Third world slumming for IBM fast trackers

Comments

Very nice!

I'm sure a management professor at Columbia Business School would not really have an idea about what he is saying...
But what I am really wondering is if the author has any decency and manners, if not some knowledge as well, when calling the countries mentioned in her article "third world slums" and "far-away hellholes".
The obvious bias and disinformation in regards to other cultures and the uncalled-for negative tone for an otherwise good idea, not to mention the fact that some of these "third-world countries" are part of the EU makes this piece of "journalism" quite a dull reading and a waste of time.
Thank you for that.

Starbucks...

Hey lay off saying no Starbucks! Of the countries listed Turkey has quite a few Starbucks! Only two of the countries don't, Ghana, which Starbucks has stated they plan to invest in Starbucks there, and Tanzania, which from what I know Starbucks doesn't have any stands there but gets it's beans from.

I don't agree with the geographical categorize in this article

From when Romania and imiplicit E.U. is "the third world"? Is true, not all parts of E.U. are in the top, but your categorize isn't wise and is offender.
