Hmm…would you wanna advertise for your rival on your website? Btw, these corporate website owners are the advertisers themselves. They would rather plaster up the whole webpage with their brand/products than advertise:

In the discussion, I contributed that the main reason you don’t see all corporate websites have ads is because they’d like to keep their professionalism. However, this is only a personal assumption and not from the words of the corporate website owner themselves.

One of us still insisted that if the ads could bring in a revenue of RM10,000 a year then won’t the corporate website owners be interested in putting ads on their website. As much as I’d agree with the greed of the common human being, there still are the principles and practices of professionalism in a person.

Hmm….think somebody needs to read up more on Globalisation:

Globalisation is a new form of imperliasism. It is Americanisation.

Gone are the bad old days of seniority-based and lifetime employment, close relationships between companies and their distributors, economic development policies for rural areas, a social net for the poor and an a strong middle class.

Welcome to the real world, a new age of cowboy global capitalism. Even in egalitarian Japan, reform means globalisation which means Americanisation of the economy and society.

If you think that merely following the capitalistic ways of the United States is a sure way to success, think again.

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times.

It’s not that simple. Read Thomas Friedman’s ‘Lexus and the Olive Tree’ for better insight.

On the contrary, Japan was the pioneer of the Just In Time Production methods which transformed almost everything about manufacturing and now, Toyota will soon overtake GM as the largest auto manufacturer in the world.

And the real buzzword now is “China”. What caused the European bra wars? What’s causing the huge trade deficit over in the US? And more…

Even the one Osama bin Laden caused so much pain globally through terrorism! What a pain having to go through longer airport checks…additional visas needed, etc. Now that is globalisation!
