Scare Tactics Over Foreign Drugs
By GABRIEL LEVITTMARCH 24, 2014
ABOUT five million Americans buy medication internationally each year because of high costs in the United States. These drugs are considered “foreign unapproved drugs” by the Food and Drug Administration, and federal law makes it illegal to buy them. Generally, though, purchases go through without a hitch. Only rarely do customs agents seize an order. Read more of this post

Economic ties bind Germany, Korea
OPINION
Mar 25,2014
For both Korea and Germany, exports are crucial as a means to foster economic growth as well as employment, given the two countries’ industry structures.
Thus, it is good to see that trade ties between them have turned out to be resilient even in the face of economic difficulties. Korea’s trade relationship with Germany has been affected less by the last economic downturn than that of most other European countries. This is obvious when looking at the data for 2013.

The third sector of Chinese industry
Mar 25,2014
Chinese industries are generally divided into state-owned and private sectors. Core businesses are dominated by state-run giants, and small and midsize private companies focus on the manufacturing, processing and service industries. Lately, a new industrial ecosystem that transcends the traditional boundary is emerging in China. The mobile and Internet field is referred to as “the third sector.” Koreans pay special attention to the third sector as it directly relates to us in many ways. Read more of this post

Time to deep six ActiveX
Mar 24,2014
Authentication certificates for online trading were battered at a rare public forum Thursday at the Blue House presided over by President Park Geun-hye. Lee Seoung-cheol, deputy chairman of the Federation of Korean Industries, called the compulsory application of ActiveX – Microsoft’s security software needed for online transactions – a typical example of “Galapagos regulations.” Park stepped into the discussion and called for a drastic resolution of the software’s cumbersome requirements that make it difficult even for Chinese TV fans to buy the coat a famous Korean actress wore in the popular drama “My Love From the Star.” Read more of this post

Olam, Temasek and a huge pile of debt

* The author blogs at http://andyxianwong.wordpress.com
Temasek’s offer to buy out Olam in a S$2.53 billion deal comes as the commodity trader continues to pile on debt. While Olam’s politically well-connected management and shareholders may appreciate the sovereign wealth fund’s backing, this is a deal which ticks all the wrong boxes for Singapore.

Over the past year, cheap, fast-fashion brands such as Zara and H&M have swept through the Chinese mainland market, the Chinese-language Time Weekly reports.

In a recent Time Magazine article, the president of Bard College, Leon Botstein, joined a chorus of criticism of the SAT, going so far as to call it “part hoax and part fraud.” Criticism is coming fast and furious because the SAT has just unveiled a new, improved product to try to fend off a trend among competitive colleges to downplay the role of the SAT, and even to eliminate its use entirely. (The not-for-profit status of the College Board, which produces the SAT, does not put the company beyond reacting to a profit motive; not-for-profit does not exactly mean you don’t get benefits from pulling in more revenue).

MY son Chris is on a business trip in India this week, and his choice of how he got there from his home in Tucson underscores a reality in air service.

Earlier this month, Coca-Cola sent out its annual report and proxy statement to shareholders.

What the Wolves of Wall Street can teach us about risk
Simplifying the financial system is the only durable way to minimise risk
“What a commentary on the state of twentieth-century capitalism,” mused “motivational speaker” Jordan Belfort as he looked back on his life of fraud, sex, and drugs. As head of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont, he fleeced investors of hundreds of millions of dollars in the early 1990’s. I saw Martin Scorsese’s film The Wolf of Wall Street and was sufficiently intrigued to read Belfort’s memoir, on which the screenplay is based. I learned quite a lot. Read more of this post
