@Publico, Vasco Pulido Valente e a facilidade de compreensão da Face Oculta

 

O Estado absorve mais de 50 por cento do PIB.

O Estado autoriza e proíbe,

compra, vende, contrata. E com

essa intervenção beneficia quem

protege e paga fielmente a quem o

protegeu. O que sempre sucedeu

e continua a suceder. O dr. Soares

não se enganou: o problema da

Face Oculta é fácil de compreender,

simples, trivial e caseiro.

 

Vasco Pulido Valente, Público

We are now in the paradoxical situation where in developed countries 2 to 4 percent of the population feed the whole population, while in developing countries 60 to 80 percent of the population is not able to do so.
FAO Director-General Jacques Diouf, via reuters.com

Adam Hartung at Forbes: Why The Pursuit Of Innovation Usually Fails

Cutting costs faster than revenues decline is no prescription for long-term success. It is, rather, as Gary Hamel, the author of The Future of Management, puts it, "management inertia." Businesses are on a track that is easy to follow but ultimately self-destructive.

The answer seems to be innovation. Yet few businesses are any good at innovation. For all their brainstorming exercises and "open innovation" programs, they mostly just come up with reformulations of existing products, new pricing plans and basic updates--the same old things just a little cheaper, faster or better.
