- Scalable Collaboration: Lessons From China: Li & Fung
“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
Nobel laureate Max Planck
In the 1970s, when it was realized that Japanese car manufacturers were developing new cars more quickly, and the cars were cheaper and more reliable than cars from Detroit’s Big Three, there was an outcry. Complaints of unfair competition, dumping, cheap labor and currency manipulation were rampant. Eventually, a huge collaborative study was undertaken by the auto industry to find out the truth. Lo and behold, it was discovered that what Toyota and Honda had developed a better way to manage, as described in The Machine That Changed the World(Harper Perennial, 1991) 。。u0026quot;新たな科学的真実は、その相手を説得し、それらが光を参照してください、ではなく、その反対者が最終的に死ぬので、することによって勝利をせず、新世代はそれに精通している育つ
- Nobel Prize Brings Tax Bill (Oh, And Accolades)
Each Nobel laureate receives a diploma, a gold medal and 10 million Swedish kronor ($1.5 million, 1.0 million Euros), but that's just the icing on the cake. Plainly, the prestigious prize is worth far more than the purse. Inevitably, the international acclaim brings much more to the recipient---and to his or her employer. それぞれのノーベル賞受賞者には卒業証書、金メダルと10万スウェーデンクローナ（$ 150万100万ユーロ）を受け取り、それはちょうどケーキの上のアイシングです

- Victory for Burma reformers over dam project
Work on £2.3bn Myitsone dam halted after Burma's president says he has to 'act according to the desire of the people'Burma will suspend a massive Chinese hydropower project on the Irrawaddy river after the country's president joined a chorus of concerns raised by environmentalists, democracy activists and tribal militias.The proposed halting of the $3.6bn (£2.3bn) Myitsone dam is a remarkable step for a government that has long ruled by military fiat, but appears this time to have put public and ecological concerns ahead of economic priorities and the interests of its powerful neighbour.In a rare concession to opposition groups, President Thein Sein informed parliament on Friday that construction of the 3,600MW project on Burma's most important river should be in halted because it was against the will of the people.The decision will be seen as a victory for Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of Burma's pro-democracy opposition. In August, the Nobel laureate called for the plan to be reassessed and greater efforts be made to protect the Irrawaddy and the interests of people who would be affected.Chief among them are the residents of the Kachin region, which would have been flooded by a reservoir the size of New York City, forcing the displacement of 10,000 people and submerging important cultural sites.Earlier this year, the Kachin Independence Organisation broke a 17-year-ceasefire after warning that it would fight to block the project.Environmental groups warned that the dam, which was to be built by the China Gezhouba Group on the confluence of the Mali and N'Mai, would inundate one of the world's biodiversity hotspots and pose a major risk in the event of an earthquake.The Burma Rivers Network, an NGO which represents communities along the river, released what it says is a 国の大統領は環境保護が提起した懸念のコーラスに参加した後、ビルマの大統領がpeople。。u0026#39;Burmaはイラワジ川沿いに大規模な中国の水力発電プロジェクトを中断されるの欲望にしたがって。。u0026quot;行動すると言っているの後で停止円23億Myitsoneダムに取り組む、民主主義の活動家や部族militias.Theは$ 3.6bnの停止を提案（£ 23億）Myitsoneのダムは、長い軍事布告により支配された政府のための顕著なステップですが、今回は先に経済的な優先事項の公開と生態系への懸念を入れているように見えるそれはpeople.Theの意思に反していたため、その強力なneighbour.In反対のグループにまれな譲歩の利益は、社長テインセインは、ビルマで最も重要な川で3600 MWのプロジェクトの建設は停止にあるべきことを明らかに議会を通知決定は、アウンサンスーチー、ビルマの民主化反対のリーダーのための勝利として認識されます

