The UTIP project should be highly commended for making this data accessible online at no cost. At a glance, it appears that when FDI inflows increase, inequality decreases in Malaysia.Economists claim that FDI is both good and bad for income inequality, depending on the type of FDI that a nation attracts. FDI improves income inequality if much of the flows create employment for the masses, especially the low-skilled, thus boosting their income.FDI tends to worsen inequality when it flows into industries that are

We take so much for granted in this world. We expect everything we buy to work perfectly and when it doesn't, we throw a tantrum. Well, can you imagine what the programmer who creates your medical billing software feels like when he fixes one bug and then another one pops up? What follows is a true story, which just goes to prove that the truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction.A medical billing software company was creating a new software package to bill UB-92 claims. Up until this point in time, they had onl
Plain and simple!
Think about it...
Regardless of what kind of business it is, regardless of whether it's selling a product or a service, regardless of whether it's doing business online or offline, if a business isn't making a profit it doesn't have any reason to exist, does it?
However...
Profit alone isn't enough.
*How* a profit is made has far more to do with the ultimate success or failure of a business than the profit itself.
You see...
In order for a business to make a profit, it must have sales. It might be sales of a product or it might be sales of a service. Either way, a business must have sales in order to make a profit.
And...
In order for a business to have sales, it must have customers - people who are willing to exchange their money for the business' product or service.
So...
Building a *highly* profitable business really boils down to getting and, more importantly, keeping customers... lots of them!
Now...
Here's the secret to getting and keeping customers, and thus the secret to building a *highly* profitable business...
In his classic masterpiece, "The Science of Getting Rich", Wallace D. Wattles wrote:
"... you do not have to get something for nothing, but can give to every man more than you take from him."
The key word here is *more*.
He continued...
"You cannot give every man more in cash market value than you take from him, but you can give him more in use value than the cash value of the thing you take from him."
"The paper, ink, and other material in this book may not be worth the money you pay for it; but if the ideas suggested by it bring you thousands of dollars, you have not been wronged by those who sold it to you; they have given you a great use value for a small cash value."
On the other hand...
Wallace D. Wattles continued...
"Let us suppose that I own a picture by one of the great artists, which, in any civilized community, is worth thousands of dollars. I take it to Baffin Bay, and by "salesmanship" induce an Eskimo to give a bundle of furs worth $500 for it. I have really wronged him, for he has no use for the picture; it has no use value to him; it will not add to his life."
"But suppose I give him a gun worth $50 for his furs; then he has made a good bargain. He has use for the gun; it will get him many more furs
Digital images stored on computer servers is currently the low-cost solution for storing documents. However, that has not always been the case. For decades, microfilm was the storage media of choice. Today many companies still have large libraries of microfilm.Over the years, many different types of microfilm have been used to store records.- Roll Film - Documents are stored on 16 mm rolls.- Microfiche - 7 rows of 14 images per sheet of film about 4 by 6 inches.- Jacket microfiche

Does your organization have a clear purpose? Do the people you serve see you as important to their business or to their lives? Does every customer and every employee clearly understand your purpose? The purpose of an organization is clarified in the mission, vision, and operating principles. I call this grouping the core message of an organization. If this core message isn't clarified and deeply embedded, then it is likely people in your organization are operating on their own. This is a recipe for conflict, confusion, and c

Have you ever thought about how your retail organization handles the distribution and record keeping for its mechanical keys? If you have, what did you conclude? That the current system is a cornerstone of your security program or a liability? If you’re like most, you might have reached the decision that it was just too stressful to think about and simply stopped thinking about it.Whether you have hundreds or thousands of stores – the issue of key control MUST be addressed or it will likely impair the effectiveness

So much has been written and said about the current prospects for the investment property market in Bulgaria now that the nation has joined the European Union; opinion ranges from those who believe the hike in property prices prior to EU accession represented the majority of the positive adjustment due in Bulgaria, to those who are certain that property prices could now mirror those of other recent EU entrants where prices doubled following accession.Some emerging hotspots are Veliko Tarnovo, which is a stunningly beau
"But suppose I give him a gun worth $50 for his furs; then he has made a good bargain. He has use for the gun; it will get him many more furs and much food; it will add to his life in every way; it will make him rich."
Therein lies the secret to getting and keeping customers, and thus the secret to building a *highly* profitable business...
Give every person with whom you deal more in use value than you take from them in cash value.
By giving every person with whom you deal *more* in use value than you take from them in cash value, you're *adding* to the life of the world with every business transaction, rather than taking away from the life of the world with every business transaction, and thus putting yourself in the way of increase.
Later in "The Science of Getting Rich", Wallace D. Wattles had this to say on the subject:
"You must so impress others that they will feel that in associating with you they will get increase for themselves. See that you give them a use value greater than the cash value you are taking from them."
"Take an honest pride in doing this, and let everybody know it; and you will have no lack of customers. People will go where they are given increase; and the Supreme, which desires increase in all, and which knows all, will move toward you men and women who have never heard of you. Your business will increase rapidly, and you will be surprised at the unexpected benefits which will come to you. You will be able from day to day to make larger combinations, secure greater advantages, and to go on into a more congenial vocation if you desire to do so."
Giving more in use value than you receive in cash value is the single, most important concept you could possibly apply to your business...
It's *the* secret to building a *highly* profitable business... one that'll last!
