Cross-cultural training: a crucial approach to improve the success of expatri...
Expatriate training and development is progressively turning into a crucial human resource development issue for the multinational corporations (MNCs). The motivation for this study is to explore the impact of cross- cultural training (CCT) on the adjustment challenges of Western expatriate managers in the UAE. The findings indicate that the expatriate managers, who were provided with CCT, adjusted more rapidly in their international assignment in the UAE than the expatriates who were not provided with any CCT. This research has nevertheless demonstrated that not only are MNCs in the UAE failing to provide adequate CCT and support for their expatriates, but they are also providing inadequate CCT and support to the expatriate’s accompanying family members. The present study contributes to the discussion about whether MNCs routinely provide their expatriate managers with sufficient CCT. Furthermore, this study has substantial implications for managers and proposes areas for future research in this field.

South Korean Article - March 2016 (Family Office Elite)
The wealth management industry has significant potential in South Korea as the country's ultra-high net worth families and large conglomerates called Chaebols seek to professionalize their family offices and diversify their wealth outside of business interests. Traditionally, Korean business profits were recycled back into operating companies, but families now want to set aside portions of their wealth for future needs through independent advisors. As the Chaebols also internationalize, their experience and openness to different models is growing, allowing the concept of a Western-style family office to gradually take hold and evolve in Korea over generations.
The China Analyst September 2011
China is playing a crucial role in Africa's new construction boom by providing infrastructure in exchange for natural resources. Bilateral trade between China and Africa has increased dramatically from $10 billion in 2000 to over $125 billion in 2010, surpassing Africa's trade with other partners. This trade largely consists of Chinese manufactured goods being exchanged for African raw materials. Chinese companies are actively involved in building infrastructure across Africa such as roads, railways, ports and power plants, which is reshaping the business landscape on the continent and contributing to economic growth.

Rotman 29.10.12
This document discusses trends in technology entrepreneurship and innovation. It argues that innovative companies, cultures, ecosystems, universities, individuals and societies are more important than innovation alone. True innovation requires creativity, entrepreneurship and commercialization. Historically, centers of innovation like Amsterdam and Silicon Valley benefited from diversity, openness, and access to global talent. For a region to be innovative, it needs strong corporate investment, scientific literacy, skilled labor markets, and new models for creating value from data. The document suggests Toronto could become a global center for health innovation startups due to its ecosystem of medical innovators and venture capital.
How did we miss the crisis in mali
The international community failed to anticipate the crisis in Mali for several reasons: (1) they had an outdated view of foreign policy based on past wars and conflicts rather than current dynamics; (2) they did not address the problems caused by colonial-era boundaries in Africa that undermine state stability; and (3) they did not recognize how global migration, such as the thousands of armed militants who left Libya for Mali, threatens security. To prevent future crises, new approaches are needed regarding foreign aid, resource revenue management, and institutions to manage regions divided by arbitrary colonial borders.

Developments & Prospects of HK as a Knowledge-based Economy (Oct 2012) Asia Pacific Intellectual Capital Centre Ltd
Hong Kong has traditionally had a free trade economy but now needs to transition to a knowledge-based economy to sustain growth. While Hong Kong excels in basic infrastructure and financial markets, it lags in innovation and high education. To thrive in the future, Hong Kong must focus on high value knowledge industries and supporting all knowledge-intensive sectors through a horizontal strategy rather than picking winners. Hong Kong is well positioned to commercialize technology from China and connect Chinese and international companies due to its legal system, infrastructure and proximity to China. It should leverage these strengths to become a hub for the global knowledge economy.Tahseen Consulting’s CEO Sees Strong Potential for Dubai’s Growth as an Islam...

- 11. READING THE PATTERNS DESIGNING THE NEW INVESTMENT CODE New relationships drive the global economy. They are not as predictable as many want them to be. India has many tendencies, Punjab focuses on Pakistan Turkey becomes a major regional player, from Kazakhstan to Tunisia and Istanbul becomes a major global hub, matching Singapore. China, India, Turkey all become players in the digital economy Cities and new units become the drivers as economic arrangements predicated on 20th century needs (the Euro, the U.S. federal expenditure structure) prove less nimble than new players (Qatar is a case study). Success is not guaranteed. It will require political leadership.