- Angela Saini | India is an emerging geek superpower
A scientific revolution sweeping India will soon place it firmly within the major world economiesIn the humid, palm-fringed surrounds of the annual Indian Science Congress in Kerala, the country's top researchers and politicians had come together to discuss what they could do to make their nation more powerful in science and technology. The congress was on a scale unimaginable anywhere else in the world – thousands crowded into huge white tents to hear lectures by physicists and rocket scientists, while wide-eyed schoolchildren posed for photographs with Nobel prize winners. Enthusiasm wasn't even weakened by the midday heat, which caused some visitors to faint while queueing for a nuclear power and space exhibition.It was there last year that the prime minister, Manmohan Singh, made clear India's big plan for its technological future: There's no doubt about it: the country is furiously pursuing development through science and technology. Tthe aim is to more than double investment in research and development, which could put it in the same league as Japan and the US.Most industrialised countries spend around 2% of GDP on research and development. Right now, India spends 0.8%, placing it alongside South Africa and Brazil. By next year it hopes to ramp this up to 1.2%, and in the longer term is determined to reach 2% – well ahead of China, on 1.5%. The UK, which spends around 1.8%, is freezing its science budget in cash terms for the next four years (which means a fall in real terms). So India's trajectory could eventually see it outpace Britain – once the world's science powerhouse. And it's a trajectory reflected in the rise of the world's 11th largest economy, with a GDP growth rate of around 9% – putting India hot on the heels of Russia and Canada, and already wealthi 科学革命は、抜本的なインドすぐケララ州で毎年インド科学会議の湿潤、椰子の。縁周囲には、国のトップの研究者や政治家は、彼らが自分たちの国を作る何ができるかを議論するために一緒に来ていた、世界の主要なeconomiesIn以内にしっかりと配置されますさらに、科学技術の強力な

- Letter: Western democracy doesn't suit Egypt
Leave Egypt alone, pleads Simon Jenkins (Comment, 2 February). We should not only avoid any military aid/intervention, however; we should also stop preaching.Twenty-five years ago, the good news was from Russia. Unfortunately, the forces of reform quickly split into two, and the debate descended into a clash between two Nobel laureates, Gorbachev and Sakharov – a battle which, from the longer-term perspective, both lost.Why, then, this confrontation? To a large extent, it was because, both in London and Washington, we blundered, we gave the wrong advice. So the Russians chose to use our western interpretation of democracy. It was thus all win-or-lose in a single-preference electoral system; and win-or-lose again in an even more Orwellian decision-making process: the simple, for-or-against, majority vote.So back to Egypt. Many observers fear a takeover by one or other extremist group. The danger, therefore, is that, we might blunder again, and that Cairo might adopt an adversarial democratic structure which would allow for such an outcome.The wiser approach would be for the Egyptians to ignore any majoritarian model and to opt, instead, for a government of national unity. Decisions could then be based not on the majority's more preferred policy from a choice of two options but, from a much wider selection, on the most popular option of every member in parliament. In a modern, plural society, concepts like majority rule and minority veto should really be obsolescent.Peter Emerson Director, The de Borda InstituteEgyptHosni MubarakForeign policyguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

Portuguese President Anibal Cavaco Silva said on Monday that Portugal will not be forced to drop the euro, the European single currency.

- Politics, as much as economics, is behind Greece's current troubles | Kevin Featherstone
If the country is to recover, it needs EU support to overcome systemic problems and realise necessary reformsGreece has presented the eurozone with its biggest challenge since the global economic crisis erupted. The issues arising from the high levels of government borrowing and debt in Athens pose delicate problems for the European Central Bank and EU governments. Last week, Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel prize winner for economics, weighed in to urge Europe to show solidarity with Greece.The signals given by EU leaders thus far have been uncertain, putting the pressure on Greece to be bold in its domestic reforms. In the next two weeks, the EU commission and EU finance ministers (ECOFIN) will decide whether the country is doing enough to avoid Armageddon. Officials are currently preparing their assessments and by February 16 ECOFIN will decide whether to escalate the sanctions on Athens for running an excessive deficit.In the land that gave us the very notion of politics, it is crucial for such assessments to recognise that it is politics, more than economics, that will determine Greece's longer-term fate. A euro-exit would be so nightmarish that it is almost unthinkable that Athens would not do whatever is necessary to avoid it, and this is what the Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou has promised. Left outside the EU club with its own currency, the costs of recovery would be truly horrendous. Moreover, the eurozone must avoid the risk of creating a domino effect with perhaps Spain and Ireland being pressed by the markets to follow.The more uncertain question is whether Athens can put its house in order and avoid a recurrence of this crisis. And this is where politics comes in. There are two major hurdles for the Socialist government in Athens to surmount. One concer 場合は、国を回復する場合は、EUの制度の問題や実現に必要なreformsGreece克服するために世界的な経済危機以来、最大の課題とユーロを提示した支援を必要と噴出した
