SUMMER BOSS ARTICLE The real new economy Jan 28 Diana Farrell Harvard Business Review As the bubble of the new economy inflated, many people felt that information technology, and the internet in particular, would change everything. Today, with the technology sector in shreds, more than a few believe that IT changed scarcely anything at all. The truth lies somewhere in between. What became of all the innovation we thought we were seeing? What actually happened to productivity growth? What effect did IT really have on companies and their ability to compete? What can managers learn from it all? McKinsey Global Institute has studied labour productivity in the United States, France and Germany and its connection to corporate IT spending and use. We conducted in-depth case studies of 20 industries, eight in the US and six each in Germany and France. We found that a new economy did come into being in the 1990s but that it is very different from the one promoted at the time. Rather than springing from the internet, it emerged from intensifying business competition and a resulting surge in managerial innovation. IT's role in the new business world is more complicated than has been assumed. By uncovering the true drivers of corporate success today, our research provides a clearer understanding of the recent upheavals in business and points the way to a more effective deployment of corporate IT investments and assets.

Teague is based in Adelaide, South Australia and employs eight full time employees. As the leader in the seed and grain broking business, Director, Tim Teague, believed that e-commerce could provide a means for maintaining its number one position in the market. Whilst the trading and services functions of the business were well established, Tim believed greater attention was required in the area of customer service. In particular, Teague wanted to emphasise a customer centric approach to doing business and sought to implement a Customer Relationship Management system. To this end, the company set up several initiatives including online customer accounts and Short Message Service (SMS) information services. In addition to using email for communicating with customers and suppliers, Teague set up a website providing customers with a 24 hour information channel. The website provides data and statistics on commodity trades as well as weather and currency exchange data. The Internet is also used to conduct research and administrative functions such as online banking and payroll. Remote access to the company network via the Internet allows Tim to work from home.

Like all activists, he is someone like you and me, with all the personal problems that come with following a calling to bring about change or to help your fellows. We like to think that our trouble are not our own doing, that there might be some kind of concerted action to keep things like they are.

About Us Publications Fact Sheets Australia and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Some Important Facts OVERVIEW The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (HKSAR) is firmly committed to an open market policy. This policy applies to all trade, as well as to all investments in the HKSAR. Hong Kong has become a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China since 1 July 1997. The "One Country, Two Systems" principle provides the HKSAR with a high degree of autonomy in economic, trade, financial and monetary matters. This is guaranteed by the Basic Law, the mini-constitution of the HKSAR, which ensures that the important elements making Hong Kong a regional business and financial centre will extend well beyond 1997, including continuation of capitalist economic and trade systems, free movement of goods and capital, and status as a free port and separate customs territory. Export quotas, tariff preferences and other similar arrangements obtained by the HKSAR will be enjoyed exclusively by the HKSAR. The Basic Law also provides that the HKSAR may participate in relevant international organizations and international trade agreements under the name "Hong Kong, China". In 1986, Hong Kong became a separate contracting party to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Upon the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 1 January 1995, Hong Kong became one of its founding members. Hong Kong also became a member of the Customs Cooperation Council (subsequently renamed as the World Customs Organization) in 1987 and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in 1991. The status of the HKSAR in these and other international organizations remains unchanged except that our participation is now under the name "Hong Kong, China".

In modern Thailand the military still makes its presence felt in the civil life of the country. It still retains ownership of over 200 radio channels, which is in violation of the 1997 Constitution and many retired military officers permeate the civil service and the Thai Parliament. In the banking sector, one can still find the Thai Military Bank (TMB). The bank was established in 1957 to manage the funds of servicemen and its shareholders included 4,982 military personnel. The bank accepted deposits only from members of the Thai military until 1963. The Royal Thai army owns 15 percent of the bank and the Royal Navy owns 2.2 percent.

Speeches Media Interviews Media Releases Broadcast ... Email News 17 May 1999 TRANSCRIPT OF THE PRIME MINISTER THE HON JOHN HOWARD MP HILTON HOTEL, SYDNEY Well, thank you very much, Maxine. To Graham Wallace, Chris Anderson, Peter Charlton, ladies and gentlemen. And so it came to be that as a result of that set of circumstances and that chain of events Australia developed through the 1980s and into the 1990s one of the most modern, progressive and outward looking banking and financial systems in the world. The Australian approach was seen as something of a model and in a number of areas we trail blazed for other countries which in other areas it had been our custom to follow. And in coming to office in 1996, my Treasurer, Peter Costello, established the Wallis Inquiry which conducted something of a stocktake of what had happened post-Campbell and recommended a number of other very significant changes. And it is a source of strength, it is a source of reassurance and what a few years ago was perhaps seen as stodgy is now seen as one of the reasons that makes Australia an extremely attractive place in which to invest.

40. Grameen Bank, Bangladesh a commune or cooperative in a socialist/communist economy. make the bank known to the australian public, media does not engage in any banking business except http://www.gdrc.org/icm/grameen-supportgrp.html

Grameen Bank - Banking on the Poor Summary Paper from the Grameen Support Group, Australia The opinions expressed in this Summary Paper are not necessarily those of the Grameen Bank Sophia Khatoon, a 22 years old skilled furniture-maker in the tiny village of Jobra in Bangladesh, worked 7 long days a week, looked twice her age, and lived in abject poverty. She made stools and chairs out of bamboo, which she had to sell to a money-lender who provided the credit to buy the raw material. The price she received barely covered the costs. Dr. Yunus, Professor of Economics at the University in the Southern port city of Chittagong who later founded the Grameen Bank - calculated that effectively Sophia was paying interest at the rate of 10% a day, more than 3,000% a year. Yunus could not reconcile the fact that a woman with such skill who worked so hard, produced such beautiful bamboo furniture and created wealth at such high rate was earning so little. In fact the poor all over the world are trapped in such exploitation. While they work extremely hard and create enormous wealth, the middle-men, money-lenders and employers keep the fruits of their labour. The poor have no access to "institutional credit", which you and I have, because they can not provide a collateral. The system keeps them firmly trapped in debt, poverty and exploitation. With a loan of 50 taka (a few dollars), it took Sophia only a few months to establish her own little self-employment, increase her income seven folds and repay the loan.
