There are soooo many things to take into account that its simpler to go with the flow and go where everyone else is. It takes a lot to change from say: China, India to Mexico... the conditions could/might be better but everyone will doubt it, at least at first.

The same thing applies to many of us who thought that Africa is a country. The shit you are talking about is not just the examples you have sited but the same pressure and concern runs through the heart of multi-Millions of people across the globe

Hi Porchale unfortunately the media can influence on people's mind more than we can imagine, yesterday i had a dinner with the secretary of tourism and he's point of view is the economy is affected, it's always feasible to show the difference between reality and perception when people is willing to travel and see it with their own eyes

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.

Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
