Globalisation and the Philippines

Many years ago, I was a director of a business radio network in the USA. In those days I was based in the UK and used frequently to hop over to Colorado, New York and Chicago to do my inputs for development of the business of the network. The network was one of several entrepreneurial businesses that we used to advise. Since then I have rather lost touch with the USA and its business culture.

Recently, I was again reminded of the US business culture through being made aware of a couple of entrepreneurial startups, 35 and 90 years ago, respectively, which were successful and which have grown in size with the older one—a construction company now employing over 20,000 people and having an annual turnover of US$4 billion.
