This document analyzes economic trends in Mongolia from 2010-2019 using GDP, employment, and average wage data from the country's National Statistical Organization. It finds that while livestock and retail industries remain important, employment is shifting to construction, finance, and processing. Average wages have grown the most in construction, ICT, and processing industries, with mining wages being twice as high. The document also examines regional economic specialization through a location quotient analysis for 2009 and 2019, finding that specialization has remained steady in mining areas but declined elsewhere, such as in Darkhan. This decline may be partly due to internal migration driving urbanization toward Ulaanbaatar and a lack of developed regional supply chains.
Cambodia's economic growth path and competitivenessTCI Network
Cambodia experienced robust economic growth over the past two decades thanks to sound macroeconomic policies that attracted investment. However, total factor productivity has moderated and competitiveness has eroded as wages have risen. While investment continues to support growth, employment growth has slowed as the agriculture sector sheds jobs. The economy contracted in 2020 due to the pandemic but is projected to recover in 2021, though sustaining growth will require improving competitiveness through diversification.
Mr. Peang Ratana is a freelance researcher and lecturer who has taught at several universities in Cambodia.

It notes that Asia faces challenges from COVID-19, China's rising influence through initiatives like Belt and Road and Made in China 2025, tensions in international trade, the formation of the RCEP trading bloc, pressures to transition to digital and green economies, and increasing development levels in some countries. Asian nations must navigate relationships with both China and Western powers, while addressing domestic issues like pandemic recovery, supply chain reconfiguration, infrastructure development, and responding to global challenges through local solutions.
1) The document outlines a study that assessed the reliability and validity of students' self-reported learning outcomes against stated course learning outcomes.
2) Preliminary results found the outcome-specific questionnaires to have high reliability. Most courses saw significant increases in student self-ratings from beginning to end.
3) Further analysis is still needed to determine if end-of-course self-ratings correlate with assessments of student task performance against learning outcomes.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

There are differences between
Product & service innovation
Process innovation
Business model innovation
6. www.mesopartner.com 6
Myth busting innovation
Most organisations innovate because:
– They have to
– Customers demand more and …
– New technology
– Competitors innovated
– Serendipity
Most organisations innovate mainly
incrementally driven by imitation
– – not in the DNA of many
Often about learning & adjustment &
recombination
– Not ONLY about design

Knowledge < information < data
Data is measured or observed
numbers, words, etc
Information is data arranged in
meaningful patterns
Knowledge is beliefs,
commitment, perspectives and
action of individuals, teams
and organisations
– It is how we make sense of
information so that we can
use it
“Any fool can know. The point is to
understand.” - Einstein
8. www.mesopartner.com 8
Codified Knowledge
Codified or explicit knowledge
– Captured in routines, stories,
official documents, guidelines…
– Copied, translated and adapted
– Flows between organisations &
societies
– The dynamics in a cluster can
be measured by how codified
knowledge flows
9. www.mesopartner.com 9
Tacit Knowledge
Tacit knowledge
– Harder to explain or capture
– Harder to detect, individuals might not even know they
have it
– Transmitted or shared based on trust
– Combination of natural talent, past experience, prior
codified knowledge shaped in the environment

your unit?
Which factors inhibit
this form of knowledge
creation in your unit?Tinkering and
experimentation
Deductive reasoning,
research
Collaborating,
engaging with others
15. www.mesopartner.com 15
Conclusion: Knowledge
Tacit knowledge creation starts at the level of
individuals, and then gets taken up by the
environment.
Codified knowledge often exists in environment,
and then works its way back to individuals
16. www.mesopartner.com 16
Conclusion: Innovation
Purposefully expanding, increasing,
(re)combining knowledge is central to innovation.
This is can be done by tinkering, deduction and
collaborating with others that have different
knowledge
