement. In other words, his
presidential regime implemented a five-year economic
development strategies that were mainly designed to take
advantage of the comparative economic benefits. Additionally,
4. the Republic of South Korea concentrated on the export-
oriented policy industrialization as well as the expansion of
primary economic sectors and the private sectors promotion
(Clark & Indiana University, Bloomington 2007). The economic
policy that was postulated in 1960 shifted to the concentration
of chemicals and heavy industries in the year 1970 which later
changed to focusing on social welfare, promotion of private
investors and stabilization of primary industries in the year
1980s.
The-core peripheral process in South Korea can be
attributed to the state which in one way or the other was able to
craft sound, efficient, as well as consistent economies and
implement them effectively. However, those core areas that are
characterized by the low economic regime and weak economic
levels were hampered by corruption and collusion with some
group of individuals who aimed for personal experience at the
expense of the countries growth.
Additionally, peripheral areas depend on the livelihood
of the core areas which in most cases have weaker political
influence, lower economies, lower educational levels, and lower
innovation rates. Most of the Asian countries are peripheral
countries excluding South Korea and Japan. In south-Korea for
instance, the demilitarized zone that exists between the South
and North Korea represent the physical division between the
periphery and the core.
Conclusion
South Korea as compared to other Asian countries has
well-established economic structures and political strengths. In
other words, while other core countries that are acting as a
source of raw materials are struggling with corruption and
inadequate government structures, South Korea is continuing to
enjoy the benefits of being a peripheral country. Additionally,
the Republic of South Korea as compared to other Asian
continent countries excluding Japan concentrated on the export-
oriented policy industrialization as well as the expansion of
primary economic sectors and the private sectors promotion. In
5. this case, during its developmental stage, the state
macroeconomic policy worked to the benefit of national
businesses while on the other hand the economic benefits
remained confined within the borders of South Korea making
other neighboring countries remain core countries regarding
production and manufacturing processes. Additionally, the
neighboring Asian countries excluding Japan are an example of
core countries that South Korea depends on for economic and
political upheaval. Moreover, semi-peripheral areas are in most
cases economically mixed. According to some scholars, it is
clear that, in a system that is attributed to endless capital
accumulation and division of labor, the result is basically to
exchange of products and goods in unequal proportion where
peripheral states and areas exchange faulty products.

26. Description
In this assignment you will be learning about core and periphery
relationships and applying
your knowledge to an Asian-Pacific Rim nation of your choice.
Core-periphery: is a concept discussed by Friedmann (1966) and
others which describes an uneven development process whereby
core areas hold economic, educational, political, and social
power and source raw materials from the periphery. Peripheral
areas are dependent on the core and typically have weaker
economies and political influence, lower educational levels, and
lower rates of innovation.
Use maps and other sources to define core and periphery areas
within South Korea. Finally,
you will be explaining why the particular core and periphery
areas have developed, and any
threats or opportunities for these regions looking into the
future.
Preparation
Please begin by reading about Asian core and periphery
relationships on pages 20-21 and 86-94 in your course text
(Weightman, 2011). You should also scan the sections of the
text related to your country for relevant information. Next, start
exploring maps for your country on the below listed websites.
You will be selecting and describing 5 maps that justify your
definitions of core and periphery areas in your country.
South Korea The National Atlas of Korea, 2014
http://nationalatlas.ngii.go.kr/national?lang=eng&page_name=I
ndex&page_no=eng-index
Report Contents
You will be writing a report which should include the following
elements.
1) Introduction outlining the core-periphery model, briefly
introducing your country and listing the topics covered in your
report.
2) Map Observation of 5 different maps which you will identify
27. (names, dates, and weblinks), and describe in writing (text
only). You can source the maps from the listed site for your
country, but you may also employ maps from other The
Geography of the Asian-Pacific Rim Core & Periphery Project
sources. The maps need to justify the core and periphery
boundaries that you delimit on the Country Map (see next). You
do not need to include the 5 maps in the report. If at all
possible, please refer to maps that are based on percentages or
proportions, rather than straight numbers. Also, the date that
each map was created is important as it may influence your
conclusions. Make sure the maps are different from each other.
For example, if you are including a map showing percentage of
children, avoid also using a map of percentage of elderly, as
likely the same conclusion could be drawn from both maps since
they are both depicting age as the variable.
3) Country Map(s) showing boundaries of your core and
periphery area(s). Please choose (a) map(s) that suit(s) your
purposes. You can use a graphics package to create your
boundaries electronically, or you can mark up a hard-copy map
(which you should scan to include in your report – see the
library for details on how to use the photocopiers as scanners).
The map should be clear and easy to read and should include a
legend and a title. Each student’s map must be created/drawn
individually and must not be an exact copy of any other
student’s map.
4) Justification of Country Map(s) provides an argument for the
boundaries you selected including explicit references to any
external sources (including the course text) that aided in this
decision. You should refer back to the Map Observations (see
#2) above to support your boundaries. Clearly define what core
and periphery mean in relation to your maps.
5) Discussion of reasons why the core areas have succeeded (for
example, government investment, historical inertia, etc.), and
why the peripheral areas have lagged in development. Also,
what threats and opportunities do you observe for both the core
and periphery areas? Are there any existing or upcoming
28. government programs that invest in either the core or periphery
regions? And, how do you expect these core and periphery areas
to evolve over the next 30 years?
6) Conclusion.
_____________________________________________________
_________________________
Prepare a report is 5 pages in length maximum, in 12pt font, and
double spaced (**title page, reference page, & maps are not
included in the page limit). Your submission will be graded on
the pertinence of the maps you select to the core periphery
model and a robust justification of your core-periphery map
boundaries. The justification (#4) and discussion (#5) are
important sections of the report. In the discussion, you will be
explaining the underlying reasons for the core-periphery
relationships, and evaluating their future prospects.
Organization, spelling and grammar, and formatting (cover
page, page numbers) will also be considered in the grading of
the assignment. Please include full references in APA format
for any sources used.
