Why mexicans dont drink molson

While such funding by government has been successful in England, France and in other, mostly European countries, the probability of government-funded cultural institutions being well built within budget in this country is not likely. Agricultural Products Marketing Boards Marketing Boards guarantee a comfortable lifestyle for quota holders but capital gains tax discourages the succession of capital from one generation to the next.

Farm production quotas are sold, the intergenerational accumulation of wealth, discouraged, in the long term, to the detriment of the farm community. Australia and New Zealand have eliminated the system by buying out quota holders and eliminating protection for these producers.

In the short term, the farmers suffered, but the elimination of the protective mantle necessitated a more aggressive, creative entrepreneurial approach, ultimately leading to higher income and the development of a lucrative, expanding export market. The type of electoral system is determinant of income distribution. Countries with proportional representation have the lowest income.

We attempt to reconcile irreconcilable differences, disparity, between high and low income, but how do you accumulate adequate pools of money to act as an incentive to business?

There is some social inequality that is deserved and some that is undeserved. How can you replace revenue from income and capital gains taxes? The answer is higher consumer taxes, a more logical, productive source of government revenue. The Market We have been in the longest bull market in history, having started its upward trend in October , but when everybody thinks they missed the market, the market tops out and this is currently beginning to happen.

Cautious managers are taking money off the table, believing that this is a time for preservation of capital. We can expect one more rally creating an opportunity for sale followed by a short sharp shock during October and November of this year, after which the market will continue to rise for the next year and a half to two years.

In the longer term, those less convinced of the virtues of unbridled world competition are concerned about the repeated changes in the historical fortunes of China and reflect on a possible collapse of that economy in the near or mid-term. They also reflect on the possible effect of climate change and the draconian measures that must be introduced to combat it, on the unbridled growth of the world economy, leaving the gap between the wealthy and the impoverished incalculably wider.

Indigenous stories. Mar 28, Poncho rated it liked it. This book was well written but I don't think it gave enough credit to the medium sized companies that do a great job expiring in this coutry.

Molson and other large compnanies may have been a disappointment but a lot of great people are working really hard doing what is suggested in the book. I read this book years ago but recently re-read it.

As a Canadian who works exclusively with Americans, I've often wondered what's in our Canadian kool-aid that makes us collectively less aggressive in business or in fact, all facets of life. The book is a series of vignettes touching on different industries and Canadian business case-studies where the phenomenon of wanting to do business within our borders remains one of the most puzzling, and economically damaging, business decisions. Still I read this book years ago but recently re-read it.

Still relevant a decade later, a great book for all Canadian entrepreneurs to read, and learn from. This is a funny book that explains pitfalls of Canadians doing business in latin America. It a must read for somebody looking to enter the region for business. Nov 12, Susan Chow-Dukhan rated it liked it. Intriguing title for a book. Why should Mexicans and other nationalities be drinking Molson? The two key ingredients in beer is water and barley. Canada has a large repository of fresh water and is a large producer of barley, therefore it would be a normal assumption that Canada would produce a superior beer.

Molson does not have a large share of the international market for the same reasons why other Canadian companies also seem to be unable to conquer the international market; a lack of commitment to foreign investment, assertiveness and cultural awareness.

Canadian businesses have grown weak in seeking out new opportunities, as they've grown accustomed to dealing with our English speaking neighbour, the United States.

There are some success stories, but these are mostly companies started by immigrants, or companies that didn't make it big, until acquired by a foreign owner.

The book provides examples of companies that have tried to expand their market share and identifies the strengths and weaknesses made by management. Of particular interest, are the foreign owned businesses that are mentioned, that many people will assume they know who owns the business, but were sold years ago. Aug 21, Mridul Singhai rated it it was ok Shelves: didn-t-finish. Badly written. With the flashy title, did a good job at attracting me towards it, but I had to keep it down as I simply could not get myself to read it.

Although the title inspired me to develop a brief addiction to Molson during my time in Canada The best of why Canadians just suck at business. Aug 04, Jeff Swystun rated it it was amazing.

I have to state upfront that I was interviewed for this book and am quoted within it. Mandel-Campbell reached out to me and we had a terrific conversation. I would give the book five stars regardless of my participation or point-of-view.

Canada needs to migrate its brand aggresively from a position of abundent natural resources, low-cost manufacturing, and marketing mediocrity. Far too often our innovations are snapped up by foreign companies and their origins or connection to Canada are soon lost. We need to be known for our intellectual capital and business innovation alongside our resources and manufacturing capabilities. The book remains relevant years after its initial publishing and should be required reading in Canadian business schools, for business leaders and managers, and for our politicians.

We cannot afford to be an economy that stands for nothing.
