I used to work for a multi national American company that had been enjoying Fortune 50, 100 and 500 status. It was the utter personification of American technological prowess. All other competitor brands were always on the look out to note what this Master Company was up to, every other company would blindly follow its marketing strategies. And all the competitors would pursue whatever this company would introduce in the global market with certitude. This company was the unsinkabale ship. However, in the last ten years this company has suffered innumerous losses sold more than half of its assets, closed down its manufacturing concerns in Canada and Australia and has deminished in terms of business to the extent that it is no where even near Furune 1000 if there was ever such a rating. The reason was not financial weakness, nor was some other fathomable disaster. The downfall of this company was because of two simple facts. COMPLACENCY & BAD MANAGEMENT. These two cancers ******* the structure of the company was witnessed and noticed by all personel from the top management in New York to the 3rd world corporate office like Pakistan branch. Not since the top management were busy availing fat saleris and planning theirsummer vacations, no body was bothered. the lower echolon staff were just left frustated and then when downsizing became thecompnay's salvagepolicy, 1000s were sacked in a single day!
Bottom Line, Pakistan is not a poor country, on the contrary it is probably one of the RICHEST countries of the world. With its huge mineral resources, ideal 4 climates and terrain and untapped man power, it is a gross understatement that Pakistan is poor!
Pakistan is just like this American company, powerful and resourceful and capable of setting trends and calling the shots, however, it is very badly managed.... the top management is busy merrymaking while the proleterians and middle income class are silent spectators, waiting to be sacked!!
