I looked to the National Bureau of Economic Research, who recently published Globalization and Poverty. Here’s what I found out:
Some studies show that globalization has been associated with rising inequality, because the poor do not always share in the gains from trade. An example of this is the coffee trade. Coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world, yet most of its growers only make 10% of what it eventually sells for. However, when farmers have access to credit, technical know-how, and social safety nets such as income support, trade can benefit the world’s poor.
The book argues that export growth and incoming foreign investment have proven to reduce poverty. But, at the same time, trade and foreign investment alone are not enough to alleviate poverty. Increasing access to education and credit, as well as improved infrastructure, are necessary in order to see real progress. Echoing that idea, Harrison concludes that globalization can benefit people living in extreme poverty, but only if the appropriate complementary policies and institutions are in place.
When a city becomes too crowded, it can’t provide the resources that the individuals living there need. I didn’t really understand what you were saying, but hope this helps!
Bottlenecks: points where tasks accumulate and the process flow is slowed. These should be analyzed and the problem solved. Read more about bottlenecks.
Points of contact with the customer: should always be fully satisfying experiences. Monitor them, as these are the times when the customer “judges” the company.
Determine the value - adding activities: these should be improved the most. Those that do not add value should be stopped.
Low tides are also called low water.
Las mareas bajas también se llaman bajo nivel de agua.
Hope this helps!
