Sugarcane industry, today dominates the rural economy of Fiji and employs a large number of rural population. The first sugar, introduced by the European colonists, was produced in Fiji in 1862 around the flatland areas near Suva (now the capital city of the country) due to the availability of fertile alluvial soils (FSC 2014).

Amory Lovins’ Logic in Natural Capitalism In the first chapter of Natural Capitalism, author Amory Lovins proposes a new method of capitalism that recognizes the importance of natural and human capital in the industrial system. Conventional capitalism places value only on capital that yields financial gain, and ignores the human and natural parts of the equation. Lovins points to this as the reason for many of the environmental, social, and economic problems on our planet today. He

paper examines the IPO of Bharti Infratel Ltd., one of the top ten IPOs by amount of capital raised in Indian history. The IPO is also interesting to study as Bharti Infratel is one of the first telecom tower and infrastructure provider companies in India and GTL Ltd. is the only other Indian company in this sector to have gone public till date. The scope of the paper is to understand the rationale behind raising capital with respect to internal factors as well as industry specific factors. Further, a

Unusually, I was a late subscriber to the idea of observing deeply into the capital 's wonders; London is possibly the most eclectic megalopolis of the West, it stirs ambition like no other place, in some professional sectors it 's like swimming against the tide if you 're not registered in London. Realistically for me, it probably was six years ago, when I took note of what 'London urbanity ' offers, before then, I was probably too busy, fatigued and self-orientated to allow London a laborious

both physical and human capital. In or case we shall consider human capital. Human capital, according to Adam Smith refers to the acquired and useful abilities of all the inhabitants or members of the society.

(1989; p. 27). As a result, foreign companies unable to manufacture in Japan had to license their technology to Japanese companies. (Okimoto (1989; p. 27). MITI was a member of the Japanese Foreign Capital Negotiation Commission. Foreign investors had to get permission from this commission. Debt-type capital inflows and license agreements were allowed more easily than direct investments.

It is the year 2513, fifty years after we have evolved into a dystopian land. There are no longer countries or states, only the capital and other land. The capital is based on what used to be known as the European continent. Years ago, in the times the superiors loathe, the worlds’ population was focused primarily on beauty. No one ever paid attention to what they should have, only on appearance. But fifty years ago, the superiors came into action. They completely overruled everyone, gaining much

have the capital or support to make these provisions, and private actors will often not do so either because of the free rider problem inherent in such public goods. Foreign aid could fill this gap (Selaya and Sunesen 2012). However, it is important to determine which type of aid will be most effective in reaching this goal. In this paper, foreign aid refers to official development assistance (ODA), which is where the aid has concessional terms and the grant component is at least twenty-five percent

Some responses were validated while others rebutted his theory. Firstly, the positive response will be discussed before focusing on the criticisms of Porter’s theory. Oz (2002) implemented Porter’s Diamond model to analyse the competitive advantage of five Turkish industries and the outcome was favourable and thus validated Porter’s theory. For example, the uncompetitive Turkish automobile industry resulted in uncompetitive companies, while the presence of demanding buyers and hence intense local rivalry
