Business Requirements in India

Titus (2007) revealed that the government laws and regulations of India are still being developed especially with regards to foreign investments.

Conservatives never thought in these terms, rather, they thought of more efficient ways. They wanted to see the government function better, and not simply reduce its size. Further, they wanted the government to least intrusive in people’s daily lives, as individuals would ...
