The Need for Research in Business School

Source: http://www.mb.com.ph/BSNS20080602126271.html

Well now they understand how to be world class standard. For me it's a slightly bit late for this but as long as you keep trying to achieve who cares right? This is what's pretty much going on with the schools here. They're trying to achieve more and more to be schools capable of world class standard and I commend them for that. It's good that schools strive to be better and the filipino schools here are setting a good example for the developing countries. The only problem I see right now is the "brain drain" concept. Where people here go abroad and try to earn more money and pretty much just leave the country. Without those people which are I mean good enough to go abroad but we need those people to help us revolutionize a stronger upbringing of being world class standard. And of course, without research what can you truly know? If the teachers in class aren't updated, then in the real world we'll be pretty much doomed! So it is important to get enough research for the common good, and to help all of us with business to try to get on top of the business game. I believe that we need to find a way to support research at a higher level and try to be what we dream of being world class standard =)

Please comment everyone! It'll be highly appreciated! ^_^;;

Mobile phone users top 3.3 B by end-2007

Wow! There's such a great BOOM for us mobile phone users. 3.3 Billion is just about half the population of the whole world! Man, that's such a eye opener! It's great that many people are having cell phones and being able to communicate. And the boom has been happening in developing countries especially a big rise in Africa where it has had a growth of 39 percent annually from 2005-2007. Whoa! And we thought they weren't up to date hehe. More and more people are getting cell phones even when they lack much of an internet connection or high speed internet. The governments in these low income countries should be a bigger help and provide affordable broadband internet so many people can access all the luxuries of having cell phone applications and getting information through the world wide web. We all have the right to be updated and we should. If only our government can be as supporting as the other developing countries, we might just be much more ahead of the pack.
