    Once upon a time, the world was spiky. Opportunities were unequal across countries, information was often walled and new economies were unheard of. But around the mid 990s, things started changing. Wealth began to spread, opening up fresh markets. A baby-boomer generation aged in developed countries while a Gen-Y exploded in emerging ones, rebalancing the workforce and propelling new economies. Technology became ubiquitous, connecting people and information. Together, these disruptive forces rearranged and leveled the global business-scape. Braving the waves of complex regulations and changing customer expectations, a new breed of entrepreneurs arrived to claim the unexplored land. They found a flat world. We live in exciting times.

  • BUILDING a STRONGER CANADA-ASIA RELATIONSHIP THROUGH TWO-WAY EDUCATIONAL LINKS by Dominic Barton
    RESEARCH REPORTS www.asiapacific.ca MARCH 19, 2014 ©iStockphoto.com/Rawpixel BUILDING A STRONGER CANADA-ASIA RELATIONSHIP THROUGH TWO-WAY EDUCATIONAL LINKS by Dominic Barton About The Author Dominic Barton is the Global Managing Director of McKinsey & Company. In his 25 years with the firm, Dominic has advised clients in a range of industries – including banking, consumer goods, high tech and industrial – but his core area of work is in financial sector development and reform. Prior to his current role, Dominic was McKinsey’s Chairman of Asia from 2004-2009, based in Shanghai, and he led McKinsey’s office in Korea from 2000-2004. To find out more visit:www.asiapacific.ca 1 www.asiapacific.ca Research Report BUILDING A STRONGER CANADA-ASIA RELATIONSHIP THROUGH TWO-WAY EDUCATIONAL LINKS Although many of Canada’s leaders and high-profile reports have emphasized the importance of international education to Canada’s future, action to date has been modest and sporadic. On the ‘inbound’ side, which focuses on attracting students from other countries to study in Canada, we face intensifying competition. International students are highly coveted for their financial contributions to the host economies, their potential to become skilled workers after graduation and their ability to serve as ambassadors in building closer relationships with Asian nations. To merely stay competitive, Canada needs to significantly boost funding and promotion of its education offerings. On the ‘outbound’ side, which focuses on sending more Canadians to Asia, there is an even wider gap between what Canada is and should be doing, especially in comparison with Australia, New Zealand, the U.S.

  • Protecting Pennsylvania's Investments
    September 30, 2012 Annual Report of Activities Pursuant to Act 44 of 2010 September 30, 2012 September 30, 2012 The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has enacted legislation (Act 44 of 2010) requiring public funds to divest from companies doing business in Iran and/or Sudan that meet certain thresholds of activity. Additionally, Act 44 prohibits Pennsylvania’s public funds from purchasing securities of a company once it appears on scrutinized business activities lists, regardless of whether the funds already have direct holdings in such company. Act 44 requires that the public funds each year assemble and provide a report to the Governor, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each member of the boards of the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement System, the State Employees’ Retirement System, and the Public School Employees’ Retirement System. Accordingly, we have prepared this report on the activities our funds have undertaken to comply with the requirements of Act 44 during the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. This report includes: The most recent scrutinized companies lists (Sudan and Iran). A summary of correspondence with scrutinized companies. All investments sold, redeemed, divested or withdrawn in compliance with Act 44, the costs and expenses of such transfers, and a determination of net gain or loss on account of such transactions incurred in compliance with the Act. A list of publicly traded securities held by the public funds.
