The first proposition when people are lazy and all they do is sit idly waiting to reap where they did not sow will not solve the matter at hand.

Abstract: A Bright Star Declined

Over the past 2 decades, IBM reach heights of unprecedented success, down to failure, and up to success again. In 1980, they were lagging in the personal computer business but by 1985, they had taken over 40 percent of the market share (Kanter 46). By 2005, IBM made its exit from the PC business and switched to consulting (Kanter 47-8). This is a drastic shift indeed for a company which provided virtually no consulting services in 1990 to becoming one of the largest services companies some 20 years later.

There are different approaches to define small economies. Besides usual quantitative ways to measure country’s smallness by its population, territory, GDP and other criteria, there some qualitative factors that are used to define the economy’s scale.

This peculiarity of small economies mainly lies in the fact that such countries have limited resources.
