			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "  style="text-align: justify;" ><span title="B"  class="cap" ><span>B</span></span>y taking advantage of technology and the Internet, China has moved from being a third-world country to growing faster than any other modern  economy. In 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) — a significant event because it signaled that China was willing to acknowledge and follow global rules of trade.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" >So, how did China begin growing so fast? It opened the floodgates for offshoring moving manufacturing plants from their home sites (for example, Europe or the United States) and plopping them down, lock, stock, and barrel, in China. Why? Because in China, you can (for now at least) produce products using cheaper labor, lower taxes, lower healthcare costs, lower energy costs, and far-less restrictive environmental regulations. Because China is such an attractive place to offshore, countries are clamoring to jump on the bandwagon and offer similar incentives — countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Brazil, and Mexico.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" >If you’re in business today, you have some important objectives: Figure out what you can outsource to China, what you can do in China via offshoring, and what you can buy from China in terms of low-cost goods and services. In a flat world, you can no longer afford to do business on your own, and you can’t ignore your neighbors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "  style="text-align: justify;" ><span title="T"  class="cap" ><span>T</span></span>he Brunei market is characterized as a consumer market in which almost all commodities are imported from abroad. Brunei’s world merchandise trade in 1999 was negligible in both the Asian and world markets. However, per capita merchandise trade of Brunei at about US$13,500 is high compared to its Asian counterparts, lagging only behind Singapore and Hong Kong (World Trade Organization 2000). The market is definitely small, with 0.34 million consumers, yet it is relatively wealthy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" >Per-unit costs of the products and services available in the market are generally more expensive compared to those of its neighboring countries due to retailers’ markups and the additional costs involved in delivering the final product or service. Furthermore, the domestic market is constrained by the products and services found in the markets of its main importing countries—Singapore and Malaysia.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" >With increased standards of living and better bargaining power, the Brunei consumers are becoming increasingly sophisticated and have greater empowerment in the marketplace. The variety of goods in the domestic market may be limited or not available, but Bruneians can still make purchases abroad, especially in the neighboring ASEAN countries. Consumers in the Brunei market are protected by the Economic Planning Unit, which monitors the prices of the goods and services, and also by the Religious Affairs authorities who ensure that products or services that are to be consumed by the Muslims abide strictly by Islamic regulations and that non-halal products are not made available to them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "  style="text-align: justify;" ><span title="A"  class="cap" ><span>A</span></span>ustralia, with about 19 million people living in an area approximately equal in size to the UnitedStates (minus Alaska), is located between the South Pacific and Indian oceans. The vast majority of Australia’s population can trace their origins to Europe. In the 2001 census, around four and half million Australians were born overseas, and close to three million people spoke a language other than English. In recent times, there has been an increasing proportion of Asian immigration.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" >In 1981, around 50 percent of immigrants were from Europe, and only 2.7 percent were from Asia. By 1991, North Asia accounted for 20 percent of all arrivals compared to 20 percent from Europe (Australian Bureau of Statistics 1981, 1991). By 1999–2000, immigration from Northand Southeast Asia accounted for around 34 percent of all arrivals in Australia (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2003).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" >As will be discussed, the changes in immigration patterns for Australia are significant, because given the low fertility rate (1.75), immigration is primarily responsible for future population growth. Changes in immigration patterns thus imply future changes in preferences and tastes and development of more diverse market niches within the country.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" >There is a small, yet culturally significant, indigenous Aboriginal community representing less than 2 percent of the population. Aboriginal visual and oral culture was included in the opening ceremony of the 2000 Olympics. There is worldwide interest in Aboriginal art, with motifs being used on everything from decorative ties to aircraft flown by the nation’s major airline carrier, Qantas.</p>
